MES 13.12 Magic, Miracles, and the Prophet Muhammad

Do you believe in miracles? What are they, anyway? And how did the Middle East’s long history of miracle-working influence expectations of what Islam and the Prophet Muhammad would be like? Do modern Muslims still believe in and work miracles? In this course students will explore these questions through sources related to the prophetic history of the Middle East, the miraculous events of Muhammad’s lifetime and the role of miracles in the Islamic world today.
