Brother Muhammad Husni is the host of this series. We have to keep in mind that the series was recorded some twenty years ago. So the statistics are a bit old.

1– How does Islam look at polytheism and what is the verdict that Islam has on polytheism?
2- How does Islam view the dichotomy between good and evil and the worshiping of two Gods?
3- Moving away from associations with Allah of other deities and orders of creation to associating Allah with other humans? In other terms, what about the worshiping of humans?
4- How is Jesus viewed in the Quran? Is he viewed as half way between human and divine? Is he viewed as divine or totally human? Where does he stand?
