The Humanity of Muhammad: A Discussion with Dr. Craig Considine

Dr. Considine's book "The Humanity of Muhammad" explores the Prophet's contributions to human civilization in promoting civic nation building, racial equality, and religious pluralism

Muhammad was a champion of women’s rights and far ahead of his time in promoting feminism, exemplified by his relationship with Khadija
The book cover symbolizes the blending of humanity envisioned by Muhammad for the Ummah, representing diverse groups coming together for the betterment of human civilization
Dr. Considine, a Christian who writes positively on Islam, faces criticism from both Muslims and Christians but remains focused on his mission of being a bridge
His earliest memory of faith is watching his Italian grandmother pray the Rosary, instilling a strong foundation of faith in him
Dr. Considine believes that human civilization needs to look beyond our world for other spaces to live and thrive, and while he does not foresee AI dominating humanity as in the movie "iRobot," he acknowledges the possibility
He believes the purpose of life is to love and do good, echoing Jim Valvano's three things to do every day: laugh, think, and cry
Faith in the ability to create a better world is crucial to humanity's well-being, providing optimism for a better future and contributing to social cohesion
Dr. Considine humbly admits uncertainty about the nature of "God" but believes in a force that created everything, aligning with Socrates' humility in admitting knowledge limitations
