| | Khidr in the Islamic Tradition |
| | Since Moses in the Islamic tradition is regarded as a prophet as well as a messenger; bearer of the divine commandments, and conveyer of God’s truth to his people, his seeking of knowledge from a non-prophet does not fit the criterion of the divine wisdom given to all prophets. | | | In Tabari’s view, history has been thus suffused with prophecy, to the extent that it is impossible to extricate the ‘sacred’ from the ‘profane’. | | | Khidr is one of the four prophets whom the Islamic tradition recognizes as being ‘alive’ or ‘immortal’. |

| | Speaking of Faith Violence and Crisis in Islam |
| | Said the Prophet Muhammad, "Islam came as a stranger, and it will be a stranger once again." The same can be said of the religions of Moses and Jesus. | | | While hadiths tend to provide a law-centered view of Islam, the Qur'an stands in contrast, providing a word-centered approach in that the divine word allows human consciousness to experience the knowledge of God. | | | Theoretically, all Islamic law is divine because it is inspired by the word of God in the Qur'an; experientially, most Islamic legal decisions are based on the hadith of the Sunna. |
