#2: The "Standard Islamic Narrative" (SIN) is Holey!

The term 'Standard Islamic Narrative' (or S.I.N. for short) was first coined by Dr Yasir Qadhi in his infamous interview with Mohammed Hijab on June 8, 2020, where he suggested that the Islamic Narrative had "Holes in it", in other words, it was no longer viable for Academics here in the West. We took his reference and have used it ever since, when referring to what the Muslims call their 'Islamic Traditions', which is the basis for much of what Muslims believe and practice worldwide, as it's based on Muhammad's own example. These Narrative sources encompass four genres: The Sira, which is Muhammad’s biography, compiled by Ibn Hisham between 810-833 AD; the hadiths or the sayings of Muhammad, first compiled by Al Bukhari between 850-870 AD; the Tafsir, or the commentaries which explain the Qur'an, first compiled by Al Tabari between 903-923 AD; and the Tarikh, which are the histories surrounding Muhammad and the Qur'an. These 4 genre are absolutely essential for Muslims as they focus on the subjects which are foundational to Islam; namely, The Book (the Qur'an), the Man (Muhammad), and The Place (Mecca). In this episode Al Fadi and Dr. Jay lay the basic foundation concerning what SIN is all about, and what it includes, as they begin to uncover the truth behind the historical sources of Islam itself. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2022 (69,070) Music: "Joy at Work" by Musiclfiles, from filmmusic-io
