An Introduction To Islam

Pastor Paul Blair is a former college All Star at Oklahoma State University and Chicago Bears offensive tackle. Blair has served as the Senior Pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond, OK, since 2001 and a satellite, Liberty Church of Orlando, in 2018. He is also the founder of libertypastors.com.

In this session, Pastor Blair teaches about the origins and core texts of Islam.

Islam began in the 7th century with Muhammad in Mecca and Medina. The Quran is considered by Muslims to be the literal words of Allah. The Hadith and Sunnah provide additional teaching — including political and legal direction.

Blair emphasizes that Islam is not only a religion, but also:

A legal system (Sharia)
A political ideology
A social order
