This lecture series explores the complex relationship of Judaism and Islam to the other religions. Two researchers are invited to each event who present the topic from Jewish and Islamic perspectives and enter into dialog with each other.
This event is the prelude to the new lecture series Others’ Faith. To begin with, Judaism and Islam consider each other – two scholars discuss how they see each other from different perspectives.

Judaism is generally regarded as the first monotheistic religion. The advent of Islam, however, brought a strictly monotheistic “competitor” to Judaism. How did Jewish scholars view this new religion? Both the Koran and early Islamic writings testify to numerous encounters between the Prophet Mohammed and Jews. What does the Muslim Holy Scripture and early Muslim tradition reveal about how they perceived Jews and their religious ideas and practices?
Lukas Mühlethaler and Imam Abdullah Antepli discuss how Judaism and Islam see each other. Event on 21 November 2019; Jewish Museum Berlin 2019
