Question Description
I’m working on a writing discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Write a response of paragraph length to this passage I have attached, paying attention to any of the following questions:
- How does the author give his knowledge authority? How does he claim to have received his information? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the way he sources his data?
- If the passage relates to the Qur’an, how does it relate the descent of the Revelation to the circumstances of Muhammad and his community? Does the Qur’an attempt to explain or justify events that affected early Muslims? Since the Qur’an took 22 years to be completed, what is the connection between the text and their lived history?
- How does the text describe practitioners of other religions? What are the differences in the ways they are described?
