Listen "Kalamopod | Episode 3 "To Do or Not To Do Kalam, That Is the Question" I"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we are looking at an inquisition (mihna) which the Abbasid caliph al-Ma'mun instigated in the year 833. One group of scholars, the muhaddithun, fell victim to the inquisition, while another group of scholars, the practitioners of kalam, benefited from it. At the heart of the inquisition was a single theological question: Was the Quran created or uncreated? - But what was the caliph trying to achieve with his inquisition? What was at stake?
