Hume’s ‘Of Miracles,’ Islam, and Prophetic Revelation by Professor Imran Aijaz

In this presentation, Professor Aijaz revisits David Hume’s famous critique of miracles and argues that it has major — and often overlooked — implications for Muslim philosophy of religion. He explains why arguments for prophecy based on miracle reports fail under Hume’s analysis and calls for Muslim philosophers to rethink the epistemological foundations of belief in prophecy and revelation.
