This is so interesting. This lecture deals with what I wanted to know about without having to hear it from a likely biased person. Thanks a ton for posting this.

At 18:19, the speaker says, “Muslims had, by this time, adopted the doctrine that the Quran was Muhammad's sole miracle, one amply sufficient to prove that he was a genuine prophet.” Muslims don't believe that the Qur'an is Muhammad's (pbuh) sole miracle, only his greatest.

The only reason for interest in Islamic Philosophy is to learn how it killed science in the Islamic world. And the only reason for studying Christiian and Jewish philosophy is to find out how it almost destroyed science in the west. Such studies can provide a map of do's and don'ts. How to prevent philosophy from becoming subservient to theology.
