The Islamic Mary
Maryam's Fast - Silence, Spirituality and Miracles
As the month of Ramadan approaches, I wanted to explore the word "fasting" (sawm) in the story of Maryam. While most Muslims understand the word "fasting" as abstaining from food and drink, the word "fasting" is used in the Chapter of Maryam in reference silence. The use of the word in the Story allows us to better understanding "fasting" as abstaining from something for a greater spiritual benefit and higher good.
This podcast is based of my blog "Maryam's Fast: Silence, Spirituality and Miracles"
