The Islamic Mary
A podcast about Maryam in the Qur'an, Islamic tradition, and Christian-Muslim relations. It is a journey into my forthcoming book on the Islamic Mary and my interest in Biblical and Qur'anic figures and Islam and Interreligious Studies.
The Islamic Mary
The Call From Below - Verse Number 24 of the Chapter of Maryam (Surat Maryam)
After Maryam laments and wishes she was dead and long forgotten, she hears a call from below. This voice guides her on what to do next and informs her that she should not worry or be sad. This "call" connects her to Zechariah/Zakariyya as well as Moses/Musa who discussed later in the chapter. The verse further connects Maryam to the Mother of Moses/Musa who is also instructed to trust god and not worry about her child.
