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
Eat, Drink and Be Glad - Verse 26 of the Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam)
After Maryam shakes the palm tree, she is told "to eat, drink, and be glad". This phrase connects her with other Qur'anic mothers, such as the mother of Moses/Musa, and a larger Qur'anic theme of finding joy with your family. Muslims frequently make a prayer that God should bestow upon them spouses and children who bring happiness to their heart.
