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 Slander - Verse 27 of the Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam)
After Maryam has her child Jesus/'Isa, she has to return to her people and face their judgement and criticism. Maryam "carries" her child which echoes how Noah was "carried" in the ark. Also, Maryam is attacked for her perceived sexual immorality which is similar to other figures in the life of the Prophet Muhammad, such as his wife 'Aisha. The slander, accusations, and criticism eventually lead to her defense through the words of Jesus/'Isa
