    Jacob - The Emotional and Spiritual Father

    I have been thinking about fathers recently: what do they do? What is their function?  How are they effectively?  Today, I dive into the Biblical and Qur'anic Jacob/Yaqub and explore how the Qur'an understands fathers, especially in terms of their spiritual and mentorship role.  Jacob/Yaqub is open about his emotions, complains to God, and encourages his sons to have belief or hope.   Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questions Subscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    Understanding Salafism - An Interview with Yasir Qadhi (Throwback)

    One of the reasons I became interested in Biblical and Qur'anic figures is because I did my dissertation and initial research on the medieval Ibn Kathir (d. 774/1373) and Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328).  Both Ibn Kathir and Ibn Taymiyya engaged the Arabic Bible and wrote on Biblical literature and its relationship to the Qur'an.  These figures today would be understood as "salafis".  But what does that mean?  I sit down with Yasir Qadhi to discuss the meaning of "salafism", his relationship to the movement, and the potential for a more inclusive Islam.   Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questions Subscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    Maryam's Fast - Silence, Spirituality and Miracles (Throwback)

    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.

    Zulaykha - Seducing Joseph and the Repentance

    Zulaykha is often seen in the Islamic tradition as a temptress and someone who tries to seduce the prophet Joseph/Yusuf.  However, minority readings focus on her repentance and how she eventually speaks the truth and seeks the mercy and forgiveness of God.   Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questions Subscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

    Reinventing Islam - An Interview with Deanna Womack

    I have always wondered about the roots of modern day Islamophobia?  When did it start?  How did it develop?  How was it formed?  In this interview, Deanna Womack takes us into her new book "Re-inventing Islam: Gender and the Protestant Roots of American Islamophobia" where she examines the connection between the history of missions and contemporary Islamophobia.  Along the way, she provides a more nuanced understanding of missionaries, their lives, goals and aspirations.  Many of them would eventually became champions of interfaith dialogue and build bridges between the civilizations.     Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questions Subscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
