A Common Word | Episode 5- Younus Mirza Hosts Maria Barga

In this episode of A Common Word, Dr. Younus Mirza hosts Dr. Maria Barga. In the Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam), Zechariah/Zakariyya foreshadows the coming of Maryam.  I sit down with Maria Barga to discuss her article "Redeeming Zachariah" which uses the Qur'an to understand the Biblical narrative and to argue that Zachariah should be seen more in a positive light.  Along the way, we discuss issues related to silence, suffering and divine questioning.   Subscribe to A Common Word podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify Order my book "The Islamic Mary: Maryam Through the Centuries"  Visit the Maydan website for more podcasts, blogs and videos.
