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 questionsSubscribe to the Islamic Mary podcast which is available on the major podcast streaming services, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.Order my new book The Islamic Mary: Maryam Through the Centuries Take my quiz on the Islamic Mary which is based on my research and teaching Visit my website to learn more about my bio, research, and blogs.Join my listserve to be updated about my research, speaking and publications, especially my book on the Islamic Mary.Thanks for listening to The Islamic Mary Podcast!
