The Opening - Verse 1 of the Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam) (Throwback)

Today, we revisit the first episode of my commentary of the chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam).  I have now done commentaries of over 30 of the first verses of the chapter that you can follow on the podcast archives.  The Chapter of Mary (Surat Maryam) is unique with a special rhyme scheme, opening letters and emphasis on love and mercy.  I speak about its context, relationship with other Qur'anic chapters and what makes it distinct.   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!
