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.
