A Common Word | Episode 6 – Younus Mirza with Shawkat Toorawa
When I started writing my book The Islamic Mary: Maryam Through the Centuries, I was drawn to the Qur’anic chapter of Mary or Surat Maryam. As I started to research the chapter, I came across the work of Shawkat Toorawa who focuses on the sound, rhyme and rhythm of the Qur’an and points out some of Surat Maryam’s unique qualities and characteristics. I was thus excited to see that he has come out with a new book entitled The Devotional Qur’an which translates key chapters and verses that are used in Muslim daily life. I sit down with Shawkat to discuss his spiritual biography, academic background and new book.
