Reflections on 25 years after 9-11 - an Interview with Jordan Denari Duffner
9-11 had a tremendous impact on my life and career, as I was a sophomore in college, and it led me to a life of researching, teaching and understanding. I recently read the Substack of Jordan Denari Duffner who speaks about how the event impacted her, her community and views of Islamophobia. I sit down with Jordan to better understand what 9-11 meant to her, how Islamophobia has evolved over the last 25 years and her future work and trajectories. Jordan was on the previous ...

The Chapter of Constellations and the Christians of Najran (throwback)
In the Chapter of Constellations (Surat al-Buruj), there is a debate on who it refers to: the Christians of Najran, the Disbelievers in the Hellfire or the Biblical story in Daniel. I go through recent scholarship on the topic and agree with Walid Saleh that it refers to the Christians of Najran. The Christians of Najran were persecuted for their faith and were models of resilience and fortitude to the early Muslim community. Send me a text regarding your feedback, co...

The Faith of Muslim Political Prisoners - An Interview with Walaa Quisay (Throwback)
In many Biblical and Qur'anic stories, the protagonist isolates themselves and, at times, even go to prison. In this interview, I chat with Walaa' Qusaiy about her new book "When Only God Can See: The Faith of Muslim Political Prisoners". Walaa' discusses how faith and spirituality of Muslim prisoners merge with that of prophetic ones, and how they find inspiration and hope in their stories. The prison experience is pervasive in Muslim society and Islamic scholarship ...

You Were Not There - Echos Between Biblical and Qur'anic Figures
Modern Qur'anic Studies often focuses on "echos" or phrases that connect particular stories, figures and prophets. In this episode, I look at the phrase "you were not there" and how it connects certain Biblical and Qur'anic figures and how it emphasizes certain parts of the stories. Specifically, it emphasizes the plotting against Joseph/Yusuf and the caretaking of Mary/Maryam. Send me a text regarding your feedback, comments and questions Subscribe to the Islamic Mary...

Solomon and the Ant (Throwback)
One of the most fascinating stories in the Qur'an is the Story of Solomon/Sulyaman and the ant. An ant see Solomon/Sulyman's army approaching and warns her tribe to take shelter to protect themselves. Solomon/Sulayman hears the ants cry which leads him to pray for God to make him grateful and live a righteous life. The story speaks to the idea of humility, gratitude and conservation.

Can the Story of Joseph Be Made Into a Play?
As I write the second edition of my book "The Bible and the Qur'an: Biblical Figures in the Islamic Tradition", I came across an article by Shawkat Toorawa which tries to turn the story of Joseph/Yusuf into a play. I discuss the article, the challenges of depicting prophets and read some of the play.

Maryam as Model (Throwback)
I discuss how the Qur'an presents Maryam as a model, not just for women and the wives of the Prophet Muhammad but for men as well.
