This story of Muhammad's night journey is often told as a personal one where he travels to Jerusalem and ascends to God. In this episode, I speak about how the Qur'an connects Muhammad to Moses/Musa and how they both have night journeys.

One of the questions regarding the Qur'an is whether it is a scripture that supports gender hierarchy or equality. I examine a new article that touches on the meaning of "devout" (qanitat) in the Quran and how it could help answer this question. In particular, Mary/Maryam is described as being among the "devout" and as a model for all believers.

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 relates to the story of Moses/Musa and emphasizes certain parts of the story, such as when he became a law giver, lived in Midian, and spoke to God. This episode builds off the previous episode "You Were Not There - Echos Between Biblical and Qur'anic Figures."
