    Aaron - The Helper and Sibling Prophet

    Various Biblical and Qur'anic prophets play different roles, ranging from parents to children. Aaron/Harun plays the role of a sibling, helping his brother Moses/Musa on his mission against Pharaoh and being a loyal aid and companion. Moses/Musa specifically asks God for Aaron/Harun's help because he trusts him and is more articulate and eloquent.

    The Chapter of Constellations and the Christians of Najran

    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.

    Luqman - The Wise Father

    When we think of fathers, the stereotypical image of somebody who is stern, domineering and even coercive may come up. In the stereotypical image of Islam, fathers are simply breadwinners and maintainers and arrange their daughters into unhappy and unloving marriages. Today, we explore the image of Luqman who is seen in the Qur'an as wise and teaches his son morals and etiquette. Luqman presents the image of a father who is teacher, mentor and guide.
