MARY, A SISTER OF AARON

MARY, A SISTER OF AARON? The verse in question is; يَٰٓأُخْتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمْرَأَ سَوْءٍۢ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّۭا O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste." Qur’an 19:28 It does not mean...
Man is an intelligent being and for centuries, lots of topics have been debated amongst intellectuals before and after the Age of Reason or Enlightenment up to this day. The act of debate, analysis, scrutiny, fact-finding may be better...
