Jesus is revered by 4.6 billion people, representing 56% of the global population. Christians honor him as the Son of God. Muslims venerate him as a prophet born miraculously to the Virgin Mary. Yet most people have never explored how these two faiths view the same figure. In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with Mustafa Akyol, author of The Islamic Jesus. They trace Jesus' life through both Christian and Islamic traditions. Mustafa reveals Jesus appears 93 times in the Quran with titles including Messiah (mentioned 11 times), word of God, and spirit of God.
Mary is mentioned more in the Quran than in the Bible. There's an entire chapter named for her in Islamic scripture.

Muslim women were granted complete financial independence in the seventh century. They controlled their earnings, owned property, kept their inheritance, and received mahr as a binding marital gift. Centuries later, cultural practices buried most of these rights.

In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sets the record straight on what the Quran actually says about women versus what politicians and pundits claim.
