The Mosque Should Be Built!

[Walks_in_islam]

(laughing)@ "last guy".

Not sister of Moses, but sister of Aaron.....in context meaning "righteous like Aaron and how could this happen to you"

In context:

27. Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: "O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariya (an unheard mighty thing).

28. "O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) (Mary)]! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman."

Naturally LOL the line gets taken out of context but this one is not one of the (12) or (13) known discrepencies in the Quran

There appears to be a conflation of two different characters here. Two characters who must have lived more than 1,000 years apart. I am not certain if I ever really understood what the Quran was saying here.
