Such an incredible video you created! Mashallah! In the Quran, Maryam (AS) is not just a chapter but her voice is present. Her story centers her in the Quran. I do not quite agree with your thesis.

Thank you for your comment! Maybe I wasn't clear enough in the video, but this is exactly the heart of my argument! The story of Maryam (as) in the Qur'an does center her voice powerfully. It is our human retellings, while well-intentioned, that can have some of the negative connotations I discuss in the video. Any human retelling, including this one, will always have its limits. My goal is only to share how I grew to love Maryam's (as) story since it had been difficult for me to when I was younger.
