Video Description (from Youtube)

In episode 28 of Faith and Doubt: 30 Big Questions About Belief, Dr. Shabir Ally explores the question, 'Why were all of the prophets men?' He begins by examining the Quranic language often

interpreted to mean prophets were male but notes alternative understandings that allow for a more inclusive reading. He discusses biblical examples of female prophets such as Miriam, Deborah, and Anna, and highlights that some Muslim scholars, like al-Razi and Ibn Hazm, considered Mary a prophet based on her angelic encounter and her being described as 'chosen' by God. Dr. Shabir concludes that while most prophets seem to have been men, likely due to the public, dangerous, and confrontational nature of the role in patriarchal societies, there is room in both scripture and Islamic scholarship to acknowledge the possibility of female prophets, shifting the question to why there haven’t been more rather than why there haven’t been any.
