28يا أُختَ هارونَ ما كانَ أَبوكِ امرَأَ سَوءٍ وَما كانَت أُمُّكِ بَغِيًّاN. J. DawoodSister of Aaron,1 your father was never a whore-monger, nor was your mother a harlot.’Muslim commentators deny the charge that there is confusion here between Miriam, Aaron’s sister, and Maryam (Mary), mother of Jesus. ‘Sister og Aaron’, they argue, simply means ‘virtuous woman’ in this context.
