MARYAM BINT IMRAAN

MARYAM BINT IMRAAN

Maryam was the mother of the Prophet Jesus, who had a miraculous birth without a father. Her story is given in great detail throughout the Quran, including her religious upbringing, her miracles and also her ability to overcome the accusations of the townspeople. There is in fact an entire chapter named after Maryam in the Quran.

Allah states about her in the Quran “Allah has chosen you, purified you and chosen you above all women”. Quran 3:42

Allah also referred to her as an “example for the believers” and stated that “She believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient”. Quran 66:12
