MARY IN ISLAM

The Highly Honored Position of Her Holiness MARY is exemplified in Islam by the Fact that a WHOLE Chapter in The Quran is

dedicated to her by her name MARIAM (Mary). The Quran also narrates the occasion when Angel Jibra’eel (Gabriel) appeared to

Her in human personification giving Her the Glad Tidings of Her Rank With ALLAH by stating that:

Quran [3:42] “OH MARYALLAH HAS CHOSEN YOU AND PURIFIED YOU AND CHOSEN YOU ABOVE WOMEN OF ALL

NATIONS”

WOMEN’S position in ISLAM is further emphasized by the fact that not only is there a whole chapter In the Quran dedicated to this

very famous lady by giving the chapter the title by Her Name, but that another WHOLE chapter of the Quran is dedicated to and is

about WOMEN everywhere and is appropriately Titled “The WOMEN“

ASK Yourself this QUESTION….WHICH? Holy Scripture OTHER THAN THE QURAN…??? gives So Much Importance to WOMEN

that it includes TWO Whole Chapters About them in that Holy Scripture.

Further References in the Quran

Ch Al-Baqara (The Cow)

Quran [2:87] We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear

(Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves

desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!

Ch Al-Baqara (The Cow)

Quran [2:253] those apostles We endowed with gifts, some above others: To one of them Allah spoke; others He raised to degrees

(of honour); to Jesus the son of Mary We gave clear (Signs), and strengthened him with the holy spirit. If Allah had so willed,

succeeding generations would not have fought among each other, after clear (Signs) had come to them, but they (chose) to

wrangle, some believing and others rejecting. If Allah had so willed, they would not have fought each other; but Allah Fulfilleth

His plan.

Quran [4:171] O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the

son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from

Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Say not “Trinity” : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah. Glory be to

Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a

Disposer of affairs.
