About This Book:

Maryam (Mary), in Islamic tradition, is accorded great honor and reverence. She was a pious and honorable woman who was selected by Allah (God) to witness the miraculous birth of Jesus (Isa), according to the Quran. Several passages of the Quran, including Surah Maryam (Chapter 19) and Surah Al-Imran (Chapter 3), contain the account of Maryam and Isa. These narratives emphasize Maryam's piety and her function as Jesus' mother. The nineteenth chapter of the Qur'an is named Maryam, the Arabic name for Mary, the mother of Isa (Jesus). The reading of this chapter shows reverence Muslims have towards Jesus, his mother, Zakariyya and his son Yahya (John the Baptist). The chapter presents the lives of the Virgin, her son and of John before them in terms of grace, love and miracle.
