Maryam (Mary
in Qur’an: -
Recall when the wife of Imran said, ‘my Lord! Surely I have
vowed to Thee what is
in my belly
to be dedicated; accept Thou this of me. Surely Thou! only Thou: art the Hearer, the Knower’. Then
when she bore her, she said, ‘my Lord! Surely I bore a female – And Allah knew best what she had born, – and
the male is not as the female, and surely. I have named her Maryam, and I commit her and her progeny
to Thee for protection from Satan the
accursed’! (Surah ‘Al-e-‘Imran, 3/35-36)
And mention,
thou in the Book Maryam, when she
retired from her people to a place eastward. Then she took beside them a
curtain. Then We sent unto her Our spirit, and he appeared to her in the form
of a sound human being. She said: verily I take refuge with Compassionate from
thee if thou art God-fearing. He said: I am but an envoy of thy Lord, and have
come to bestow on thee a boy, faultless. (Surah
Maryam, 19/16-19)
Recall
when the angels said, ‘O Maryam! Surely
Allah announces to thee a word from
Him: his name shall be the Masih, Isa son of Maryam, illustrious in this
world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought nigh. And he shall speak to
mankind in the cradle and maturity and be one of the righteous. She said, ‘my
Lord! how will there be a son unto me while no man has touched me’! Allah said, ‘so it shall be. Allah creates what He will’. When He
decrees a thing, He only says to it, ‘Be’, and it becomes. (Surah ‘Al-e-‘Imran, 3/45-47)
And
as to see who guarded her chastity, We breathed into her of Our spirit, and
made her and her son a sign unto the worlds. (Surah Al-Anbiya’, 21/96)
Then she
conceived him, and she retired with him to place far-off. Then the birth-pangs
drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said: would that I had died before
this and had become forgotten, lost in oblivion. Then one called from
underneath her: grieve not, thy Lord has placed underneath thee a rivulet. And
shake towards thee the trunk of the palm trees, dates will drop on thee fresh
and ripe. So eat and drink thou, and cool thine eyes, and if thou seest of
humans any one, say thou: verily I have vowed to the Compassionate a fast, so I
shall not speak to anyone today. Then she brought the baby to her people
carrying him. They said: O Maryam! thou
has brought a thing unheard of. O sister
of Harun: thy father was not a
man of evil nor was thy mother unchaste. Then
she pointed to him. They said: how can we speak to one who is in the cradle, a
mere child? He said: verily I am a bondman of Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet. And he has
made me blessed wherever I may be and enjoined on my prayer and purity as long
as I am alive. And dutiful to my mother, and not made me high-handed and
unblest. And peace be on me the day I was born and the day I die and the day I
am raised up. Such is Isa, son of Maryam; this is the word of
truth, wherein they are doubting. (Surah
Maryam, 19/22-34)
And for their
blasphemy and for the uttering against Maryam
a grievous calumny. (Surah An-Nisa’,
4/1
