Translated and edited by Rev. Lawrence T. Fares. "Mary is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran and is honored as one of the most righteous women to have ever lived. The Quran explicitly states that she was chosen and purified by God, making her a central figure in Islamic theology. In Surah 3:42, it is stated: O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds. This verse emphasizes her exceptional status among women in Islam" | A detailed study of the figure of Mary (Maryam) as presented in the Qur’an. Explores her place as a theological and exegetical nexus between Christian Mariology and Islamic discourse.
