Maryam bint Imran عليها السلام

Mother of Prophet Isa (AS) — Honoured in the Qur’an

"And [remember] when the angels said: O Maryam, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds."

— Qur’an, Surah Aal Imran 3:42

🌟 Early Life and Devotion

Maryam (AS) was born into the noble family of Imran. From her childhood, she was dedicated to the service of Allah, raised in purity and devotion. She spent her youth in worship and seclusion, protected and nurtured by Zakariya (AS).

🌙 The Miraculous Birth of Isa (AS)

Maryam (AS) was chosen by Allah for a miracle unlike any other — to give birth to Prophet Isa (AS) without a father. When the angel Jibreel (AS) brought her the news, she was astonished, yet she submitted to Allah’s will with faith and humility.

Her story is a testament to Allah’s power and mercy, and her patience during trials remains an inspiration for believers.

📖 Honoured in the Qur’an

Maryam (AS) is the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur’an, with an entire chapter — Surah Maryam — dedicated to her. She is praised for her chastity, devotion, and unwavering faith. Her example is held up as a model for all believers, men and women alike.

🌹 Legacy and Example

Maryam (AS) is honoured as one of the four greatest women of all time. Her purity, patience, and devotion to Allah continue to inspire generations. She is remembered not only as the mother of Prophet Isa (AS), but as a believer whose faith was unshakable.

May Allah honour Maryam bint Imran (AS) and grant us the ability to emulate her purity, devotion, and steadfastness in faith.

عليها السلام — Peace be upon her
