Maryam (sura)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sura Maryam (Arabic: سورة مريم ) (Mary) is the 19th sura of the Qur'an and is a Makkan sura. It has 98 ayat and is named after Miryām the Semitic name for Mary, Mother of Jesus (Isa).
Isa is much revered by Muslims as a very important prophet of Islam (but not as the Son of God). Islamic belief holds that he was born of a virgin birth but that neither he nor his mother were divine. Actually, in this sura, God describes those who say that Isa was the Son of God as saying something blasphemous, as God is the omnipotent creator and all the creatures in earth and in heaven are God's servants. Maryam is venerated as "the Lady of the women of the world" (سيدة نساء العالمين), but not as the mother of God.
The sura tells the story of the birth of Yahya (John the Baptist) after his father's desperation for having a child. It goes on to say that God Himself named him and that he was the first to carry this name. Then the sura tells the story of the pregnancy of Maryam and the birth of Isa(Jesus) the Messiah.
