The name Mary, and how it is u
The name Mary, and how it is used in the Koran The role that Mary has played in the history of religion is a topic that can be debated. According to the Koran, the only importance of Mary, is that she is undisputedly the mother of Jesus. Also, the only proper name of a woman to be used in the Koran, is the name, Mary (Maryam). However, she has never been referred to as the Virgin Mary in either the Bible or the Koran.1 This is significant in comparing and contrasting some of the importance of this woman and her son to Christianity and Islam religions. The woman known as Mary, is a name that many religions of the world honor. She was born to Anna, the wife of 'Imran and when she was born her mother Anna prayed to God:2O my Lord, I vow to thee what is in my bellydedicated (to thy service); accept (it) from me verily thou art one who hears and knows."3 After she had made this vow to God, she was then confused when He gave a female child. She did not understand how greatness was to come from a female child. As written in the third sura of the Koran, Mary was raised in a way which was devoted to serving God. She worshiped in the temple, just as her mother promised she would if God
9 The Muslims believe that Jesus was not divine, but they do feel he was a prophet worthy of their respect and worship. In those times, it was not common to see a woman who was as admired as Mary was. 20 There are two main conclusions to be made about the use of the word Mary in the Koran and the meanings behind it. It is also argued that Ali, one of the four rightly guided caliphs, had a son who was named after his mother in order to differentiate him from some of his brothers. In sura 3, 37/42, it states that: 'Mary, God gives thee good tidings of a Word from Him whose name is Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary; high honoured shall he be in this world and the next, near stationed to God. The first conclusion deals with the mother of Jesus, Mary. However, they do not agree completely with the views that are portrayed in Luke, chapters one and two, of the New Testament of the Bible. Some feel that the primary message that is delivered by the Koran to Muslims is that the term Son of Mary is used in a negative way. This view of the Nycians, the two aspects of Jesus, eventually won out in popularity.
