Mary

Maryam bint Imran (Mary), mother of Prophet Isa (Jesus), holds a uniquely exalted place in Islam as the only woman named in the Quran. Revered for her purity, devotion, and the miraculous virgin birth of Jesus, she is regarded as one of the greatest women and a model of faith.

Prophet Isa (Jesus), the Messiah born of the Virgin Maryam, is one of the greatest prophets in Islam — a miracle-worker who healed the sick and raised the dead, who was raised to heaven by God, and who will return before the Day of Judgment.

Known as Zakariya in Arabic, Zechariah was a righteous prophet and priest who served in the Temple of Jerusalem, guardian of Mary, and father of John the Baptist, blessed with a miraculous son in his old age.
