Hi
I am an Ahmadi peaceful Muslim. We believe in Jesus and Mary from the truthful account of their life mentioned in Quran. Quran mentions of Mary and Jesus in many chapters. One such chapter is even named after her titled “Maryam” her name in Arabic form.
There is a strong similarity between the events of Jesus and his cousin John the Baptist , called Yahya in the Arabic form. I think you will enjoy it; I quote just some verses from Quran for your interest:
[19:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[19:2] Kaf Ha Ya ‘Ain Sad.
[19:3] This is an account of the mercy of thy Lord shown to His servant Zachariah,
[19:4] When he called upon his Lord in a low voice.
[19:5] He said, ‘My Lord, my bones have indeed become feeble and my head is all aflame with hoariness but never, my Lord, have I been unblessed in my prayer to Thee;
[19:6] ‘And I fear my relations after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me from Thyself a successor,
[19:7] ‘To be my heir and the heir of the blessings of the House of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, well-pleasing to Thee.’
[19:8] God said, ‘O Zachariah, We give thee glad tidings of a son whose name shall be Yahya. We have not called any one before him by that name.’
[19:9] He said, ‘My Lord, how shall I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have reached the extreme limit of old age?
[19:10] The angel bearing the revelation said, ‘So shall it be.’ But thy Lord says, ‘It is easy for ME, and indeed I created thee before, when thou wast nothing.’
[19:11] Zachariah said, ‘My Lord appoint for me a commandment.’ God said, ‘The commandment for thee is that thou shalt not speak to the people for three successive days and nights.’
[19:12] Then he came forth unto his people from the chamber and asked them in a low voice to glorify GOD morning and evening.
[19:13] God said, ‘O Yahya, hold fast the Book.’ And We gave him wisdom while yet a child,
[19:14] And tenderness of heart from US and purity, and he was pious,
[19:15] And dutiful towards his parents. And he was not haughty and rebellious.
[19:16] And peace was on him the day he was born, and the day he died, and peace will be on him the day he will be raised up to life again.
[19:17] And relate the story of Mary as mentioned in the Book, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern place;
[19:18] And screened herself off from them. Then We sent Our angel to her and he appeared to her in the form of a well proportioned man.
[19:19] She said, ‘I seek refuge with the Gracious God from thee if indeed thou dost fear Him.’
[19:20] The angel said, ‘I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may give thee glad tidings of a righteous son.’
[19:21] She said, ‘How can I have a son when no man has touched me, neither have I been unchaste?’
[19:22] The angel said, ‘Thus it shall be.’ But says thy Lord, ‘It is easy for ME; and We shall do so that We may make him a Sign unto men, and a mercy from US, and it is a thing decreed.’
[19:23] So she conceived him, and withdrew with him to a remote place.
[19:24] And the pains of child-birth drove her unto the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, ‘O, would that I had died before this and had become a thing quite forgotten!
[19:25] Then the angel called her from beneath her, saying, ‘Grieve not. Thy Lord has placed a rivulet below thee;
[19:26] ‘And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree; it will drop upon thee fresh ripe dates;
[19:27] ‘So, eat and drink and cool thine eye. And if thou seest any man, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Gracious God; I will, therefore, not speak this day to any human being.’
[19:28] Then she brought him to her people, mounted. They said, ‘O Mary, surely, thou hast committed a monstrous thing!
[19:29] ‘O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a wicked man, nor was thy mother an unchaste woman!’
[19:30] Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, ‘How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?’
