Mary’s Position in Christianity and Its Comparison with Islam

Recognition of the position of Mary (PBUH), the mother of Jesus Christ (PBUH) in the Christian religion is of undoubted importance, but comparing it with the position of Mary (PBUH) in Islam, and especially in the Qur’an, is very informative. In the Gospels, Mary has a very faded presence, while in the Qur’an, she is of great dignity and high status. Nevertheless, why was Mary raised to the position of the Mother of God among Christians, but she does not have such a position among Muslims? Has Mary’s mediating role increased Mary’s status among Christians? At the same time, in Islam, Mary (PBUH) is pregnant with the divine spirit and her status is such that revelation reaches her. Is the infallibility of Mary (PBUH) certified in the Qur’an? This article aims to briefly study the importance, role, and nature of this saint among her followers, as well as the position of Mary (PBUH) in the Qur’an.
