Story of Mary

The Story of Mary in the Bible

Mary, baby Jesus, Joseph and friends

The story of Mary in the Bible is long, I suggest reading NIV Luke 1 & 2, NIV Matthew 1 & 2. It seems clear to me that Muhammad is badly summarising Luke’s narrative.

Stories of Mary in the Koran

The Stories of Mary, by Muhammad, in his Koran

Koran 3:35-36

“My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb…”

3:35 [Mention, O Muhammad], when the wife of ‘Imran said, “My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”

36 But when she delivered her, she said, “My Lord, I have delivered a female.”

And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, “And the male is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah].”

Koran 3:35-36

Note that the Arabic has Maryam instead of “Mary”. Muhammad is unable to name “the wife of ‘Imran”.

For more, see Koran 3:35-36.

Koran 3:37

“It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account.”

So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah.

Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He said, “O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?”

She said, “It is from Allah. Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account.”

Koran 3:37

Notice that Muslims burn books and do not make libraries.

For more, see Koran 3:37.

Koran 3:42-44

“That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you,…”

42 And [mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds. 43 O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer].”

44 That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.

Koran 3:42-44

Note the “mention”. Even the translators realise that this is Muhammad reciting a story, not the words of Allah.

Note that “the angels said” is plural 3, which means this is Muhammad with his three personalities inserting himself into the story.

For more, see Koran 3:42-44.

Koran 3:45-47

“Such is Allah; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”

3:45 [And mention] when the angels said, “O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary – distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]. 46 He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.”

47 She said, “My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?”

[The angel] said, “Such is Allah; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”

Koran 3:45-47

Note that “the angels said” is plural 3, which means this is Muhammad with his three personalities inserting himself into the story. Then note that the “angels” become just one “[The angel] said,…” by the translator’s addition. I wonder why the translators missed the first “angels”?

Mary addresses the “angel/s” as “My Lord” which is for Allah, not mere angels. This shows that the angels/angel here is Muhammad. Muhammad the Mad inserts himself into the story.

Note that Mary endures 9 months of pregnancy, then birth. No Allah saying “Be!” and it is.

For more, see Koran 3:45-47.

Koran 19:16-21

“I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy.”

19:16 And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

17 And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

18 She said, “Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah.”

19 He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy.”

20 She said, “How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?”

21 He said, “Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'”

Koran 19:16-21

Note: “Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.” This is Muhammad inserting himself into the story.

For more, see Koran 19:16-21.

Koran 19:22-26

Mary, baby Jesus, Joseph and friends

19:22 So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.

23 And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, “Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten.”

24 But he called her from below her, “Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. 25 And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates. 26 So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, ‘Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.'”

Koran 19:22-26

The “he called her from below her,…” is supposedly the infant Jesus, but I suspect it’s really Muhammad, inserting himself into the story, solving problems for Mary.

For more, see Koran 19:22-26.

Koran 19:27-29

“Then she brought him to her people, carrying him.”

19:27 Then she brought him to her people, carrying him.

They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. 28 O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.”

29 So she pointed to him.

They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?”

Koran 19:27-29

For more, see Koran 19:27-33.

Koran 21:91

“…so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel],…”

And [mention] the one who guarded her chastity, so We blew into her [garment] through Our angel [Gabriel], and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds.

Koran 21:91

Note that the original Arabic of “blew into” is disgusting.

Notice the corrupt repetition with variation in Koran 66:12 below.

For more, see Koran 21:91.

Koran 23:50

Mary, baby Jesus, Joseph and friends

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

Koran 23:50

For more, see Koran 23:50.

Koran 66:12

“…so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel,…”

And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.

Koran 66:12

Notice the corrupt repetition with variation in Koran 21:91 above.

Note that the original Arabic of “blew into” is disgusting.

For more, see Koran 66.

Where does the Nativity account in the Koran, come from? Allah? No.

The Quran Steals the Nativity – The Imploding Standard Narrative

Muhammad’s corrupt repetition shows that his Koran comes from him, not from a real god.

Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
