Description from the publisher:
“I learned to love Jesus more than my own parents.” “That is Jesus, the son of Mary the word of truth about which they are in dispute” (Quran 19:34)
Jesus has been mentioned by name 25 times in the Quran while Prophet Muhammad has been mentioned by name just five times. Additionally, the nineteenth chapter of the Quran was named after the Virgin “Mary” while there is no chapter in the Quran bearing the name of Prophet Muhammad’s mother, and any of his wives or daughters. It is also noteworthy that Mary is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. She is described in the most honorable way as one chosen and favored over all women.
Allah says:
“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.” (3:42)
It is also noteworthy that Mary is the only woman mentioned in the noble Quran. And the Quran mentions that fair-minded Christians are closest to the Muslims :
“You will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say. “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monk and because they are not arrogant.” (5:82)
