[فداء الرسول]

العذراء في القران الكريم والكتاب المقدس

Virgin in the Koran and the Bible

يقول القران الكريم ان ابن عمران نذر ابنته لخدمة دينه ولم تتزوج قبل ميلاد المسيح وبعده

قال الله تعالى:
{إذ قالت امرأة عمران رب إني نذرت لك مافي بطني محررا فتقبل مني إنك أنت السميع العليم * فلما وضعتها قالت رب إني وضعتها أنثى والله أعلم بما وضعت وليس الذكر كالأنثى وإني سميتها مريم وإني أعيذها بك وذريتها من الشيطان الرجيم * فتقبلها ربها بقبول حسن وأنبتها نباتاً حسناً وكفلها زكريا كلما دخل عليها زكريا المحراب وجد عندها رزقا قال يامريم أنى لك هذا قالت هو من عند الله إن الله يرزق من يشاء بغير حساب } [آل عمران : 35-37].

ولذا تدعى مريم بالعذراء لانها لم تتزوج بل كرمها الاسلام وقال عنها القران انها غير نسائ العالمين

{وإذ قالت الملائكة يامريم إن الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين * يامريم اقنتي لربك واسجدي واركعي مع الراكعين * ذلك من أنباء الغيب نوحيه إليك وما كنت لديهم إذ يلقون أقلامهم أيهم يكفل مريم وما كنت لديهم إذ يختصمون }[آل عمران : 42-44]

"When the wife of Imran said:'O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb [my child] to be dedicated to Your services, so accept this [my vow] from me. Verily, All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.' Then we she delivered her she said:


'O my Lord! I have delivered a female child' - and Allah knew better what she delivered - 'And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam and I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from Satan, the outcast.' " (Quran 3:35-36)

The wife of Imran, and mother of Mary, out of her devotion to God vowed to dedicate the child in her womb to the sacred service of God and asked God to accept her vow. Her hopes were in a male child who will be brought up to service the places of worship and be dedicated to serve God. Delivering a female child, she realized that things did not go according to her plan, but decided to fulfill her vow, andMaryam was the name of the child. And she made a prayer for her newly born asking God to protect her and her offspring from Satan. The verses following described the response of God to the vow and to the prayer of the mother:

"So her Lord accepted her [Maryam] with good acceptance." (Quran 3:37).

Koransays:

And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."



يدعى انجيل متى الاصحاح الاول العدد 18-25 : ان مريم العذراء تزوجت من يوسف

Tells the Gospel of Matthew that Mary was married to Joseph


18 أما ولادة يسوع المسيح فكانت هكذا: لما كانت مريم أمه مخطوبة ليوسف، قبل أن يجتمعا، وجدت حبلى من الروح القدس
19 فيوسف رجلها إذ كان بارا، ولم يشأ أن يشهرها، أراد تخليتها سرا
20 ولكن فيما هو متفكر في هذه الأمور، إذا ملاك الرب قد ظهر له في حلم قائلا: يا يوسف ابن داود، لا تخف أن تأخذ مريم امرأتك. لأن الذي حبل به فيها هو من الروح القدس
21 فستلد ابنا وتدعو اسمه يسوع. لأنه يخلص شعبه من خطاياهم
22 وهذا كله كان لكي يتم ما قيل من الرب بالنبي القائل
23 هوذا العذراء تحبل وتلد ابنا، ويدعون اسمه عمانوئيل الذي تفسيره: الله معنا
24 فلما استيقظ يوسف من النوم فعل كما أمره ملاك الرب، وأخذ امرأته
25 ولم يعرفها حتى ولدت ابنها البكر. ودعا اسمه يسوع


Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

JESUS

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,

which being interpreted is, God with us.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

فيما يثبت انجيل متى الاصحاح 12 العدد 50-46 ان مريم العذراء لها اولاد من يوسف


46 وفيما هو يكلم الجموع إذا أمه وإخوته قد وقفوا خارجا طالبين أن يكلموه
47 فقال له واحد: هوذا أمك وإخوتك واقفون خارجا طالبين أن يكلموك
48 فأجاب وقال للقائل له: من هي أمي ومن هم إخوتي
49 ثم مد يده نحو تلاميذه وقال: ها أمي وإخوتي
50 لأن من يصنع مشيئة أبي الذي في السماوات هو أخي وأختي وأمي

And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."

Miram is Aaron’s sister and daughter of Amran (Imran) in the bible, but in the Old Testament not New. This is Imran you say is the father of Mary existed over 1000 years previous so cannot be the parents of Mary mother of Jesus. On that basis they would not have dedicated the child in her womb ...Mary.. To the service of God. You must answer why this contradiction is in the Quran. Why would you claim that according to the Quran Mary was the best woman in the world? If Jesus was simply another Prophet in a long line of Prophets then Mary being His mother is no greater an achievement of any other mother of any other Prophet.




Exodus 4:14 Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.


... Amram(Imran) is the Father of Aaron and Moses (and Miriam) in the Old Testament..


Exodus 6:20 Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.... Again Old Testament.


Mary, the mother of Jesus is the daughter of Heli.


Luke 3:23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,


Mary was of the tribe of Judah, this is made clear not only in the genealogy of Luke 3, but also Hebrews 7 which states that Jesus descended from Judah not from Levi and that his priesthood is according to Melchesidek.


Although Luke 3 appears to give a genealogy of Joseph, the Greek word used for Son is Huios which can be used to denote a son from the legal aspect as in .... son through adoption or son in law, hence Joseph was a son in law of Heli.

كيف يقول الكتاب المقدس ان مريم عذراء وقد تزوجت من يوسف؟

How does the Bible say that theVirgin Mary.Mary married Joseph?

There are three passages of Scripture that pertain specifically to the time of Joseph and Mary’s betrothal, the consummation of their marriage, and the birth of Jesus.. Which you have touched on above... Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-56; Luke 2:1-7. Each passage reveals something about their relationship as well as the cultural traditions of that time.


In Bible times, Jewish marriage customs regarding a couple’s engagement were far different and much more stringent than those we are familiar with today. Marriages were arranged by the parents of the bride and groom and often without even consulting the couple to be married. A contract was prepared in which the groom’s parents paid a bride price. Such a contract was immediately deemed binding, with the couple considered married even though the actual ceremony and consummation of the marriage would not occur for as long as a year afterwards. The time between was a sort of testing of fidelity with the couple having little, if any, contact with each other. I believe this is similar practice found in Islam today... So you should easy understand this.


It was during this betrothal period that the angel Gabriel visited Mary and told her of her impending pregnancy. Joseph soon became aware of Mary’s pregnancy, and this no doubt was cause for consternation on his part... "Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly" (Matthew 1:19). Jewish custom allowed that they be considered as husband and wife, though the marriage had not yet been consummated. The point is being made that Joseph and Mary had experienced no sexual contact with each other, as verse 18 “before they came together” points out. So, Joseph was in a quandary. Jewish law provided that his betrothed, because of her unfaithfulness, could be placed before the elders for judgment and stoned to death. But he was thinking to just put her away quietly without public knowledge. Betrothals or marriage engagements in those ancient times were binding and could only be terminated by an official divorce decree.


It was then that the angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and explained to him that all this was bringing about the fulfillment of prophecy that a virgin would bear a child who was to be the Saviour and so he ..(Joseph) did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.


Luke 2:1-7 also confirms the idea that Joseph and Mary, though betrothed, were considered as husband and wife by Jewish customs even though the actual marriage ceremony had not been fully effectuated. So, Joseph and Mary were actually legally married before the birth of Jesus though their marriage was not consummated physically until after His birth.

Luke 2:1-7
The Birth of Jesus Christ
2 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,2 who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
