MARY and MIRIAM; Difference between Mary (Maryam – Mother of Jesus) and Miriam (sister of Haroon (Aaron) and Mosa (Mosses) – The prophet Muhammad PBUH didn’t know the difference between them?
July 31, 2011
This article deals with explaining the key difference between Mary and Miriam.
First — Mary and Miriam had 1300 years difference in their births
The difference between the birth of Marry and Miriam was 1300 subordinate years.
Problem
There is a statement in Quran the Holy Book of Muslims that proves that it is not the book of God.
It is stated in Holy Qur’an that Mary was the sister of Aaron (pbuh) which is a wrong statement as she was rather the mother of Jesus and thus Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was not aware of the difference between Mary and Miriam for the time span between Mary and Miriam was approximately one thousand and three hundred years.
Answer
The Holy book Qur’an states in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verses 27-28
‘Then she brought him (child) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: “O Mary! You have certainly done a thing unprecedented. “O sister of Aaron! Your father was not a man of evil nor was your mother unchaste!”” [Surah Maryam 19:27-28]
In the Arabic structure of sentence, a sister is part of family and is a descendant. Therefore, when the people said to Mary, Ya Ukhta Haroon i.e. ‘O sister of Aaron’ it meant descendant of Aaron (pbuh).
It is stated in the Gospel of Mathew, Chapter 1 verse 1
“Jesus Christ, the son of David,..”.
[Mathew 1:1]
It is also mentioned in the Gospel of Luke Chapter 3, verse 23
“And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of
Joseph,…”
[Luke 3:23]
The description of the phrase that Jesus (pbuh) was the son of David (pbuh), is that Jesus
(pbuh) was a descendant of David (pbuh). So, ‘Son’ here too means a descendant.
Bottom line:
In Arabic sentence structure a sister and a son are decedents and when Marry is called sister of Aaron, it is a reference of descendant and when Jesus is called son of David and Joseph it also is in reference of descendant.
