[@shortandsweet789]

Thank you bro.... This is the perfect answer...

[@moizahmed4705]

This is often brought up by Christians that the author of the Qur'an confused the mother of Jesus with sister of Aaron and Moses even though the "sister of Aaron" is explained by Prophet Muhammad himself: *Mughira b. Shu'ba reported:* *When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read" O sister of Harun" (i. e. Hadrat Maryam) in the Qur'an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I asked him about that, whereupon he said: The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them. [Sahih Muslim, Hadith **#2135**]* Let's see if Christians are consistent or not. According to Gospel of Luke the father of Mary's husband Joseph was Heli: *Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli, [Luke 3:23]* Yet according to Gospel of Matthew it was Jacob: *and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah. [Matthew 1:16]* It seems that Matthew has mistakenly confused the husband of Mary with the son of Prophet Jacob in in the Old Testament. Another example in the Gospel of Matthew is the following where Jesus cursed the Jews: *And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. [Matthew 23:35]* It doesn't say anywhere in the Old Testament that Zechariah son of Berekiah was murdered by the Jews in the temple, in fact, he was not murdered by anyone. It was actually Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest who was murdered by the Jews in the temple: *Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, “This is what God says: ‘Why do you disobey the Lord’s commands? You will not prosper. Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you." But they plotted against him, and by order of the king they stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. [2 Chronicles **24:20**-21]* Again it seems that Matthew has mistakenly confused Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest with Zechariah son of Berekiah who is mentioned in the book of Zechariah: *In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo: [Zechariah 1:1]* Here is one more example. In the Gospel of Matthew it states the following: *Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.” [Matthew 27:9‭-‬10]* Here Matthew is making the point that betrayal of Jesus by Judas for thirty pieces of silver was foretold by Jeremiah. The problem is that when one looks to the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament, no such prophecy is found. It is actually found in the book of Zechariah: *And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”-the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord. [Zechariah **11:13**]* Also, notice that Matthew speaks of the potter's field while Zechariah mentions nothing about a field. So not only Matthew referenced the wrong book of the Old Testament but even the details are different. It is also worth noting that if we compare the details of this prophecy in the Gospel of Matthew with the book of Acts, we find conflicting details. Matthew mentions that it was they i.e chief priests who purchased the potter's field: *The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. [Matthew 27:6-8]* Whereas the book of Acts states that it was Judas himself who purchased the field: *(With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) [Acts 1:18-19]* Seriously. Christians need to read their own Bible before they start ridiculing the Qur'an or they'll just embarrass themselves before Muslims.

In Arabic, the word ‘human being’ literally translates to ‘son of Adam’. This is the best example I can think of that illustrates the point being made here. Nobody alive today is the biological son of Adam, yet, we are all children of Adam, so that is what a human being is called. So, when it is said that Mary, may peace be upon her, is the sister of Aaron or the daughter of Imran, it means the same thing.

Alhamdulilah indeed "...this concept seems hard for non Muslims to understand and grasp" I don't think so actually, it's really simple but I think the other religions they've followed have given them the idea that God is not Almighty and needs us to do certain things. It just makes simple sense, if Allah can create the entire Universe and the roughly 133,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms that make up the Universe, moving some water around (parting the Red Sea) is nothing for Him!

[@usamawaked6388]

@@tarek-md2mm The hadith mentioned when translated literally says that the Prophet responded : Did you not tell them that they used to name their persons with the names of those pious before them", leaving the door open for the possibility of Mary being the literal sister of Harun since this was the opinion of the Mother of the Beleivers Aisha, she had an argument once with Ka'ab al Ahbar, a former jewish scholar turned Companion of the prophet, and when he tried to refute her with the claim that there is a large timeframe between Mary and Harun she simply remained silent perhaps not to make things hard for Ka'ab. It is worthy of mention that the gap in time between Mary and Harun is irrelevant since the very Son of Mary, Issa, has been absent for more than 2000 years and we await his return any time now so if these more than 2000 years are not impossible for him neither should the time gap between Mary and Harun which is much less than 2000 years. Another factor to take into consideration is the fact that in the story of Moses in the Qur'an his father Imran is misteriously absent, and Mary's father is also misteriously absent to the extent that she had to be entrusted unto Zachariyah. Another misterious factor would be that the very name Imran means "of a long age". Now what is perhaps the most astonishing of them all is the following, that in verse 33 Chapter 3 of the Qur'an, Surah Al Imran specifically Allah says: "Indeed, Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of ’Imrân above all people." and in verse 58 of the 19th chapter namely Surat Maryam the daughter of Imran Allah says the following : "Those were ˹some of˺ the prophets who Allah has blessed from among the descendants of Adam, and of those We carried with Noah ˹in the Ark˺, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those We ˹rightly˺ guided and chose. Whenever the revelations of the Most Compassionate were recited to them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping." As you can see, in the chapter of Mary the mention of the descendants of Imran is replaced with the descendants of Israel who himself is Yaakob, and the very name Yaakob means "he who outlives" in perfect parallel to the meaning of Imran. To make things even more misterious, the Qur'an adresses the descendants of Israel in chapter 2 verse 133 by denying them having witnessed the death of Yaakob: "Or did you witness when death came to Jacob? He asked his children, “Who will you worship after my passing?” They replied, “We will ˹continue to˺ worship your God, the God of your forefathers-Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac-the One God. And to Him we ˹all˺ submit.”. I hope this puts things into perspective brother Tarek and I hope you found my contribution somewhat educational. Salam

[@ardizalras512]

Yet another great topic to cover. Well done brother Paul! if i may add, to those who trying to seek errors of the holy qur'an.. please READ THE VERSE carefully, in this particular case, the Qur'an was just quoting what the Jews said to Mary. period. There are literally several occasions, where the Qur'an quoting what the subjects / persons have said. i repeat QUOTING. And no one can never blame Qur'an for the redaction of the sentence, if one wants to blame someone, in this case, then blame the Jews for having said it the way it was. This particular verse is just a continuation of what the previous statement. Refer to quran Surah Mary (19:26). there!.. didnt you read the word "...They said O Mary... " who is "they". This particular "They" referred to the Jews. The phrase "O sister of Aaron.." was what they've said. And remember, this was customary way at that time, to even further add to the condemnation to the deed she (supposedly) got herself into, which was totally wrong. What could be more intimidating than to bring your noblest of ancestor to remind you the wicked thing you have done to disgrace them (your ancestor) and your lineage and yourself at the same time. it is just like nullifying all their good deeds, their contributions to the community and heritage, I don't really know, if you would understand what having the noblest of ancestry really means. But to the Jews and the Arabs, also the British and other monarchies, Lineage is one of, if not The Most, important thing to uphold. Descendant of Moses held the highest of All lineage from the Jews perspective. I suppose this argument will be sufficient to end the debate. Wallahu a'lam And Allah Knows better.

[@dawntax1609]

A simple answer to this issue: how can Mary the mother of Jesus has a brother called aron if in the same Quran we read the story of the mother of Mary who made an oath, if God gives her a child, she will give this child to serve in the temple?

[@aqeel2859]

As-Salamu Alaykum, brother Paul. May Allah reward you for your efforts. And when it says "Mary, the daughter of Imran." It means "Mary the descendant of Imran the father of Moses, Aaron and Miriam. She was a descendant of Aaron. The Bible says "This is the genealogy of Jesus, The Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham" in the book of Matthew. Also when the Quran says "إِذۡ قَالَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُ عِمۡرَٰنَ" you need to be careful. ٱمۡرَأَتُ Means woman. So his can be read "A woman of Imran (A woman of the descendants of Imran, the father of Moses). (This verses is talking about Mary's mother. However, in other places "A woman of" is sometimes used to say "the wife of" as it can mean "THE woman of". I have 2 quranic apps on my phone. One of them translated it as "The wife of Imran". So you need to be careful. Some translations are a bit off. Mary's father was Jocheram not Amram (Imran).

[@anaskpalmalaki8804]

My opinion Imran was the father of Mary based from these two Quranic verses unless the verses was wrongly translated or wrongly interpreted.If Imran was the biological father of Mary, both Quranic verses fit nicely i.e Imran the father of Mary and Imran the husband to the unnamed woman mentioned in Quran as "WIFE OF IMRAN". The other problem if IMRAN was the father of Mary, whether IMRAN ( AMRAM in bible) was also the father of Moses and Aaron. There were two different Imran but shared the same name . In Quran, the name of the father of Moses and Aaron was not mentioned at all, and In Quran whenever the story of Moses and Aaron were mentioned, Mary was not mentioned. And whenever the story of Mary was mentioned , name of Moses and Aaron were not mentioned except the part ' sister of Aaron' in Q19:28. In the bible, the father of Mary was not mentioned at all in canonical gospels except in the apocrypha gospel as Joaquim . Whether Imran= Joaquim, I am not sure. Quran 3:35 “When the WIFE OF IMRAN said, ‘My Lord, I do dedicate what is in my womb entirely for Your special service. So accept this of me. You are the All-Hearing, the Omniscient.’” 3:36 But the baby came out to be a female, “When she was delivered, she said, ‘My Lord, I am delivered of a female child’- and God knew best what she brought forth - ‘And the male is not like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Your protection from Satan, the rejected.’” Quran 66:12 “and Mary, DAUGHTER OF IMRAN. She guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her from Our spirit. She accepted the truth of her Lord’s words and Scriptures: she was truly devout.”

[@aqeel2859]

@@anaskpalmalaki8804 Salaams, 3:35 translates as "a woman of". The word woman is used. Wife is Zawja in Arabic. Also the last verse you pointed out maybe like "the sister of Aaron", which is not literal. Furthermore, it may be like in the Bible, the Gospel of Matthew states "Jesus (Isa) the son of David (Dawud) the son of Abraham (Ibrahim), which is metaphorical. It would fit quite well, if Jocheram was Imran, but in Arabic Jocheram = Yuwaakim. And Allah knows best

[@anaskpalmalaki8804]

@@aqeel2859 Salam Bro; If Q 3:35 was referred as " a woman of Imran" instead of " wife of Imran" that would mean Mary 's mother and Mary herself was a descendant of Imran. Allah addressed Mary's mother as " a woman of Imran" while Mary was adressed as " daughter of Imran". My opinion Allah was addressing 'woman' or 'daughter' based on age of the person. If she was an aged ( adult or old) person, she would be adressed as " a woman of" and if she was a young woman she would be addressed as " daughter of ". If she was a descendant of Imran and also sister of Aaron ie someone related to Aaron , she fitted in the house of Levi as she also grew up in temple under the care of Zachariah. I presume only child from the house of Levi was allowed to grow up in temple environment. Imran ( or Amman in bible) was also named as the father of Moses and Aaron in the bible.These narrative fit to point Imran as the father of Moses and Aaron and Mary's mother and Mary was descendant of Imran. My only problem with this narrative why Moses and Aaron was not mentioned anywhere in Surah Al Imran and whenever the name Imran appeared, the name of Aaron and Moses was not mentioned. Imran was mentioned in 3 verses in Quran 3:33, Quran 3:35 and Quran 66:12. In surah Al Imran, the name Imran was mentioned in verse 33 and Mary ' s mother was mentioned in verse 35. Quran 3:33 "Allah chose Adam, and Noah, and the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran over all humankind" Who was the descendants of Abraham? ( Ishmael》》 Muhammad, Ishaq》》 Jacob ) Who was the descendants of Imran/ ( Amman)? ( Moses, Aaron 》 》 Zechariah》》 John, Mary 》》 Jesus) And immediately in verse 3: 35 mentioned the story of Mary's mother and in verse 3:35 Mary name was mentioned. No mention at all the story of Moses and Aaron in Surah Al Imran. Quran 3:35 “When the WIFE OF IMRAN said, ‘My Lord, I do dedicate what is in my womb entirely for Your special service. So accept this of me. You are the All-Hearing, the Omniscient.’” Quran 3:36 "But the baby came out to be a female, “When she was delivered, she said, ‘My Lord, I am delivered of a female child’- and God knew best what she brought forth - ‘And the male is not like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Your protection from Satan, the rejected.’” Wallahualam Bissawab.

[@aqeel2859]

@@anaskpalmalaki8804 Wassalam. Yes, I see what you mean, but Allah knows best. It does say "a woman of" but in other places this is used to mean "wife of", but Allah knows best. As per my knowledge, though, Jocheram is Yuwaakeem in Arabic. I'm sure that this shouldn't cause doubt in a Muslim's mind, however, as the prophet (saw) clearly knew that the Aaron was not Mary's brother, but her ancestor (which is true), in the hadith about the Christians of Najran. Meaning, he knew that Aaron's father (Amram) was not literally Mary's father. So If Christians try to say he got Mary confused with Miriam, we can just go to the hadith.... Since we are talking about Imran and his family, let's look at this verse from the chapter "Family of Imran" Quran 3:8 It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah . But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.

[@yasinali6223]

Paul thanks for bringing this new perspective of viewing this verse. Previously Dr. Ahmed Deedat had also addressed the issue very well. Here is my own observation that you find in the Qur'an the words Brother, Father, being used in relationships other than literal biological perspective. In Surat Hud you will find mention of ...And to Aad their Brother Hud ( verse 50), ... and to the Thamud their brother Saaleh (61) ... and to the Madyan their brother Shu'aib.. . Yusuf (PBUH) refers to Ibrahim Aleihi salaam as His father. Even the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in ahadeeth mentions Ibrahim as his father. So could this be an additional explanation as to the use of these relationships in other ways in Arabic language rather literal biological sence?

[@tam8995]

The Quran said in many suras that Aron is Moses brother, if there were any confusion, the Quran would have mentioned that the Jews of the time call her as the sister of Moses instead, since moses was privileged to speak to god and he was the major prophet. Some Semitic people call some one as the brother/ sister of his/her ancestor or tribe, like hey you the brother of quraish, meaning being a descendant of the tribe quraish. The context of the verse, is that the Jews were asking Mary, how could she bear a child while her parents are very descent. They called her the sister of Aron, to hint and emphasize that she should emulate the chasity characteristics of the priests of the temple, the descendants of Aron as is in Judaism… I find this as a very compelling evidence of the truth of the Quran

The surah have 360 words . the word sirius is the 310 word from the beginning of the surah. if we divided 310/360 we have this result 0.86111111. In modern astronomy textbooks the distance in light - years of Sirius is 8.611 light -years ??!! The radius length ratio of Sirius compere to the Sun is 1.71. Sirius is bigger then the Sun.

Peace and brotherhood to followers of guidance. Thank you for your very thoughtful presentations. In pure Arabic a cousin is commonly called a sibling (just as the uncle and aunt are commonly called a father and a mother) so Mary would not need to be a Levite to be a "sister" of Aaron. It is enough that she and he descended from Judah and Levi respectively, the sons of the same ancestral parents, Jacob and Leah. Hence "they [=the Israelites in Maryam 19:28] meant the Prophet Harun, as she was among the descendants of one [=Judah] who held a brotherly tie [=Levi] to him" (Baydawi). This is the stronger gloss. Baydawi also cited the second gloss (Maryam as a Levite descending from Harun), and the third gloss of her being paired with a contemporary of hers named Harun, as in the hadith in Sahih Muslim. "He was said to be a worthless man or a righteous man who lived in their time, to whom they ascribed her sarcastically or in light of what they had previously seen of her righteousness, or by whom they insulted her". Yet another possibility is a reference to the full sister of Moses and Aaron, Miriam, considered a Prophetess (Exodus 15:20), who was evoked by the Israelites as their way of shaming her namesake. These are at least four glosses that preclude any presumed historical error. Regarding the translation of verse 20:52 cited in the thumbnail ("my Lord neither errs nor forgets") it is probably more congruent to have something like "loses nothing and forgets nothing" instead of the intransitive "err", due to the context of Pharaoh's question in 20:51 and the record of creation's history in 20:52. Hence Baydawi glosses it as "Ḍalāl (loss) is for you to mislay something and no longer be able to find it." The current 60+ English translations overlook this perspective because there is no stated direct object for the verb, so they render dalal as error/misguidance; but in the exegetical corpus the direct object here is considered "muqaddar" -- subauded, implicitly supplied.

They said to me: 'Do you people not recite: O sister of Harun (19:28) - while between Musa and 'Eisa there is such (gap) as there is?' I did not know how to respond to them.
