Mary, the mother of Jesus, has been historically revered throughout the Islamic tradition. This began already in the Qur’an, where she is called by the name “Maryam.” This book examines the varied appearances of Maryam in different Islamic cultural and theological contexts. The chapters in this history extend from Maryam’s scriptural mentions in the Qur’an and the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, her appearances in medieval debates regarding prophecy, citations of her virtuous model in Sufi discussions of piety, presentations in art and film, through to her role in modern interfaith relations.
