Islam: Jesus' mother Mary was the sister of Aaron?

[Barbkw]

You are correct, what I should have written was: Muhammad had already implemented a process in which scribes wrote out his spoken words (Muhammad was illiterate) and his followers had memorized that text.

From Wiki:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur’an

"Muslims believe that the Qur’an was revealed from God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel from 610 to 632 CE, the year of his death.[2][6][7]

Muhammad recited the Qur’an to his followers, numbering tens of thousands, who recited after him, until they had memorized it.

**He also dictated it to his scribes (Muhammad was illiterate) who wrote down its verses during his life. **

Shortly after Muhammad’s death the Qur’an was established textually into a single book form by the order of the first Caliph Abu Bakr.[8]

For Reference see: a b Sahih al-Bukhari, 6:60:201

During the reign of Uthman, the third Caliph, the Qur’an was standardized: Uthman compiled Abu Bakr’s copy of the Qur’anic text, set it in the standard Quraish dialect called Fus’ha (Modern Standard Arabic), made several copies of the now standardized text and burned the non-standard texts.[9]"

Interesting to know info about Abu Bakr and the Quran.

From Wiki:

"Shortly after Muhammad’s death the Qur’an was established textually into a single book form by the order of the first Caliph A**bu **Bakr.[8]

During the reign of Uthman, the third Caliph, the Qur’an was standardized: Uthman compiled Abu Bakr’s copy of the Qur’anic text, set it in the standard Quraish dialect called Fus’ha (Modern Standard Arabic), made several copies of the now standardized text and burned the non-standard texts.[9]

"**bu Bakr **(Abdullah ibn Abi Qahafa)
(Arabic: عبد الله بن أبي قحافة; Transliteration: 'Abdullāh bin Abī Quhāfah,
c. 573 CE – 23 August 634/13 AH)[1]

Abu Bakr was the Prophet Muhammad’s father-in-law, one of his companions and the first Muslim ruler after Muhammad’s death.[2]"

"During Muhammad’s lifetime, he was not assigned to any civil or military authority and responsibility and he wasn’t ever distinguished in any of Muhammad’s campaigns.[3]

By rejecting the legitimist claims of Ali about his right to successorship,[4][5] Umar imposed Abu Bakr as Caliphate[6][7], which was the beginning of Islam schism.[8]

Opponents like Ali and Fatimah were threatened with an attempt to set fire to their house.[5][9]

Abu Bakr’s Caliphate lasted two years and three months.

First civil war and Muslim massacre occurred in his caliphate time, when upon the death of Muhammad, some tribes rebelled against him.[10][11] To consolidate his government, he invaded Sassanid Persian and Byzantine Empire conquering the lands of Syria and Iraq.[12] He chose Umar as his successor.

Sunni Muslims believe that Abū Bakr was the first man (adult male) to convert to Islam.[2][13] and regarded him as the first of the Rashidun (righteously guided Caliphs).[14]

Shia Muslims view him as doing Coup d’état agains Ali’s right to successorship[15], usurping properties of Fatima[16] and being responsible in her death.[17]"

If I am not mistaken, the Sunni claim is that Abu compiled the first koran, however ~

Shia claim that it was Ali

** I believe that we are going to get a warning regarding the topic and going off thread discussion **

Let’s stick to the topic of Mother Mary/Aaron…

 

[swariffin]

Mughira b. Shu’ba reported: “When I came to Najran, they (the Christians of Najran) asked me: You read “O sister of Harun (Aaron)” (i. e. Mary) in the Qur’an, whereas Moses was born much before Jesus. When I came back to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) 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. (Translation of Sahih Muslim, The Book on General Behaviour (Kitab Al-Adab), Book 025, Number 5326)”

As we clearly see from the Saying (Hadith) of our beloved Prophet, this issue was brought to him before and he clearly responded to it. **The false claim made against our Prophet about him meaning that Mary was a biological sister of Aaron is clearly refuted. **

The Noble Quran talked about Aaron being Moses’s biological brother and messenger to Pharoah in Noble Verses 2:248, 4:163, 6:84, 7:122, 7:142, 7:150-151, 10:75, 10:87, 10:89, 19:28, 19:53, 20:30-35, 20:42, 20:70, 20:92-94, 21:48, 21:23, 21:45, 25:35-36, 26:13, 26:48, 28:34-35, 37:114-122 and many more…

The Noble Quran also talks about Moses being the People of Isreal’s first Messenger of GOD in Noble Verses
2:108, 2:248, 4:153, 5:20-26, 6:84, 14:8, 19:51-53, 22:44, 25:35-36, 28:3, 37:114-122, 18:60-82, 20:9-48, 27:7-12, 28:29-35, 79:15-19, 7:109-126, 10:79-82, 20:56-73, 26:38-51, 33:7, 2:53, 2:87, 2:136, 3:84, 6:91, 6:154, 7:144-145, 10:87, 11:110, 14:5, 17:2, 21:48, and may more…

The Noble Quran also talks about Jesus comming to the people of Isreal so many years after Moses and the many other Messengers of GOD that were sent to the People of Isreal in Noble Verses 3:49-51, 5:46, 5:72, 43:59, 61:6, 61:14, 4:171, 5:75, 43:59, 42:13, 4:172, 19:30, 43:64, 43:63, 3:52-54, 5:111-113, 57:27, 61:14, 61:6 and many more…

The Noble Quran also talks about Mary being the biological Mother of Jesus in Noble Verses 3:35-37, 19:22-26, 21:91, 66:12, 5:75, 21:91, 4:156, 4:171, 5:17, 5:116, 21:91, 3:42-51, 19:16-21, and many more…

So if the Noble Quran speaks clearly about Aaron being the biological brother of Moses, and speaks clearly about Jesus comming many years after Moses and the many other Messengers of GOD that were sent to the people of Isreal, and speaks clearly about Mary being the Mother of Jesus, then therefore, the Noble Quran (1) Recognizes Mary as a woman who was born long years after Aaron, and (2) When the Jews called Mary ‘O sister of Aaron…’, then meant it to be Sister of Aaron in faith only and not a biological sister.

It is clear that Mary WAS figuratively
a “O SISTER OF AAROON” - WHY?
Because both the Bible and Quran agree she was a LEVITE i.e. a member of the tribe of hereditary “cohens” or “priests” in Judaism. (All
ultimately descendants of Aaroon)

How do I know this? Mary’s cousin was Elizabeth
whom we are told “belonged to a priestly family”
(Luke 1:5, 36). See also Quran 3:35-36 (stating
Mary was descendent of priestly line of Imran).

A female descendent of the hereditary priesthood could quite properly be called a "sister of Aaroon!

No Jews ever admit that Mary was a pious person. I asked many of them. Again, no Jews in their history ever regard Mary as a pious person, so pious that she was venerated by calling her with the name of other pious person. If you believe so, please refer me to any Jewish record saying so. Remember, during Mary’s time, Islam was not existed yet.
