Sura 19 Mary
98 verses. Zechariya prayed concerning his barren wife. John to be born. Unique name. Father old but given asked for sign of being unable to speak for three days. Mary withdrew from he family and received an angel to announce gift of a holy son. Miracle from God. She retired to a remote place. In pain she cried out beneath a palm. God told her to shake the tree and get ripe dates. Mary called sister of Aaron.The baby spoke from the cradle. Peace is on me the day I was born, the day I die and the day I shall be raised up again. Does not befit the majesty of God that he beget a son. Abraham told his father not to serve satan. Chased Abraham away for hating his gods. Threatened stoning. Gave Abraham the prophets Isaac and Jacob. Moses, apostle and prophet, given brother Aaron as prophet. Ishmael apostle and prophet. Idris (Enoch) a prophet.

Quran sura3
the family of Imram. 200 verses include stories of Imram, father of Mary and of Zachariya and John. I use the English spellings. Mary will bear a Word from Him, Christ Jesus. God creates him and Mary will give birth. He will make a clay bird miraculously come to life. He and his disciples are Muslims. People of the Book are called to worship none but God, as did Abraham who was not a Jew. Again there is reference to the covenant of the prophet but no institution or content. Muslims believe in what was revealed to the Patriarchs, Ishmael and the Tribes and in books given to Moses, Jesus and the prophets. I do not comment the other ramblings, only on that which refers to matters biblical.
