(Ali-Imran) 3 : 43
يَا مَرْيَمُ اقْنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَاسْجُدِي وَارْكَعِي مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ
“Oh Maryam! Be devoted to your Lord, and you prostrate to Him, and be obedient to Him with those who are obedient”.
Lord has taught through His Messenger: “There are four women preferred above all the women of the worlds: (1) Maryam—the daughter of Imran, (2) Khadija—the daughter of Khuvailid, (3) Fathima—the daughter of Muhammad, and (4) Asia—the woman of Pharaoh”. It is told in verses 66: 11-12: “Lord has chosen ‘the woman of Pharaoh’ and ‘Maryam’ as a role model for the believing men and believing women”. See explanation 2: 43, 152, 177, and 3: 17.
