Mary in the Qur'an
Friend of God, Virgin, Mother
«‘Mary in the Qurʾan is a splendid example of comparative theology at its best: clear and straightforward, dutifully attentive to history and to textual evidence, respectful of both communities’ distinctive sensitivities, yet constructive in its conclusions today.’ – Francis Clooney, Harvard University; ‘Mary in the Qurʾan offers a groundbreaking example of how to engage in comparative theology in a reciprocal way. Through their mutual interrogation and creative collaboration, Muna Tatari and Klaus von Stosch succeed in shedding significant new light on the role and meaning of the figure of Mary in both the Muslim and the Christian traditions.’ – Catherine Cornille, Boston College»
An entire chapter (surah) of the Qur'an bears her name. She is the only woman mentioned by
name in the Qur'an-indeed, her name appears more frequently than that of either Muhammad or
Jesus. From the earliest times to the present day, Mary has continued to be held in high regard by
Christians and Muslims alike.

An entire chapter (surah) of the Qur'an bears her name. She is the only woman mentioned by
name in the Qur'an-indeed, her name appears more frequently than that of either Muhammad or
Jesus. From the earliest times to the present day, Mary has continued to be held in high regard by
Christians and Muslims alike. And yet Mary has also been the cause of much rancour and tension
between these two world religions. In this groundbreaking study, Muna Tatari and Klaus von
Stosch painstakingly reconstruct the picture of Mary that is presented in the Qur'an and show how
veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church intersects and interacts with
the testimony of the Qur'an. Their sensitive and scholarly treatise is an important contribution to
constructive interfaith dialogue in the 21st century.
