“…Grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!” Such a connection shows how Maryam could inspire an older man, and a Prophet at that, and be a model of piety for him. Maryam is indeed, as Loren Lybarger suggests, very close to the status of prophethood (Lybarger ).…”

“…In addition to the study of Surah Maryam, we can see somewhat tough annotations in Lybarger (2000), whereby he applied the theory of drama as a rhetorical tool to seek the 'structure and dynamics of the Quranic presentation of Maryam itself,' by analyzing 'the story's dramatic tensions, rhetorical objects, characterizations, characters, and intertextual allusions.' The dramatic stages, or what he called theatres in recalling Maryam's personality, were evaluated as a potential prophetess dragged into conjunction with the biblical version of Isa's mother, which in fact is not fitting the revelation as perceived by the Quran and Sunnah.…”

This paper aims at determining the virtues of Surah Maryam based on the roles of Al-Rahman through a thematic-structural analysis by following al-Nazm's theory of coherence initiated by Farahi. The approach of this method includes three structural steps: sectioning the arguments, determining potential keywords, and determining the central point that is considered the core result from this research. This scientific method applied in the Quran has been initiating a deeper sectional investigation between the verses, or among the surahs, by what is known among some Quran's experts as 'interpreting Quran with Quran' approach. Finally, there are ten virtues can be concluded from this correlation, in which one of them leads to a potential finding about the existence of an organic order in the whole Quran that takes Surah Maryam and its correlation with the word Al-Rahman as the emergence. In addition, a refined understanding about Ibrahim's foundation of faith being a subsequent central point of Surah Maryam is justified in the end of the analysis.

“…Real women can never achieve this state of purity, but they can at least try to emulate her. Second, she is venerated for her piety and her obedience as a believer (Gibb and Kramers, 1974: 327;Lybarger, 2000). She is seen as a holy receptacle of the Prophet and thus of the divine word: 'Then we breathed into it from our spirit.…”

Despite the trend of secularization, pilgrimages to sacred sites flourish. Most of the pilgrims are women and the reasons for their visits often have to do with the dynamics of women's lives. Some of the pilgrims to sites dedicated to St Mary are Muslims. This is interesting in the present political context in which lines are being redrawn between Christians and Muslims and their respective religious identities. Why would Muslims go to Marian shrines and how do they negotiate their relationship to the figure of the Virgin Mary and thereby define their gender and religious position? This article describes the experiences of Muslim pilgrims at Marian sites in Germany, Portugal and Turkey, and analyses these in terms of gender and religious identity
