n the Qur’an, there is a chapter called “Aal Imran” — The Family of Imran. It highlights the story of a family specially chosen by God, a lineage marked by purity, devotion, and divine favor.

The Qur’an says:

“Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of Imran over all people.”
(Qur’an 3:33)

This family includes some of the most honored figures known across religious traditions: Mary (Maryam), her son Jesus (Isa), and their righteous ancestors.

But what makes their story remarkable in the Qur’an is not just their closeness to God, but their submission to Him. Mary is described as pure, devoted, and chosen above all women of the world. Jesus is honored as a mighty messenger of God — born miraculously, without a father, by God’s command, just like Adam was created without parents.

The Qur’an clarifies their role without exaggeration or denial:

Jesus is not God, nor the son of God

He is a prophet, servant, and word from God — a sign for the world.

The message of Aal Imran is clear:

True honor is not through bloodline alone, but through belief, purity, and surrender to the One true God.

For seekers of truth, this chapter is a call to look again at the stories they may know — but through the lens of divine revelation unaltered by time or human hands.
