*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 41:*
قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَل لِّي آيَةً قَالَ آيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكَارِ
He said: "O my Lord! Make a sign for me." Allah said: "Your sign is that you shall not speak to mankind for three days except with signals. And remember your Lord much (by praising Him again and again), and glorify (Him) in the afternoon and in the morning."

*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 42:*
وَإِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
And (remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you (from polytheism and disbelief), and chosen you above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of her lifetime)."
*COMMENTARY*
Mary the mother of Jesus was unique, in that she gave birth to a son by a special miracle, without the intervention of the customary physical means. This of course does not mean that she was more than human, any more than that her son was more than human. She had as much need to pray to Allāh as anyone else. The Christian dogma, in all sects except the Unitarian, holds that Jesus was Allāh and the son of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). The worship of Mary became the practice the practice in the Roman Catholic Church, which calls Mary the Mother of Allāh. This seems to have been endorsed by the Council of Ephesus in 431, in the century before Muhammad was born to sweep away the corruption of the church of Christ. For 'ālamīn as meaning all nations.
