I Analyzed 47 Quran Verses About Mary. Islam Just Proved Catholicism
Did Islam just accidentally prove the Catholic Church right about Mary? When the Quran names her directly 34 times and references her approximately 70 times total—including as mother of Jesus and daughter of Imran—when it dedicates an entire chapter to her, when Islamic teaching affirms her perpetual virginity and unique holiness, something remarkable emerges.
๐ I analyzed 47 Quranic verses about Mary and what I discovered challenges everything you thought you knew about Christian divisions. While Protestants often dismiss Catholic Marian devotion as unbiblical, the Quran—written six centuries after Christ—preserves truths about Mary that the early Church always believed. Today we're examining how Islamic scripture inadvertently testifies to the Catholic understanding of the Blessed Virgin Mary and why this matters for defending the faith.
