Hazrat Marium (A.S)

Hazrat Marium (A.S) was the daughter of Hazrat Imran and Hannah Bint e Faqud, and belongs to the generation of Hazrat Dawood (A.S). Mother of Hazrat Marium (A.S), vowed that she will devote her child in the service of Allah and so she did. She entrusted her daughter Hazrat Marium under the custody of worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque. And Quran tells us that Hazrat Marium (A.S) was raised under the guidanship of Hazrat Zakriya (A.S) who was also an uncle of Hazrat Marium (A.S).

Allah says in the Quran

So, her Lord accepted her, a good acceptance, and made her grow, a good growth, and made Zakariyya her guardian. Whenever Zakariyya visited her at the place of worship, he found food with her. He said: “Maryam, from where did you have this?” She said: “It is from Allah. Surely, Allah gives whom He wills without measure.” (37)
(Surah Al-Imran, Verse: 37)

Hazrat Marium was the Beautiful woman inside out since from childhood. Allah talks about her purity, innocence, prayerful nature, and virtuousness in Quran.

And when the angels said: “O Maryam, Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you over the women of all the worlds. (42) O Maryam, stand in devotion to your Lord and prostrate yourself and bow down in Ruku‘ with those who bow.” (43) 
(Surah Al-Imran, Verse: 42-43)

And (remember) her who protected her chastity (that is, Maryam (A.S)). So, We blew in her (a life) through Our Spirit, and made her and her son (‘Isa (A.S)) a sign for all the worlds. (91) 
(Surah Al-Anbya,Verse: 91)

She kept herself to one room for the worship of Allah

in an other verse Allah says:
So, her Lord accepted her, a good acceptance, and made her grow, a good growth, and made Zakariyya her guardian. Whenever Zakariyya visited her at the place of worship, he found food with her. He said: “Maryam, from where did you have this?” She said: “It is from Allah. Surely, Allah gives whom He wills without measure.” (37) 
(Surah Al-Imran, Verse: 37)

She has the strongest bond with Allah, She replied, "It is from Allah" . Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account.

Remember the time) when the angels said: “O Maryam, Allah gives you the good news of a Word from Him whose name is Masih ‘Isa , the son of Maryam (the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary) a man of status in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those who are near (to Allah). (45) 
(Surah Al-Imran, Verse: 45)

Allah explained the disownment of Hazrat Marium (A.S) by the type of miracles which the minds of those people understood. Because their minds were prevailed by the concreteness.

Whereas Allah explained the disownment of Hazrat Ayesha (RA) by scientific testimonies, as the era was based on scientific progression.

As a religious scholar and as a leadership of Bait Al Muqaddas, the Hazrat Zakriya (A.S) is that important personality whom Allah has mentioned in the Quran. Other personalities are not found in any documented narration.
