Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a significant figure in Islam for several reasons. She is considered one of the four perfected women in Islam along with Khadijah, Fatima, and Asiya. The Quran tells Mary's story, including the annunciation where the angel Gabriel tells her she will give birth to Jesus miraculously without having been touched by a man. Mary is seen as the ideal believer who submitted to God's will without question. She is praised for her chastity and piety, making her an exemplary role model for both women and all Muslims.
