She holds a singularly exalted place in Islam as the only woman named in the Qur'an, which refers to her seventy times and explicitly identifies her as the greatest of all women. Ustadha Maryam spoke at a women's retreat about defining womanhood as a Muslim woman.

According to the Quran, divine grace surrounded Mary from birth, and, as a young woman, she received a message from God through the archangel Gabriel that God had chosen her, purified her, and had preferred her above all "the women of the worlds." This event, according to the same narrative, was followed by the annunciation of a child who was to be miraculously conceived by her through the intervention of the Divine spirit while she was still virgin, whose name would be Jesus and who would be the "anointed one," the Promised Messiah.
