Qur’anic Manifestation of the Story of Maryam (PBUH): Unearthing Its Parallelistic Connection to Islamic Womanhood ()
ABSTRACT
A woman, to many, is God’s most complete creation. She symbolizes independence,
love, caring, gentleness and intensity in all cases. This study is a descriptive qualitative study anchored by a
feminist approach and textual analysis.
The researcher explores and analyzes special features of the feminism approach
which appear in the story of Maryam (PBUH) in the Holy Qur’an. The events of
the story are expressed in deeper thoughts and understanding to ultimately
achieve relevance to Islamic womanhood. It is found out that the story of
Maryam (PBUH) shows that Muslim women have a great role in spreading the
message of Islam. They value the importance of energizing the Arab tradition
and leadership among Arab women as viewed today. The story of Maryam (PBUH) is
a model of motherhood and purity. She also stands as the personification of a
dedicated teacher and a woman of wisdom.
