Mary in Islam and Christianity: The Woman Both Faiths Honor

Mary is mentioned more in the Quran than in the Bible. There's an entire chapter named for her in Islamic scripture. Both Christians and Muslims revere her as the ultimate example of purity, devotion, and surrender to God. Yet most people don't know the full scope of her story or how deeply she connects these two faiths. In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with Camille Helminski, author of The Way of Mary and co-director of The Threshold Society. Camille spent years researching Mary's life across Christian, Islamic, and Jewish traditions. Together, they explore the gaps most people never learn. Mary's mother Hannah was praying in a garden for a child. Three-year-old Mary was raised in the temple under Zachariah's guardianship. The angel's announcement. Birth by a palm tree with dates falling and a stream appearing beneath her. Jesus speaking from the cradle as his first miracle to defend his mother. They discuss Mary Magdalene, wrongly labeled a fallen woman by the Pope until 1969 despite being the first witness to resurrection. They examine Mary's appearances at Fatima, Portugal, where the town name itself honors Prophet Muhammad's daughter. Learn why the Negus of Abyssinia protected early Muslims after hearing Quranic verses about Mary and Jesus. Discover the significance of 33 across all Abrahamic traditions and why Muslims recite 33 times after prayer because of Fatima. This conversation reveals Mary as more than a religious figure. She becomes a bridge between faiths, a model of strength through suffering, and proof that unity exists when we actually know each other's stories. This is WISE Women with Daisy Khan – because every story matters. The journey ends not with what we acquire but with what we become. The qualities that sustain us through difficulty often become the very gifts we offer to the world.
