Answer:

Who is maria and maryam

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Q-1: Who is Mariya?

In addition to his eleven wives, the Messenger of Allah (saws) had two slave girls, one of whom was Hadrat Mariya Kibtiyah (r.a.). She is the mother of the Prophet’s son, Ibraheem, who died in infancy.

Q-2: Who is Mariam?

The noble and chaste Hadrat Maryam is the mother of the Noble Messenger of Allah, Hadrat Isa (Jesus) ibn Maryam.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
