After Maryam asks how she will have a child when no man has touched her, the Angel Gabriel/Jibril responds that this is a decree from God and the Jesus/'Isa will be a sign from God and a mercy. Maryam is then silent, accepting God's decree, which is different than Zechariah/Zakariyya who asks for a sign.

When Maryam hears the news that she will have a child, she immediately asks a question: "How can I have a child when no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?" Here question represents a theme in Qur'anic and Biblical figures asking about the divine decree. It also brings up the issue of shame and social stigma.

When the Angel first approaches Maryam, she is afraid and seeks refuge. This is similar to how other Qur'anic and Biblical figures, such as Abraham/Ibrahim, react to Angels in that they don't immediately recognize them or have questions about their intentions. This also leads to a larger question of divine communication to women and whether they are prophets.

While silence and speech are major themes in Surat Maryam, so are life and death. After Zechariah/Zakariyya's impassioned plea, the divine voice introduces his son John/Yahya who is forerunner to Jesus/'Isa. The Chapter uses almost identical phrases to describe them, specifically the idea that they born, will die and be resurrected. Maryam also uses the word of "death" right before the "life" of Jesus/'Isa. The chapter thus argues that there is cyclical pattern between life and death and that after death comes life.

This led me to the emerging field of Interreligious Studies and to the new book Interreligious Studies: An Introduction by Rachel Mikva.
