I was watching a CNN report on the two Marys well one hazrat Marrium n then other Mary Magdalene n how popes have elavated her image to a whole new level and neglected the other one n so on.. I was wondering does Quran says anything about her or is there evidence that Jesus didnt marry at all? Could it be that he did get married but it was just never talked about in the Quran? But I think it talks about almost every prophet’s wives. And if Mary Magdalene didnt exist, where exactly does all the stuff come from? the documents they are talking about? when exactly did she come into the picture?
Re: Mary Magdalene
Ahadeeth tell us that Hadhrat Isa:as: will marry after his second coming to this world. And that is an Islamic belief.
Re: Mary Magdalene
oh I know that but does it say he wasnt married? who exactly is she then n where did she come from?
Re: Mary Magdalene
For what I know, there is no mention of such personality in Islamic Literature, Quran and Ahadeeth per se.
Wallah-O-Alam!
Re: Mary Magdalene
I thought there was mention of some prostitute that converted due to him ?
Re: Mary Magdalene
Where is it in Quran. Please, provide the reference. ![]()
Re: Mary Magdalene
im asking you, dork
Re: Mary Magdalene
so much for name calling.. anyway There is no such thing mentioned in Quran for sure.
Re: Mary Magdalene
hehehehe The Da Vinci Code....mary magdalene has been elevated due to Dan Brown...its just Brown's theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene...the book was good though
Re: Mary Magdalene
^ yeah, she was considered one of the disciples.
In the last supper, if you look at the pic below, notice the parts I have highlighted. She is there, however none of the disciples are noted to be FEMALE! Thus there is a guy pointing to her neck, and has a knife in his other hand.
Interesting eh? However this is from the DaVinci's Code...

Re: Mary Magdalene
^ What's circled in that painting?
Re: Mary Magdalene
She was a prostitue that repented and became a woman of God after confessing her many sins. She was held as an example of God's forgiveness through her belief and repentance. Since there is nothing in the Bible about Jesus marrying her, then I believe it didn't happen. Just like I wouldn't presume that something not specifically stated in the Quran happened (for example, your prophet having an affair sorry, he was already married, couldn't use that, excuse the example, but trying to provide a comparison along the same lines as saying our Messiah was married to a former prostitute).
Re: Mary Magdalene
Im sure I read somewhere (sorry it was along time ago and therefore I cant give specific details) that she may be mentioned in the Dead sea scrolls, this is something that dan brown picked up on too and has mentioned in the book.
perhaps there is more info about this on the web etc
Re: Mary Magdalene
I am not saying that he was, i am just wondering if the Quran says anything about it because it has alot of history..hes our prophet too n i wouldnt disprespect any of em.
hmm lazy dazy nothing really from the Islamic prespective
Re: Mary Magdalene
Tikhi Jalebi - I know you wern't disrepecting Him and I wasn't attacking you, I'm sorry if it seemed like I was, I really didn't want to sound like that. I was just trying to find a way of saying how it is from the perspective of a Christian.
Re: Mary Magdalene
Dan Brown with his book The Da Vinci Code has elevated a belief that Mary Magdalane married Jesus and that they had a kid and so on… In Islam there is no such belief…As far as my knowledge is concerned she isnt even mentioned in the Holy Quran (please let me know if i am wrong) She is mentioned in the Bible though…as being one of the disciples who were following Jesus around, he had cured her like many others from sickness & evil spirits and its said in the Bible that seven demons had come out of her.
As far as Da Vinci’s portrait of the Last supper is concerned …it can be termed as a flight of his imagination…i dont see any logical reason for people to believe in it.
Whats interesting though is the fact that the complaints from the catholic church about the book started coming in after nearly 20 million copies of the novel were sold and people were going around with the book in hand following the clues on the street of Paris, did the Vatican decide that this book should not be read and should be shunned
I guess they were waiting for the movie to be finalized. .
Infact a British Cathedral has just ordered investigation of the claims made in Dan Brown’s book saying that it seems to have raised a lot of objections and is being termed as anti christian. He is said to have based his book on myths that date back to the medieval times
I believe Dan Brown’s novel should be treated as what it is…a piece of fiction…There is no proof at all on any of the claims being true…
What the book has done though is that the sales of his previous 3 novels which didn’t do too well when they were published , have gone up.
…i think i should spend more time cooking up conspiracy theory…i just might strike gold ![]()
His next book is a followup to The Da Vinci Code (predictable i guess…who wouldnt want to cash on the craze thats still on even after 2 years) and will be about the freemasons. ![]()
Re: Mary Magdalene
That painting is not the original one. I have studied the paintings related to Bible stories, and this seems to be an alteration.
Re: Mary Magdalene
i read da vinci code a while ago but when a supposedly reliable channel airs a program like that u do start to wonder but thanx I guess theres nothing...I will add this to my list of questions to ask Allah when i get to heaven :D
Re: Mary Magdalene
Angels4ever, totally agree with you.....
he got most of his info from a book published about 30 years ago which contained the original conspiracy theory.
Tikhi Jalebi, Im sorry I have no info re The Quran however the reason I mentioned the dead sea scrolls because they were written tho thousand odd years ago give or take a few years) and they hadnt been altered or ammended... and therefore may give you a clearer indictaion of who she was etc.
Re: Mary Magdalene
With the revelation of this book via the prophet Danny, everyone is now a conspiracy theorist.
People, the book wasn’t even any good ![]()
