                 We have instructed man to be good
             to his parents. His mother bore him with
             difficulty and with difficulty gave birth
             to him; and his bearing and weaning
             take thirty months. Then when he
             achieves his full strength and reaches

             forty, he says,  "My Lord, keep me
             thankful for the blessing You
             bestowed on me and on my par-
             ents, and keep me acting rightly,

             pleasing You. And make my
             descendants righteous. I have
             repented to You and I am truly one
             of the Muslims." (Qur'an, 46:15)

                 Mary     (pbuh)     became
             pregnant by the will of God
             and was patient in the face of all

             the difficulties she encountered
             during that pregnancy; because
             of that fortitude and her devo-
             tion to God she has been made
             superior to all the women of
             the world:

                 And when the angels said,

                 "Mary, God has chosen you
                 and purified you. He has
                 chosen you over all other
                 women." (Qur'an, 3:42)
