☪️ Opening Quranic Context
آل عمران — Āl ‘Imrān : 42 وَإِذْ قَالَتِ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ إن ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصْطَفَىك عَلىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٤٢
And ˹remember˺ when the angels said, “O Mary! Surely Allah has selected you, purified you, and chosen you over all women of the world.”
⚠️ The Issue of Mary’s Perpetual Virginity
Key Claim Many efforts were made to change or complete the texts (twist the texts), and this is mainly due to the desire to try to prove the perpetual virginity of the Virgin.

🚨 A Woman Bishop: Mary’s Virginity Is a Myth

❓ Main Question
The Central Question What is the truth of the relationship between Umm al-Nour and Joseph the Carpenter?
A question that we will all search for an answer to, God willing, from the heart of the Holy Bible itself.
The Question on the Table Was the marriage of the elderly Joseph the Carpenter to Umm al-Nour — who was 12 years old — only for the sake of taking care of her and protecting her?
Or did the matter go beyond that, especially after the birth of the alleged child / Lord Jesus?
🕌 Islam’s Position Regarding Mary and Jesus
Preface First, it is necessary to note and remind of the following:
Point 1 Islam looked at the Virgin Mary and her son Jesus, peace be upon them, with reverence and respect.
Point 2 It acquitted her of the accusation of adultery that the Jews threw at her.
📖 Maryam : 20
“She said, ‘How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I am not unchaste?’”
📖 An-Nisā’ : 156
“And because of their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander.”
📖 Āl ‘Imrān : 42
“And when the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds.’”
📖 Āl ‘Imrān : 43
“O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow.”
📖 Al-Mā’idah : 75
“The Messiah, the son of Mary, was no more than a messenger; other messengers passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They both used to eat their food. See how We make clear to them the verses; then see how they are deluded.”
Point 3 The subject is to expose the deception of priests and missionary websites to the common Christians.
📜 Matthew 1:25 and the Claim of a Formal Marriage
📖 Matthew 1:25
“And he did not know her until she had given birth to her firstborn son. And he called his name Jesus.”
The Deception of Priests Christian priests and their websites deceive the Christian masses by saying:

“The relationship of the elderly Joseph the Carpenter with the Mother of God was only a formal marital relationship.”
For your info This scan is connected to the claim about the “formal marital relationship” explanation.
Response Missionaries and their Arabic-speaking priests can deceive Arab Christians — but not non-Arabs!
Evidence: DLNT — Disciples’ Literal New Testament Matthew 1:25 | DLNT — Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For your info This scan is used for the DLNT / Disciples’ Literal New Testament reference connected to Matthew 1:25.
From the Margin Notes The phrase “And he was not knowing her (he did not know her)” carries a sexual meaning.
🔍 The Meaning of “Know Her”
Conclusion Texts are clearer than the sun describing the relationship between the old man Joseph the Carpenter and the Mother of God!
📖 Matthew 1:25
For your info This scan is placed here because the article is arguing from the wording of Matthew 1:25.
📖 Genesis 24:16
“And the girl was very beautiful to look at, and a virgin; no man had known her.”
📖 1 Kings 1:4
“And the girl was very beautiful, so she was the king’s nurse and served him, but the king did not know her.”
🌍 NTV Spanish Translation
The Spanish NTV Reveals What Was Hidden Returning to the text of Matthew 1:25, the Spanish translation of NTV revealed the hidden!
The text says very clearly that Joseph the Carpenter had intercourse — within the framework of marriage — with the Mother of God after the birth of the child / the Lord Jesus!
Translation Name Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV)
For Those Who Still Doubt For those who still have an atom of doubt in their hearts:

📚 William MacDonald and the Encyclopedia of the Bible
William MacDonald — Bible Commentator The text of Matthew 1:25 invalidates the teaching that the Mother of God is virginal — and even provides evidence that Joseph the Carpenter was actually married to the Mother of God, which also produced children.
For your info This scan is used beside the William MacDonald argument.
Encyclopedia of the Bible — Letter M: Mary The natural conclusion from some texts of the New Testament is that Joseph the Carpenter and the Mother of Light were a married couple and had children who were also brothers of (the Lord) Jesus.
For your info This scan is placed directly beside the Encyclopedia of the Bible claim.
🤰 The Pregnancy While Espoused to Joseph
Context to Note The pregnancy of the Mother of Light from the Holy Spirit took place while she was already espoused to the ninety-year-old man Joseph — whose heart was consumed by the fire of doubt.
📖 Matthew 1:18–19
“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: When his mother Mary had been espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.”
📖 Benjamin Benkerton’s Commentary
“Betrothed to Joseph before they came together” (v. 18) — Among the Israelites, an engagement was a marriage without a meeting. A wedding party was held shortly afterward to complete the marriage (see Genesis 24:55; Judges 14:8).
📖 William MacDonald’s Commentary
Even Joseph did not know the truth about Mary’s situation. He was probably angry with his fiancée for two reasons:
- Because she had apparently betrayed him
- Because he was personally accused of being involved in the affair, despite his innocence
Then his love for Mary and his desire for justice led him to decide to break off the engagement by secret divorce — wanting to avoid the public shame that usually accompanies such a situation.
⚖️ Final Argument
The Logical Conclusion The Holy Spirit — God — married the Mother of Light and had a physical relationship with her while she was already married to a second husband — the ninety-year-old man, Joseph the Carpenter.
The Question That Follows Doesn’t all of this put the Mother of Light in the category of adultery?
This Is What the Quran Says — and It Did Justice to the Virgin Mary:
An-Nisā’ : 156 “And because of their disbelief and their saying against Mary a great slander.”
