Quran

Summary:
According to the Quran the true religion is Islam (surrender) therefore all who have accepted religions of their time and have obeyed its commands are considered Muslims.

Many verses of the Qur'an and Prophetic traditions speak about the subject of tawassul to the awliya'. As an example, one may refer to the verses related to the sons of Ya'qub (Jacob) ('a)

Summary:

Mary is the only woman who is mentioned by name in the Quran. there is an entire chapter in the Quran entitled "Maryam" . she is mentioned 34 times in the Quran, much more than in the Bible.

However, verse (21:91) seems to refer to something more, since it indicates that God "made her and her son a sign" and not just the birth. It is striking that elsewhere the Quran again refers to Mary and Jesus as" a sign"

The Qur'an clearly says that, "There is no compulsion in the religion." (2:256) What this verse actually means is that: "There is no compulsion in (accepting) the religion (of Islam)." Why? The verse continues, "Surely the Right Path is clearly distinct from the crooked path."

The Almighty, who is the Revealer of knowledge and wisdom, states in His Qur’an:

قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلا دُعَاؤُكُمْ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا.

Say (O’ Muhammad to the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you, but for your prayers. (25:77)
