    • Christianity teaches love, forgiveness, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
    • There are various denominations within Christianity, such as Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy, each with its own beliefs and practices.

    Mother of Isa (Jesus) and the Virgin Mary (Maryam):

    • In Christianity, Mary is venerated as the Virgin Mary, and it is believed that she gave birth to Jesus through a miraculous virgin birth.
    • In Islam, Maryam is highly regarded as a righteous woman and the mother of a great prophet, Jesus, whom Muslims refer to as Isa.

    Death and Ascension of Jesus (Isa):

    • The ascension of Jesus refers to his departure from Earth and his return to heaven. It is a significant event in Christian belief, as Jesus is believed to have ascended to be with God.

    References to Surah Maryam (Chapter 19) in the Quran:

    • Surah Maryam is the 19th chapter (surah) of the Quran, and it contains references to the story of the Virgin Mary and the birth of Jesus.
