Fatwa No: 156243

Question

Salaam 'alaykum. Pls what is the historical difference between 'Imran the father of Prophet Musa, & the father of Maryam

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

The interval between Imraan the father of Prophet Moosa (Moses) and Imraan the father of Maryam (Mary), may Allaah exalt her mention, was 1,800 years as mentioned by some interpreters of the Quran. However, we have not come across any evidence that proves it or disproves it.

Allaah Knows best.
