Mary consented to doing the will of God and abstaining from sin, with Gabriel vouching for her purity:
>”And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her” (Luke 1:38)
>”Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 1:19-20)
For the Quran citation:
>”And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Isa, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.” (5:116)
Basically (((Isa))) is saying him and his mother were not to be worshiped with (((Allah))), implying that there were heretics around in the time of Muhammad who actually DID worship Mary as God. Apostolics don’t actually worship Mary, and I made it clear in the OP that we pray WITH Mary, not to her. Yes, it’s a very formal kind of request that we ask of her, but what do you expect we say to a queen?
