The answer

Maryam (peace be upon her) was among the righteous, devout, and worshipful women. The Quran describes her with servitude, submission, and obedience to Allah. She is innocent of the polytheism of the Christians who worship her and her son, Jesus (peace be upon him). Muslims have a greater claim to Maryam because they affirm the Oneness of Allah and do not take Maryam and her son as deities. They venerate her, believe in her purity, and what has been revealed about her in the Quran, and that she and her son are a sign for all peoples. She is a criterion distinguishing between the people of faith and polytheism. Furthermore, she is among the best women of Paradise. And Jesus (peace be upon him) will disavow on the Day of Judgment the polytheism and extremism of the polytheists concerning him and his mother.
