Who is the mother of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him? Is she Mary, daughter of Imran, mentioned in the Holy Quran, who is also mentioned in the Holy Bible as the mother of Aaron and Moses, peace be upon them, or is she Mary the Virgin, daughter of Heli, mentioned in the Gospel?

The Quran is the book of Allah, preserved from alteration, unlike previous scriptures whose preservation Allah entrusted to the rabbis, who then altered them. There is no contradiction between what is in the Torah and the Gospel and what is in the Quran. The Quran states that the mother of Jesus is Mary, daughter of Imran, and it does not mention the mother of Moses and Aaron by name, and there is much disagreement regarding her name. More than 1500 years separate Moses and Jesus. There is no information confirming that the mother of Jesus is Mary the Virgin, daughter of Heli, and the Gospels are full of errors and contradictions.
