Is Mary mentioned in Surat Aal-Imran (3:33-48) the sister of Moses and Aaron, or is she Mary the mother of Christ, knowing that the period between Moses and Christ is approximately 1400 years?

The individual mentioned in the verses is Mary, daughter of Imran, the mother of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. Her mother is Hannah, daughter of Faqudh. Some people become confused due to Allah's saying: "O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother an unchaste woman."
