The answer

Maryam is mentioned in the Quran more than thirty times to link her story with a theological concept held by Christians. The explicit mention of her name is more profound in argumentation, and this is to strengthen Islam's case against their claim that Jesus is the son of God, and to affirm her servitude and absolve her from what the Jews said. Furthermore, the repeated mention of her, attributed to the mother, reinforces the Muslim belief that Jesus had no father. Maryam, peace be upon her, was distinguished by a unique particularity and high status; Allah chose her and purified her above the women of all nations, because of the clear signs involved in her conception and delivery of Jesus.
