‘Virgin Mary will marry Prophet Mohammed in heaven,’ claims Egyptian scholar, angering Christians

An Egyptian cleric has earned the ire of the country’s Christian community by claiming that the Prophet Mohammed would marry Mary, the mother of Jesus, in heaven.

Dr. Salem Abdel Galil, a scholar at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo, made the inflammatory remarks on his TV show, “Muslims are asking.”

“There were only four perfect women,” he told viewers. “Maryam [Mary], with whom it began; and Asiya, the wife of the pharaoh; and Khadija bint Khuwaylid [the first wife of the Prophet]; and Fatima the daughter of the Prophet. Peace and prayers to her and our prophet.”

“The Prophet himself pointed to the high position of Maryam. And can I belittle her position, saying it only refers to a specific time and place? No! She was chosen among the wives of both worlds. Four women were chosen with Maryam. And Maryam is the first among them! And she will be the wife of our favorite Mohammed in heaven, and she will be the first to enter heaven together with the greatest prophets. And not just with the prophets, but with the greatest prophets!”

Galil’s comments drew anger from members of Egypt’s Christian minority. Nader Soubhi, of the Christian Youth Movement for Orthodox Copts, demanded an apology.

“We Christians don’t recognize any aspect of the Virgin Mary except her sanctity, her purity and her virginity. The Virgin Mary will never lose any of these,” he said, as quoted by the liberal newspaper Elaph.

Mary is a revered figure in Islam. She is believed to have maintained her chastity all her life, and some scholars have suggested she would become the wife of the Prophet Mohammed in the afterlife. However, such a relationship is not mentioned in either the Koran or the Hadiths.

This latest controversy comes in the midst of renewed tension between Egypt’s Sunni Muslim majority and Coptic Christians, who form around 10 percent of the population. After the overthrow of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in 2013, Coptic Christians became the target of increased violence and sectarian rioting from Muslims who accused them of siding with the military.

In December 2016, a Sunday service was bombed in a Coptic Cathedral in Cairo, killing 27 people.  One of the victims was a 10-year-old girl. The Islamic State terrorist group took responsibility for the attack.
