Quran 19:98
˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed before them ! Do you ˹still˺ see any of them, or ˹even˺ hear from them the slightest sound? Quran 19:98 Surah Maryam
The Surah is named after Maryam, the mother of Isa [Jesus].
Allah’s Messenger said, “Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the perfection except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh.
And the superiority of Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.” [Bukhari 3769]
