Okay, she's got street cred because she gave birth to the Savior, but c'mon. The "best??"

Helen Keller, Anne Franke, Joan of Arc, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Marie Curie, Indira Ghandi...what about these women?

What about Karen?

I love her to. Actually the Black Madonna is Goddess Kali. She told me this.
The spiritual mother of Jesus.

I find idolatry to be a bit tacky. On the other hand, I must admit to a mild Zipporah bias along with a soft spot for Keturah.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

I love Karen. Such a free unfettered soul.

Quran has a whole chapter on Mary/Maryam, and it is fascinating. Right?

I give first five verses of the Surah/Chapter in Arabic original and its translation:
19:1
بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ ﴿۱﴾
English - Sher Ali
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
19:2
کٓہٰیٰعٓصٓ ۟﴿ۚ۲﴾
Kaf Ha Ya ‘Ain Sad.
19:3
ذِکۡرُ رَحۡمَتِ رَبِّکَ عَبۡدَہٗ زَکَرِیَّا ۖ﴿ۚ۳﴾
This is an account of the mercy of thy Lord shown to His servant, Zachariah.
19:4
اِذۡ نَادٰی رَبَّہٗ نِدَآءً خَفِیًّا ﴿۴﴾
When he called upon his Lord, a secret calling,
19:5
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیۡ وَہَنَ الۡعَظۡمُ مِنِّیۡ وَاشۡتَعَلَ الرَّاۡسُ شَیۡبًا وَّلَمۡ اَکُنۡۢ بِدُعَآئِکَ رَبِّ شَقِیًّا ﴿۵﴾
He said, ‘My Lord, the bones have indeed waxed feeble in me, and the head glistens with hoariness, but never, my Lord, have I been unblessed in my prayer to Thee.

Quran mentions that every righteous person has to go through a spiritual state which is Maryami (Marylike)-state and then can go forward in spiritual progress:
66:12
وَضَرَبَ اللّٰہُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوا امۡرَاَتَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ ۘ اِذۡ قَالَتۡ رَبِّ ابۡنِ لِیۡ عِنۡدَکَ بَیۡتًا فِی الۡجَنَّۃِ وَنَجِّنِیۡ مِنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَعَمَلِہٖ وَنَجِّنِیۡ مِنَ الۡقَوۡمِ الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۱۲﴾
English - Sher Ali
And Allah sets forth for those who believe the example of the wife of Pharaoh when she said, ‘My Lord! build for me a house with Thee in the Garden; and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from the wrongdoing people;’
66:13 وَمَرۡیَمَ ابۡنَتَ عِمۡرٰنَ الَّتِیۡۤ اَحۡصَنَتۡ فَرۡجَہَا فَنَفَخۡنَا فِیۡہِ مِنۡ رُّوۡحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتۡ بِکَلِمٰتِ رَبِّہَا وَکُتُبِہٖ وَکَانَتۡ مِنَ الۡقٰنِتِیۡنَ ﴿٪۱۳﴾
English - Sher Ali
And the example of Mary, the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded her private parts — so We breathed into him of Our Spirit — and she fulfilled in her person the words of her Lord and His Books and was one of the obedient.

But Mary was not mother of the Hellenist-Pauline-Christianity's god , one understands, please. Right?
