Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to clarify the concept of divine honoring of women and to derive the educational implications from the story of Maryam (peace be upon her) in the Holy Qur’an. The study employed the inductive-deductive approach based on the Qur’an by collecting the verses related to the honoring of women in the story of Maryam (peace be upon her), analyzing them in light of Qur’anic exegesis books, and deriving the educational implications embedded within them. The study reached the following findings: divine honoring of women is based on piety, worship, chastity, and truthfulness, rather than gender, lineage, or wealth. the forms of divine honoring granted to Maryam were multiple and diverse, including: the double selection, miraculous provision, angelic address, Qur’anic defense, immortalization of her name, presenting her as a role model for believers, and commanding her to devote herself to worship.the educational implications are comprehensive and integrated, including: building personality upon worship, steadfastness during trials, chastity, balancing reliance upon Allah with taking practical means, and honoring motherhood.Islam presents the righteous woman as a universal model of faith that transcends the boundaries of time and place, as reflected in the interpretations of Ibn Kathir, Al-Sa ‘di, and Ibn Taymiyyah..
