The story of Joseph (Yusuf) is the most cohesive narrative in the Quran (Surah 12).

The Quran contains one of the most detailed accounts of the Annunciation. The Angel Gabriel (Jibril) appears to Mary, announcing the birth of a pure son. Mary’s confusion ("How can I have a son when no man has touched me?") is mirrored exactly in the Gospel of Luke. The Islamic narrative even includes details from the Apocryphal gospels, such as Mary laboring under a palm tree—a link that shows how the Quran interacts with the broader Christian tradition of the 7th century.
