Answer 1

Answer 2

Imran is a male Arabic given name .

In Islam, Imran is the father of Mary and the grandfather of Jesus. Some believe that the Qur'an states that she decended from the Imran family, a very rich and respected family in Arabia. Imran and his unnamed wife desired a child but could not as she was barren. Imran prayed for a male child, one whom he could dedicate to the temple in Jerusalem. His prayer was answered, his wife became pregnant-but with a female child, Mary. Her parents then devoted her to a life of piety in honor of God's miracle, to be raised by her uncle Zakariya. His tomb is allegedly located in the al-Quaf district of the Omani town of Salalah.

Controversy
"Imran" is also the name attributed by the Qur'an to the father of Mary. This has led to some considering whether the Qur'an considers each Imran as the same person. The confusion comes because both Miriam, the prophetess and sister of Moses in the Bible, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, have the same translation into Arabic. The Qur'an may consider them the same person and call Imran the father of Mary because Imran is Mary's ancestor
