maryam (peace be upon her) was not jew by religion. she was following the religion of her fathers; ibrahim (abraham), isma'il (ishmael) ishaque (isaac), ya'qub (jacob) and zakariya (zachariya) who were all worshipping allah alone. she was an upright woman who had surrendered to allah and was not of the polytheists. as for the nationality, she belongs to israel i.e. jacob, the prophet of allah – peace be upon him. as for saying that she was jew as per the religion of jews in her era or saying that she was christian; this is a groundless and incorrect statement .
