AmramʿImrān/'EmrānAmramIslamic tradition holds both Amram and Joachim are named the same. Although Islamic studies of the beginning of the 20th century tended to note genealogical discrepancies, in more recent Islamic Studies of the 21st century the general consensus is that the Quran does not make a genealogical error but instead makes use of typology.[2] This is supported by the figurative speech of the Quran and the Islamic tradition, as words like "sister" and "daughter" can indicate extended kinship, descendance or spiritual affinity.[3][4][5][6]Exodus 6:20Quran 3:33

SaintJoachim.jpgJoachim or HeliʿImrānYehoyaqimIslamic tradition holds both Joachim and Amram are named the same, though the Quran only refers to Joachim with the name of Amram and calls Mary the sister of Aaron,[10] Muslims see this as connecting the two women from two prophetic households in spirit. This question was actually reported to have been put across to Muhammad to which he replied: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them".[11]Luke 3:23
