1- Is it true that Lady Maryam would receive food and fruit from heaven? 2- How is it possible for such things to come down from heaven while Allah (swt) says in the Quran that heavenly things are forever and immortal? If we accept that things can actually come down from heaven, another question will rise, and that is: Is it possible for heaven’s residents to come down as well?


Considering the clues and evidence in Quranic verses and hadiths, Lady Marayam’s food would come straight from Allah (swt) and heaven without the mediation of any material thing or person from this world. What Islamic teachings tell us is that those in heaven will remain there forever, enjoying its blessings and pleasures which are always renewing, thus making them eternal and never-ending.

Nevertheless, whenever a blessing is used, it is actually ending, keeping this in mind, technically, one can't consider them eternal, despite the fact that they are always renewing and coming back after consumption.

On this basis, firstly, Lady Maryam’s use of heavenly food and fruit isn't in conflict with their eternity and secondly, there is a chance of her food coming from a barzakhi heaven, not the famous heaven that exists in the hereafter. Also, one must note that returning to this world from a barzakhi heaven is possible, and it is only when this world ends and the fate of everyone becomes clear that no one can come back to this world (because there will no longer be a world).
