Aaron in Islam

It says that he was a descendant of Ibrāhīm (Abraham)[5][failed verification] and makes it clear that both he and Moses were sent together to warn the Pharaoh about God's punishment.

The Quran says that Aaron was entrusted the leadership of Israel while Moses was up on Ṭūr Sīnāʼ (Mount Sinai) for a period of forty days.

[13][failed verification][14] The Quran then adds that Moses here lamented the sins of Israel, and said that he only had power over himself and Aaron.

Most scholars have agreed to the former perspective, and have linked Mary spiritually with the actual sister of Aaron, her namesake Miryam (Arabic: مـريم, Hebrew: מִרְיָם),[21] whom she resembled in many ways.

[23][24] According to old scholars, including Ibn Hisham, Muhammad, in particular, mentioned the beauty of Aaron when he encountered him in Heaven.

‘Ali, grieved at hearing this wicked taunt, told Muhammad what the local people were saying.
