Security of Mary (peace be upon her)

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

ذَٰلِكَمِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلَٰمَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ 44 

44.  This is of the tidings of things hidden. We reveal it unto thee (Muhammad), “Thou wast not present with them when they threw their pens (to know) which of them should be the guardian of Mary, nor wast thou present with them when they quarreled (thereupon).

44.  Zaalika  min  ‘ambaaa-‘il  gaybi  nuuhiihi  ‘ilayk.  Wa  maa  kunta  ladayhim  ‘iz  yulquuna  ‘aqlaamahum-  ‘ayyuhum  yakfulu  Maryam.  Wa  maa  kunta  ladayhim  ‘iz  yakh-tasimuun.

Commentary

In this verse, Allah Almighty has described in corroboration of the claim of Prophet-hood in respect of the Messenger of Islam, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). “We have taught him, these entire past happenings which the Last Prophet (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) has been causing to hear the people. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has absolutely not invented them himself. Its proof is that, apparently the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is totally illiterate. He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did never attend company of any person who believed in one of the previous inspired Scriptures of Allah Almighty, so that he might know from them about these occurrences. Moreover, suppose! If he would have remained with them, then you may know that those people had also not the correct knowledge. They had fallen in whims worship. They had changed the correct incidents. So it is clear that these entire facts, for instance; to vow the mother of Mary, birth of Mary, acceptance of petition by Allah Almighty, fostering and security of Mary, supplication of Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him), birth of John, glad tidings regarding Jesus Christ (peace be upon them) etc. How these entire facts might be known by the Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) without the source of the revelation from Allah Almighty”?

After adducing the above-mentioned proof in favor of Messenger-hood of Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), Allah Almighty has begun again the description of Mary (peace be upon her).

 Mary (peace be upon her) was accepted in vow. Then she was sent for the duty of theTemple of Jerusalem. Now there was a problem regarding her goodly growth. It was settled that lot should be drawn for her guardianship. The form of lot was proposed that all the attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem should leave their own pens (with which they used to write Torah) in to the flowing water. Whose pen turns towards the direction of coming water, he would be guardian of Mary. Therefore, it was done so. The pen of Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) did not flow towards the direction of flowing water but it changed its direction and returned. So responsibility regarding growth of Mary was given to him (peace be upon them). Zachariah (peace be upon him) was really a well learned and one versed in religious matters, and he (peace be upon him) was also maternal uncle of Mary (peace be upon them). Consequently, the Right reached the Rightful with the Will of God Almighty. 

God Almighty recognized again that Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was not present at that time when the attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem were leaving their pens into the water for taking decision regarding a guardian for Mary (peace be upon her). But in spite of it, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) accrued this knowledge by means of the Revelation. Even after this argument of Allah Almighty, those people who deny the Messenger-hood of Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they went astray, they have lost the Straight Path. Severe threat is for them. It is clear evident from this verse that Holy Qur’an is not the collection of stories and tales. It is the Book for Guidance and which incidents and facts are written in It, those are for manifesting of its purpose.

وَإِذْ قَالَتِ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُيَٰمَرْيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصْطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 42

42.  And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.      43.  O Mary! Be obedient to thy Lord, prostrate thyself and bow with those who bow (in worship).

42.  Wa  ‘iz  qaalatil-malaaa-‘ikatu  yaa-Maryamu  ‘innAllaahas-tafaaki  wa  tah-haraki  wastafaaki  ‘alaa  nisaaa-‘il-‘aalamiin.       43.  Yaa-Maryamuqnutii  li-Rabbiki  wasjudii  warka-‘ii  ma-‘ar-raaki-‘iin.

Commentary

‘As-tafaaki – (you are chosen), besides choosing; it also means liking and selecting. The word Mustafaa has also come out of it, which means chosen and selected.

Holy Qur’aan does not verify only past Scriptures and Prophets (peace be upon them), but it confuted strongly also the misunderstandings which were born about them (Heavenly Books and Prophets) and the disbelievers had accused and charged falsely against them.

The Children of Israel used to slander about the birth of Jesus Christ, his mother (peace be upon them), other persons of their family and likewise in connection with their teachings. Holy Qur’an refuted all of them. Therefore, it commands that:

Allah Almighty said to Mary by means of His Angels (peace be upon them) that He has chosen her to bestow His blessings and favors. He has accepted her (peace be upon her) in His dedication and made her pure, and has preferred her above all the women of creation. For example that, “You will bring forth the Prophet (peace be upon them) likewise Jesus Christ without being touched by any male person. This beauty has not been given to any other woman of the entire world.

Then Allah Almighty commanded to Mary (peace be upon her), “While you have been given such higher grade and honor, you should be obedient to your Lord, prostrate yourself and bow with those who bow in worship”.

These verses manifest that Allah Almighty specifies the person for His favor and bounty to whom He wills. He sends His blessings upon him/her and bestows preference over others. The mankind should worship their Lord, bow themselves before Him and bow along with those who bow.

It is the best way of being grateful to Allah Almighty. He likes very much the contribution and submission of His servants. The person who thanks One God (Allah Almighty) on His blessings, He sends more blessings upon him/her.

Commentary

When glad tidings was given to Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) that a righteous son would be born in his house, he (peace be upon him) was much surprised and said, “Apparent causes about the birth of a son do not exist, old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren. How can the son be born”?

Allah Almighty commanded that He is not needy of the causes. He does what He wills.

When Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) relied on it, he requested, “O my Lord! Tell me any token with which I may know that my wife will bring forth a son”. Allah Almighty described, “Token of this glad tidings is that you will not speak with the people for three days except by signs. So whenever you feel this condition and your tongue remembers sincerely your Lord much, then understand it that offspring is near to be born”. Which token was told by Allah Almighty, that had biggest excellence i.e. that was a token as a sign and worship of Allah Almighty as adoration. That is to say: on one side that became cause of information (about glad tidings of the son) to Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him), and on the other side that became source of Allah’s prayer and gratitude. Along with it Allah Almighty urged Zachariah (peace be upon him) to praise (Him) in the early hours of night and morning in these days, and remain engaged in mentioning His Praise and Chasteness.

Allah Almighty is the Cause of causes. He is the Master over the entire universe. He can do within a moment whatsoever He desires. He is not needy of any cause. Therefore, the mankind should have faith in the Power of Allah Almighty instead of keeping in view the apparent causes; and produce his every longing in His Court. If we shall depend only on our efforts and strength, then it will be not only going astray, but in case of failure, we shall be disappointed very much, result of which is suicide.

Supplication of Zachariah

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

38.  Then Zachariah prayed unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Bestow upon me of Thy Bounty goodly offspring. Lo! Thou art the Hearer of Prayer.    39.  And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: Allah giveth thee glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John, (who cometh) to confirm a Word from Allah, lordly, chaste, a Prophet of the righteous.

Commentary

Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) used to grieve in heart looking at the condition of His (peace be upon Him) nation and think, “Nobody seems to be the Heir of that Knowledge of Prophet-hood which is a specified thing of the family of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) in the entire nation at this time. Will these people be deprived of it after Me (peace be upon Him)?” He had no child in his house. His wife was barren and he had become old. He (peace be upon Him) used to pray always, “O Allah! Appoint someone heir of my knowledge”.

Prayer of Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) was accepted. One day he (peace be upon him) was standing in His (peace be upon Him) sanctuary for worship of Allah Almighty. An angel (peace be upon him) called him and told, “Allah Almighty gives you glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John.” The Angel (peace be upon him) of Allah Almighty also described following characteristics of that blessed child:

• He (peace be upon him) will confirm and verify the Words from (orders of) Allah Almighty.

• He (peace be upon him) will be lordly and chaste.

• And he (peace be upon him) will be a Prophet, chaste and righteous.

It will be known from these verses that wish of children is a natural matter. Allah Almighty accepts the supplications which come out from the heart, and His pious servants pray for good children.

37.  And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Surely Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.

Commentary

Zakariyyaa – (Zachariah (peace be upon him) was a Prophet of Allah Almighty. He was husband of the mother’s sister of Mary (maternal uncle). After the death of Imran, (the father of Mary) Zachariah (peace be upon him) became chief of the nation.

‘Al-  Mihraaba – (the sanctuary), an asylum, a separate place for somebody’s living alone for worship. Mihraab of Masjid (Mosque) is also called by this name because Imam (the spiritual leader) stands alone in front of all the people separately as a leader of them for prayer.

Although female was not accepted to attend the temple (haikal), however Allah Almighty accepted the prayer of Mary’s mother and put this matter in the hearts of attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem (Bait ul Muqaddas) that they should accept this girl contrary to common rules. When dissention arose among the Haikal (the Temple) about Mary’s sustenance, then a cast was drawn and the cast came out in the name of Zachariah (peace be upon him).

Allah Almighty caused to grow Mary (peace be upon her) unusually respecting spiritual, literary, corporeal and moral. Zachariah (peace be upon him) became her guardian. He tried his best in her training. When Mary rose a little, a separate sanctuary was specified near the place of worship for her living. Mary (peace be upon her) used to remain there busy in worship.

Zachariah (peace be upon him) used to come there many times daily. Whenever he went there, he saw in the sanctuary different kinds of food and fruit, and perplexed that by whom these things are being delivered to Mary. Therefore, he asked Mary, “O Mary! Who gives this food to you? She answered: It is from Allah Almighty. Allah gives without stint to whom He wills by means of the unknown sources about which nobody can think.

Commentary

‘Imra-‘atu  ‘Imraana – (the wife of Imran), her name was Hunnah bint e Faaquuz. She had made a vow unto Allah Almighty according to the custom of her time that, which offspring was in her belly, she would set it free in the name of Allah Almighty. It meant, “That the child will engage in the worship of Allah Almighty only and serve the Church always being free from all worldly works”. She also prayed, “O Lord! Accept it with Your kindness from me. You are the Hearer of my request, and You know my aim as You are the Knower”.

As though, that woman prayed; hinting for the birth of a son to her (offspring). But her hope did not come up and a daughter was born from her. Therefore, she said with grief, “My Lord! Lo! I have brought forth a female”. Allah Almighty commanded her that her daughter was very auspicious, she did not know that her daughter would bring forth a blessed and honorable son {Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him)}.

The wife of Imran supplicated in the Court of God Almighty, “I have named her Mary, and I crave Your protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast”. Allah Almighty accepted her prayer. We have learnt from this narration that, “Although each kind of badness had been grown in the children of Israel in those days, but even then some persons from them were present who used to love Allah Almighty and they used to endow their children for religious duty.

Commentary

 ‘Aala-‘Imraana – (Family of Imran), two famous persons named Imran have passed away in the history. One was father of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) named Imran bin Baseer. The second (many centuries later) was father of Mary (razii Allaahu ‘anhaa), named Imran bin Matan, maternal grandfather of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). Here both persons may be inferred. Most scholars and philosophers have considered here the second Imran, because there is description about him in the succeeding verses of this Surah (chapter). 

‘Aa-dama – (Adam), Allah Almighty created the earth, the heavens and the entire universe with His vast Divine Power. His biggest creature is Adam (peace be upon him), who was made a collection of many spiritual and corporeal excellence. Allah Almighty ordered the Angels (peace be upon them) to prostrate unto Adam; for telling dignity of his existence to the universe. He was chosen for prophet-hood. Later on it (Prophet-hood) was given to Prophet Shiis and Noah (peace be upon them) respectively. Then it reached Messenger Abraham (peace be upon him) step by step. After Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), the people who remained in this world, they all were descendants of these two Prophets (peace be upon them). Then Allah Almighty selected Prophet Abraham and his family to bestow them the grade of Prophet-hood like Adam and Noah (peace be upon them) and the Prophets (peace be upon them), came after them, they all were from the lineage of two sons of Abraham (peace be upon him) i.e. Isaac and Ishmael (peace be upon them).  

Zurriy-yatam-  ba’-zuhaa  mim-ba’-z – (They were descendants one of another), order of genealogy runs through the side of father. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was born without father. So it might be thought that he (peace be upon him) could not be counted from the lineage of Abraham (peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah Almighty informed by revealing the words Zurriy-yatam-  ba’-zuhaa  mim-ba’-z that these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were descendants one of another. Because Imran, the father of Mary was from the race of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them). Consequently, it proved that no Prophet is out of the family of Abraham (peace be upon them).    

By describing Samii-‘un  ‘Aliim, it is pointed out that Allah Almighty is Hearer of the entire supplications and sayings. He knows hidden and outward circumstances of all. He is Aware of everything. He is Knower about reality and characteristics of all persons. Therefore, His selection can never be incomplete or false.

Following the Messenger

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌرَّحِيمٌ 31

 قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ 32 

31.  Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 32.  Say: Obey Allah and the Messenger. But if they turn away, lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance).

31.  Qul  ‘in-  kuntum  tuhibbuu-nallaaha  fattabi-‘uunii  yuh-bib-kumullaahu  wa  yagfir  lakum  zunuubakum.  Wallaahu  Gafuurur-  Rahiim.    32.  Qul  ‘atii-‘ullaaha  war-Rasuul. Fa-‘in-  tawallaw  fa-‘innAllaaha laa yuhibbul-Kaafiriin.

Commentary

In the previous verses, Allah Almighty forbade from friendship with the disbelievers. Now it is being commanded that you should love Allah Almighty, but standard for love with Allah Almighty is hidden in perfect obedience and complete following up His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). That is to say; if you wish to see, “Who loves his/her Real Lord, then he would be examined with the proof of obedience to Muhammad, the Last Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)”. How much a person follows the steps of Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), he understands the Prophet’s brought Light (Islam) as Flambeau of the Straight Path and follows this Light, as much his/her belief will be perfect.      

He will get reward of love with the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that Allah Almighty will begin loving that person. Due to blessing of obeying the Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), his previous sins will be forgiven and in future, he will deserve kindness and special attention of Allah Almighty. As though, there is no possibility of love by God Almighty for him without obeying the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

The children of Israel and the Christians used to say, “We are the sons and beloved of God”. Here it has been declared that the denier of Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), Prophet of Allah, cannot be His beloved. Whoever wants to become the beloved of Allah, he should follow the Sayings of Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him).

The Muslim Devotees have presented an astonishing point from it that Allah Almighty has recommended for His lovers, “If you claim that you love Me then follow My lover, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Resultantly I shall become your lover and ignore your errors.” He also warned, “If you did not obey Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), then you will be counted in disbelievers and Allah does not keep the deniers friends.
