The Noble Qur’an And The Unseen (2/4)

The miracle of creation imparted by Allah

The Truth, be ever gloried His Majesty and Might, has informed us in the Noble Qur’an that He created everything from a male and a female through the verse saying (what means):

“And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).” (Surah Az-Zariyat, 51: 49)

And the verse saying (what means):

“And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, male and female.” (Surah An-Najm, 53: 45)

But we have to pay attention to the word ‘pair’ for it does not here mean two, as usually crosses the minds of some people but it means one of two corresponding things, similar in form but different in function.

We notice this in all of Allah’s creatures; all the animals and insects are created from a male and a female. No creature can exist from a male without a female or the opposite except in the miracles where Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, wanted to prove His Absolute Power in the universe and in creation. Adam (peace be upon him) was created from neither a male nor a female; Allah directly created him. Then came the creation of Hawwa’ (Eve, peace be upon her) from a male only, for she was created from the rib of Adam. Bearing on that meaning, The Truth, all praise and glory be to Him, says (what means):

“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women.” (Surah An-Nisa’, 4: 1)

Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, created Isa, (Jesus, peace be upon him), son of Maryam (Mary, may Allah be pleased with her) from a female only, without a male, whereby the four miracles of creation are perfected: creation without neither a male nor a female, creation from a male without a female, creation from a female without a male and creation with the union of both to prove the Absolute Power and Might of Allah, all praise and glory be to Him

Everything in the universe is created from a male and a female, hence insemination or pollination must take place for reproduction; a fact finally discovered by modern science. So, if they wanted to completely destroy a certain pest or an insect, they have to destroy either the males or the females, consequently the insect or the pest perishes. If a male or a female remained the pest or the insect would return anew stronger than ever.

Casting lots to see who would be the guardian of Maryam

The Noble Qur’an has unveiled the Unseen regarding creation. The Noble Qur’an then came to uncover the past by telling us matters nobody would have ever known. Just read how certain verses in the Noble Qur’an are preceded by certain Utterances of The Most Exalted, as those meaning, ‘(O Muhammad , Peace be upon him), neither you nor your people knew them before this.’ (Surah Hud, 11: 49), ‘You were not with them,’ (Surah Al-‘Imran, 3: 44) to learn how the Noble Qur’an unveils the Unseen.

Regarding this, Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, says (what means):

“You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam (Mary); nor were you with them when they disputed.” (Surah Al-‘Imran, 3: 44)

Meaning, O Muhammad, you were not present when they cast lots to choose who would be the guardian of Maryam (Mary, peace be upon her), offered by her mother to serve His place of worship. After the mother of Maryam gave birth to her, she carried her to the priests in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) and said that she vowed to dedicate her child to the services of Baitul-Maqdis, worshipping Allah, and being in the services of His place of worship.

Zakariya (Zachariya, peace be upon him) wanted to be her guardian and be charged with bringing her up but the priests refused as each wished to be her guardian. So, they agreed upon casting lots by throwing their pens and the owner of the drawn pen would become the guardian of Maryam. The pen chosen by lot belonged to Zakariya, who became her guardian. Now recite the noble Qur’anic verse in which The Truth, praise be to Him, says (what means):

“And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not on the western side (of the Mount), when We made clear to Musa (Moses) the commandment, and you were not among those present.” (Surah Al-Qasas, 28: 44)

Furthermore, Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, says to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that he was not there when He talked to Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) on the western side of Mount Tur in Sinai.

Also, the noble Qur’anic verse saying (what means):

“And you (O Muhammad SAW) were not a dweller among the people of Madyan (Midian), reciting Our Verses to them.” (Surah Al-Qasas, 28: 45)

Meaning that you (Muhammad) were not dwelling among the people of Midian to know what happened to Shu‘aib (peace be upon him) and what he said to his people while calling them to the Religion of Allah. The Truth, be ever gloried His Majesty and Might, says (what means):

“This is of the news of the unseen which We reveal unto you (O Muhammad, Peace be upon him), neither you nor your people knew them before this.” (Surah Hud, 11: 49)

Thus, Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, informed His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) about things he would never have known, neither he nor any of his people to prove that unveiling the past happens only by His Will, all praise and glory be to Him. When Allah unveiled the past to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), He revealed to him the matters related to the Divine Law that the predecessors cared to hide. The Almighty, praise be to Him, revealed the truth about the fabricated lies they used to spread against His Prophets; among them were what the rabbis alleged against Sulaiman (Solomon, peace be upon him) that he ruled by magic and what the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Sulaiman.

“They followed that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2: 102)

Allah, The Truth, all praise and glory be to Him, revealed to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) news that neither he nor his people could ever know, so that a nonbeliever would never dare say that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) received his knowledge from this or that.

The Divine Revelation came concerning matters unknown neither to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) nor to his people, with the purpose of emendating the insertions that the rabbis and others have intruded into the Law of Allah. To make it known to all that this emendation is from Almighty Allah Himself to cause the truth to triumph and bring falsehood to nothing, so that none can dare contest it. Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, says what means, ‘This is of the news of the unseen.’ (Surah Hud, 11: 49) Meaning, this news appertains to the unseen past that nobody knew, and is conveyed by Allah, be ever gloried His Majesty and Might, to His Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
