Surat Al `Imran (41-50)

{قَالَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ لِي آَيَةً قَالَ آَيَتُكَ أَلَّا تُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ إِلَّا رَمْزًا وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحْ بِالعَشِيِّ وَالإِبْكَارِ} [آل عمران: 41]

41- Zechariah said: O Lord, I ask You to make a sign for me in order to know the occurrence of pregnancy to receive it with praise and thanks.

Allah said to him: The sign is that you will not be able to talk for three days but only gesture, despite your ability to mention Allah. Mention Allah frequently, praise Him for this blessing, and glorify Him day and night.

{وَإِذْ قَالَتِ المَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَى نِسَاءِ العَالَمِينَ} [آل عمران: 42]

42- The angels said to Mary [peace be upon her]: Allah has chosen you for your frequent worship and for your honor. He made you pure, chaste, and dignified, and favored you to all women of the world.

{يَا مَرْيَمُ اقْنُتِي لِرَبِّكِ وَاسْجُدِي وَارْكَعِي مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ} [آل عمران: 43]

43- O Mary, worship your Lord frequently, keep to His Obedience, keep to reverence and submissiveness to him, prostrate for Him, glorify Him, and be one of those who bow to him as a prelude to something great.

{ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنْتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُونَ أَقْلَامَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يَكْفُلُ مَرْيَمَ وَمَا كُنْتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ} [آل عمران: 44]

44- O Prophet, the story that We narrate to you from the news of Zechariah, Yahya, and Mary is part of the unseen that We reveal to you. You know nothing about it before this time and you were not present with the guardians of the church to know the speech, the dispute, and the toss that took place in order to choose someone to take care of Mary after she had fulfilled her vow and put her there. They did that for the sake of the reward until Allah destined that Zachariah [peace be upon him], who was their leader and master, was the one who took care of her.

{إِذْ قَالَتِ المَلَائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْهُ اسْمُهُ المَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَجِيهًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآَخِرَةِ وَمِنَ المُقَرَّبِينَ} [آل عمران: 45]

45- This was the great matter that the angles came with to Mary [peace be upon her], when they said to her: Indeed, Allah gives you glad tiding of a boy whom you beget by the will of Allah and he shall be part of Him [like all human beings who are part of Allah's Soul], and he shall be created by a word that is "Be" and he shall be. His name is Jesus son of Mary, in relative to his chaste mother because he has no father. He shall be revered and of high status at Allah in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah shall make him a great prophet from the prophets who bore great deal of hardships. He shall send him a holy book; that is the Gospel. Thus, he shall have a great status in the Hereafter at his Lord in order to intercede for those whom Allah gave him permission and shall accept from him. Moreover, he shall be close to Allah along with the other prophets [peace be upon them].

{وَيُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي المَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا وَمِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ} [آل عمران: 46]

46- He shall speak to people in the cradle; it will be a miracle from Allah. He shall call them to the worship of Allah Alone as he does so when he grows old and he shall be among the accepted righteous ones at Allah.

{قَالَتْ رَبِّ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لِي وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ قَالَ كَذَلِكِ اللهُ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ إِذَا قَضَى أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ} [آل عمران: 47]

47- The chaste and the pure Mary said: "O Lord, how could I beget a child without having sexual intercourse with a man?

The angels said to her that Allah says: This is His Command and nothing disables Him, so He create whatever He wants the way He wants and in whenever He wants. When He wants something, He just says "Be" and that thing will be without delay.

 Mary makes sure of the ability of Allah, her puzzlement is removed, and her heart feels comfortable.

{وَيُعَلِّمُهُ الكِتَابَ وَالحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنْجِيلَ} [آل عمران: 48]

48- Allah teaches Jesus Christ writing and gives him wisdom. Thereby, he distinguishes right, follows it, and put things in their proper place so that he could be of the people of intellect. He also teaches him that was revealed to Moses [peace be upon him], the Gospel that was revealed to him, and he memorized them both. The Torah was the basis of the religion to which he called the people, and the Gospel is a complement and revival to it with the violation or modification of some rulings which were few.

{وَرَسُولًا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِّي قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِآَيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ أَنِّي أَخْلُقُ لَكُمْ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَنْفُخُ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ طَيْرًا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَأُبْرِئُ الأَكْمَهَ وَالأَبْرَصَ وَأُحْيِي المَوْتَى بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا تَأْكُلُونَ وَمَا تَدَّخِرُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآَيَةً لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ} [آل عمران: 49]

49- Allah shall make him a messenger to the Children of Israel, and would explain to them the religion of Allah by the magnificent miracles that were given to him: I have come to you with a sign and guidance from your Lord in order to know that I am His Messenger. I shall fashioned for you a bird out of that clay then I shall blow therein and it shall fly by the will and the ability of Allah; you shall see it by your naked eyes.

I shall cure the blind and make him see.

I shall heal the leprosy [white spots inflict the body].

I shall revive the dead by the will of Allah.

Allah supported Jesus by miracles that suits his age. He was revealed in a time where medicine and doctors were widespread, so he brought something to disable them and takes away their minds so that no body could lean to something to deny him.

He said: I shall tell you of what you eat in the same time you eat it and what you save in your houses for tomorrow.

All this is a hard evidence and a proof that I was sent to you as a prophet if you are truly believers.

The One who destined all that for His Servant, nothing will disable Him to create someone without a father because He is All-Able of what He wants, so believe in what is right and do not transgress.

{وَمُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَلِأُحِلَّ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِي حُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَجِئْتُكُمْ بِآَيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ} [آل عمران: 50]

50- I was sent to you to confirm the rulings that were mentioned in the Torah and restore the rulings that were mentioned therein. I also came to make lawful to you some of what was forbidden to you, and I came you with miraculous signs that attest my truthfulness as a messenger, so keep to the obedience of Allah, avoid disobeying Him, and obey Me in all that I command you with or prohibit you to do.
