When Hz.Maryam was born, Zechariah (a.s), was entrusted with his care and supervision by Allah Ta’ala. In spite of this, Hz.Maryam was provided with sustenance by Allah by sending basic necessities to him in a wonderful way. (Al-Imran, 33-37) Zakariya (a.s) Hz.Maryam gave herself to worship in the masjid of ‘ prophet Zakariya.Hazrat Maryam is one of the servants of Allah has specially chosen, cleansed her soul and invited her to his worship (Al-Imran, 42-43).
Hazrat Maryam has closed herself in a private room in the masjid away from people. One day, Allaah sent Gabriel (a.s) to Hazrat Maryam. She fears Gabriel, who appears to her in the form of a human being, and takes refuge in Allah from doing evil.
Gabriel (a.s), explaining the inner side of the incident, states that he is the messenger of Allah and was sent to give good news of a child. Thereupon the Hazrat Maryam in amazement “How can I have a child even though no human has touched me and I am not a lewd woman?”
Gabriel (a.s) also responds to this call by saying: “Yes it is. My Lord says: he is very easy for me. Thus did we appreciate him in order to make him a miracle for people and a mercy from us. This already (in eternity) provision.” (Maryam, 19/16-21; Ali-Imran, 3/45-47)
She becomes pregnant with Jesus. It is impossible to explain this situation, which will be met with repentance by his environment. For this reason, she would rather leave mosque and retire to a place far away from everyone. (Maryam, 19/22) The Maryam lives in a place far from society. When Mary is in labor while she is pregnant, she takes refuge under a palm tree on the spot.
Along with the pains of childbirth, the fears of repentance have also increased so much that this anxiety made her say, “I wish I had died before this and been forgotten.” At this point, Gabriel (a.s), Who rushes to her aid by the command of Allah and calls out: “Do not be sad, your Lord has made a stream flow just below you. Shake the date palm tree towards you so that fresh dates will be poured Tuesday you. Eat, drink, keep an eye on yourself. If you see one of the people, you will say, ‘I have dedicated my silence to the Most Merciful. Say, ’I’m not going to talk to anyone today!” (Mary, 19/23-26)
These statements indicate that the event was planned by Allah.It’s pointed out that Hz.Maryam was not alone and that she was protected by Allah. Allah said to Hz.Maryam “You don’t have to tell your environment anything about the child. It is our responsibility to respond to criticism in this regard.”
With this moral support, Hazrat Maryam could now take her child in her arms and go to her people. So she did. However, it happened to her that she was afraid, and society reproached her in the worst way. They said, “O Maryam! You’ve done something very ugly! O Aaron’s sister, your father was not a bad person. And your mother wasn’t lewd.” (Mary, 19/27-28) Whereupon Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear. Hazrat Maryam pointed to the baby.
The people around her said, “How do we talk to the baby in the crib? The baby Jesus came to the tongue and said, “Verily, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Book and has made me a prophet. He has made me blessed and virtuous wherever I am. He ordered me to pray and pay the zakat as long as I lived. He made me respect my mother. It didn’t make me a horny bully. Peace be upon me on the day of my birth, on the day of my death, and on the day of my resurrection.”
Almighty Allah, entering into the word, emphasizes the main theme to us as follows: “This is Jesus, the son of Maryam, about whom they doubt. It is unthinkable that Allah will have children. Glory be to Allah, it is far from this (assertion). When he rules a business, he just says, ‘Be!’he says, ‘and it happens.” (Mary, 19/34-35)
This event was presented to humanity as a historical fact, a miracle and a document in a style that reveals the power and might of Allah in the days when Jesus was born, so that Christians who will deviate from denial with the claim that “Jesus is the son of Allah” in the future will not attempt this slander that even cracks the heavens.
Hz.Maryam is an example of chastity and patience in the Islamic world.
