Indeed, Allah the
Exalted had granted distinction and elevated stature to Adam
[alai'his'slaam], and Noah
[alai'his'slaam];
-
And to the family of
Iebra'heim [alai'his'slaam] and
the family of Imr'aan; [Allah is pleased
with him]
-
Upon contemporaries
of the universes. [3:33]
-
Those families were
the progeny; some of them were the offspring of
some other.
-
Be mindful, Allah
the Exalted is eternally the Listener, One and the Only Who Knows
absolutely and infinitely. [3:34]
 
-
Know the
history: When the wife of Imr'aan
said:
-
"My Sustainer Lord! I have
dedicated him,
whom I am carrying in my belly, exclusively
devoted for You the
Exalted. Therefore,
kindly accept him in dedication from me.
-
The fact remains that You the
Exalted are certainly the Ever Listener, eternally and absolutely
the Knowledgeable." [3:35]
-
[contrary to her expectation of male child]
Thereat, when she delivered that pregnancy, she said: "My Sustainer Lord! I have
delivered the pregnancy but she is a girl".
-
And Allah the Exalted
best knew about her that she had delivered.
-
And in any case the
male is never like the female.
-
[reverting from parenthetic, she
had further said] "And I have named her Maryem,
-
And I seek Your refuge for her and
her progeny from the
accursed Shai'atan [Satan]" [3:36]
 
-
Thereupon, her Sustainer Lord granted her a
pleasant acceptance.
-
And He the Exalted caused her rearing, in
the style and manner of nicely reared plants.
-
And Zakaria
[alai'his'slaam] took the responsibility of
her guardianship.
-
Whenever Zakaria
[alai'his'slaam]
had entered the sanctuary to meet her, he had always found by her side some
eatables.
-
[one day] He asked;
"O Maryam! how and from
where this sustenance comes for you?"
-
She replied: "That is supplied by the grace of Allah
the Exalted.
Indeed, Allah the Exalted provides sustenance
for
whomever He decides, without reckoning and causality." [3:37]
 
-
[Maryem's reply clicked a reality against
causality phenomenon] On hearing
Maryam's reply, Zakaria
[alai'his'slaam]
there and then
prayed to His Sustainer Lord.
-
He said, "My Sustainer Lord! grant me from Your
grace a nice beneficial offspring.
-
Indeed, You the Exalted are always the listener
of the prayer".
[3:38]
 
-
His prayer was
accepted whereby the
Angels called upon him: Zakaria
[alai'his'slaam],
while he was standing for performing
As-sa'laat: Time
Bound Formal Rite demonstrating Servitude and allegiance, in the
Secluded Chamber;
-
"Indeed, Allah the Exalted
congratulates you with good news of Yahya.
-
He will be affirmer of this
word/promise of Allah the Exalted conveyed to you.
-
And he will be
honoured as distinguished
dignitary and encircled by people in attendance, and at birth would be Elevated-Chosen
Servant [Nabi]
amongst the righteous".
[3:39]
-
He [Zakaria
alai'his'slaam]
said: "My
Sustainer Lord! I am curious to know as to how a son will take existence for me
in circumstances: When the old age has already overtaken me to its extremity; and
my
wife is infertile?"
-
He the Exalted
conveyed; "Exactly that will happen as told. Allah the Exalted
innovatively performs and executes that, whatever He decides." [3:40]
 
-
Zakaria
[alai'his'slaam]
said: "My Sustainer Lord! For occasion of this
disclose-appoint for me some mark of cognition".
-
He the Exalted conveyed him: "Your
cognition mark is that you might not be able to verbally communicate
with the people for three complete days [day and night,
without being dumb-19:10],
except by mime - gesture-language.
-
And you remember Allah the Exalted, excessively
- most of the time.
-
And repetitively
describe the praises of
Allah the Exalted at dusk and dawn".
