MARYAM (MARY)

BRIEF INTRODUCTION:

The chapter was revealed at Mecca. There are six sections, ninety eight verses, seven hundred eighty words and three thousand seven hundred eighty letters in it.

The chapter deals in detail with Hazrat Maryam the mother of Jesus christ, so it has been named Maryam. The chapter was revealed in Mecca before migration of muslims to Habsha, as when King Najashi of Habsha asked about prophet christ, then Hazrat Jafar recited the second section of this chapter.

This chapter clearly describes the position of Jesus christ who was created without father. Various blames were levelled against him and to his pious mother. The second section of the chapter clears all kinds of doubts and declares Jesus christ a true prophet and his mother a most pious sanctified woman. God is Authoritative and Powerful, He can do what ever He likes without apparent cause and effect. He is the Creator of everything.

The chapter deals in a lovely manner the method of call used by Hazrat Ibrahim. He always showed good behaviour and kept complete discipline while dealing with his father who was very harsh and used indecent words for him.

In another section various resolute messengers have been mentioned and their marvels and excellences have been described.Then there has been mentioned the children of the messengers, who went astray considering themselves that they were progeny of pious personalities. They were severely warned. But if they would desist from evils and come back to the right path, they would receive the mercy of God.

Then the chapter removed the wrong thinking of the non-believers about Doom's Day. In the end the ignorance of the astrayed groups who took sons and daughters for God was openly shown and denied.

59. Then after them came those degenerate who wasted prayer and followed their lust then soon they will encounter the valley of hell.

60. But those who repented and believed and did good deeds, then these people will enter Heaven and they will not be wronged in the least.

73. And when Our bright verses are recited to them, the infidels say to the ones who submit to the will of God ( muslims), 'which of the group's house is good and better in assembly.

74. And how many generations We have destroyed before them, that they were better in goods and outward show than them.

75. Say you, 'one who is in error, then the Most Affectionate leave him alone well until when they see that they are promised with, either a torment or the Hour. Now then, they will know whose position is worse and whose force is weak.

76. And those who received guidance, Allah will increase them in guidance. And the abiding good things are excellent with your Lord in respect of reward and in respect of return.

77. Have you seen him who has disbelieved in Our Signs and says, 'I shall surely be given wealth and children?'

78. Has he looked into the unseen or has he taken any covenant with the Most Affectionate?

79. Never, now We shall put in writing what he says and will prolong for him the torment.

81. And they have taken other gods beside Allah that they hope will give them strength.

82. Never, soon they will deny their worship and will become their opponents.

SECTION: 6

85. The day We shall carry the duty-bound (pious) towards the Most Affectionate as guests.

86. And will drive the culprits towards the Hell, thirsty.

87. The people are not the owner of intercession but only those who have taken a covenant with the Most Affectionate.

88. The infidels said, the Most Affectionate has taken a son'.

89. No doubt, you brought a thing of heaviness, a severe transgression. (Most evil)

90. It is near that the heavens may burst by it and the earth may crack down and the mountains fall down and collapse.

91. That is because they ascribed a son to the Most Affectionate.

92. And it is not logical that the Most Affectionate should take a son ( literally).

93. All who are in heavens and earth. They shall come to the Most Affectionate as bondmen ( servants ).

94. No doubt, He knows their counting and has numbered them one by one.

95. And of them, every one will come to Him alone on the day of judgement.

96. Undoubtedly, those who believed and did good deeds soon the Most Affectionate will make for them love.

97. So We made this Quran quite easy in your tongue that you may give glad-tidings to the God fearing and you may warn thereby a contentious people.

98. And how many generations We destroyed before them. Do you see any one of them or you hear from them the slightest whisper?
