Mary Did You Know? by Mohammad Shaikh 02/05

the place and the time factor. qalam, qalam means pen, aqlam means pens - but in metaphorical language sometimes it is usedÖThey threw their pens means an enclosure used for confinement or safekeeping. This is also meaning of a pen. One is a literal meaning. Pen is to write. But at the same time if you look up the dictionaries, there areÖin a sentence they write pens. They threw the pens means that they have got the enclosure or safekeeping to take care or to Zakariya Öyouíll see whoÖto whoís responsible to take care of Maryam - because she was not an ordinary child and she was supposed to be dedicated. So people at that time threw their pens means that they were showing their places of confinement or safekeeping to take charge, to take care of Maryam. They were showing their places, a confinement or safekeeping to see who would be responsible to take charge of Maryam. That is the throwing of a pen. So people showed and finally in the next ayah, if youíll note, in In this ayah youíll get to know Maryamís brought-up. She grew. Under the care or the safekeeping of Zakariya (pbuh). Not with the parents and Zakariya is a messenger of Allah (pbuh) so she gre a beautiful growth and Zakariya was responsible, taking charge of her and that place he provided a safe place when he threw the pen. His place was better so he got the responsible take charge of her. And when Zakariya entered on her chamber, in the chamber and found sustenance near her, he asked, O Maryam/Mary, how is this for you, where are you getting from this sustenance? She said, It is from the nearness of Allah. Surely Allah gives sustenance whom He wills without any counting/calculation. So in this ayah I just want to make a point that Zakariya was taking care of Maryam/Mary and from the childhood. Some people think in the manner that as a grown-up. No. She grew from the very little, she grew and was taken care, she was being taken care or the charge was Zakariya (pbuh). He was taking care of her from the very childhood like a guardian. In the Arabic itís kafeel and that is taking charge, taking the responsibility. That is the main point in this ayah. It was not that she had some - Astaghfarullah - had relationship with Zakariya that is the wrong concept prevailing in the world. Some peopleÖyou know hook and crook they want toÖput something ÖIím trying to emphasize is this that she grew from the child and he was taking care of her as responsible and Maryam was also, when she was getting sustenance from Allah. Itís not clarified in the ayahs what sustenance but we can safely say she was communicating with God, she was bowing down and prostrating and she was having communication with Allah and He was providing sustenance. .Sustenance is everything that Allah provides for our livelihood. For our livelihood. Now the time comes how the good news was given to Maryam of Essa (pbuh) The birth will take place. So it is mentioned in Now when the angel said, O Maryam/MaryÖNow this is a good news or the news is given, a prophecy is given, Basharat is given to Maryam of a word from Allah and his name will be Al Maseeh Essa, ibne Maryam. Total. His full name is Al Maseeh Essa ibne Maryam. Within the name is the answer. You see, normally in the Quraían, if you note, Allah says, call your sons by the names of the fathers and in the Arabic world, in the Arab world, you can see that,. No one is called by the name of the mother. Exception is here. His name would be Usmul MaseehEssa, Ibne Maryam. Christ Jesus, son of Maryam/Mary. That is the good news, complete name. Meaning she is notÖEssa (pbuh) will be born of Maryam only - of Maryam only. Thatís the point. Al-Maseeh Essa Ibne Maryam. Well generally in the Quraían is from the fatherís progeny. Here itís referred as Al Maseeh Essa Ibne Maryam. And further it says Arabic And he will be honorable in this world and in the hereafter from those who are closeones. Now, as a female, apparent female, she is using her logic, how can he be a son from me when no human has touched me? You must look at the answer. It says, Even so Arabic He said, like this, even so Allah creates what He wills. Arabic When the order is complete, then surely He said Be for him and he was. This is the understanding that we have to understand. In generally we can understand this, veryÖwhen Allah can say Be and it isÖand he was. How? If she was only a female, how? That is the Allah says, Allah knows more what she was, what she gave when she was born. The problem is if you go into science and try to understand theÖif the women are born or the females are born, they have born by two X-chromosomes. And if you look at theÖthis is a fact Iím telling you, the women have two X-chromosomes. And the male has got X and Y chromosomes. So male birth is by X and Y. And female birth is by two X-chromosomes. So femaleÖwhere the Y comes.? Of course by the will of Allah. We can say that. But how? If Maryam can have a child because it says when a word was given because Allah says. Arabic The Y come from where? Thatís the question. That is why the Christians are saying heís the son of God and people in the Muslim world say, well it was the will of God. Ok, I understand. We all understand it was the permission will of God but from where the Y comes? Thatís the discussion we have to understand. So females have two X-chromosomes generally and males has got X and Y chromosomes so the Y mean the male representation. So how this Y comes by the permission of God? Thatís the discussion. So remember, it says Arabic Likewise, even so, Allah creates what He will. Arabic And when the order is complete, He said to it, Be and he was. Now this portion we have to analyze. We have already read in the beginning ayaat that Allah creates males, Allah creates females, Allah creates couples.You know. Now how heís suddenly born, this is by the order of Allah. By the order of Allah. And what is the order we will discuss. Now before I goÖI have toÖI must refer to the Bible Öhow they portray, how similar sort of narration is mentioned, Iíll just read for you in the following verses Öaccording to the Bible, Jews and Christian faith. Not Jews specially, Christiansí faith. Similar story, the angels came to Mary and in the Biblical reference it says, Then said Mary unto the angel in answer to the child which was to be born, how shall this be? I know not a man. In the Quraían it says, no man has touched me. No man has touched me. In the Bible it says I know not a man, trying to say the similar thing. But the further in answer to that is, Thatís the Biblical understanding how Jesus will come into being. The Holy Ghost will come upon Mary. You know the English language. The Holy Ghost will come upon you what the mental picture you have .. And he will be the son of God. I am reading the bible Itís not my own words. Its theirs. The Holy will come upon Mary and overshadow thee. Therefore that thing will be the son of God. Okay. Now you must understand the difference. The Biblical textual understanding in how Jesus was born. In the Quraían it is, when order is complete it says Kun Faiaakun. He said Be and he was. Thatís the Quraíanic understanding. But the Bible says that the Holy Ghost will come upon you and that is how the mis-concept comes - that is, heís the son of God. And he will be called son of God. So now we will have to have a comparison so I will refer to a verse in the Quraían You see why I am referring to this ayah, because to create anything or to clarify anything whatever Allah wills, He said Be and it was. So what is spirit? Spirit is the essence. Look it says they asked you about the spirit, the essence. Say it is from the order of my Lord. Now what is the order, Kun means Be. The essence is that He wants to produce a child from Maryam. He was. They said the spirit is from the order of my Lord, the essence. What is the essence? What is required? That Essa (pbuh)_ should be born of Mary. That is theÖrequirement. She said, how can I have a son when no human has touched me? . So Allah says, likewise He will say Be. Be is what? Order. And he was. So it says Arabic Say it is from the order of my Lord. That is the essence, the spirit. The spirit-essence is the essence of the Allahís ayahs or the message or an order. Whenever the order is complete, He said Be and he was. What is the situation? The situation is that Allah was producing Essa (pbuh) for Maryam - from Maryam. So she says, how can I have a son when no human has touched me? So what Al;lah says, likewise - like from the Maryam a child will be born Arabic so when the order is complete, so what is the order? Be! The spirit comes. When He said Be! The spirit comes. And when the order is complete He said Be and it was. To complete the process, the order of Allah should come. And when the order is there the spirit comes. When the order is, the spirit comes. that is what he says Arabic They ask you about the spirit Arabic Say, Rooh,the spirit/essence is from the order of my Lord. So what is the order? Is be!And he was. First I will readÖHave you got, all of you? I will read the Arabic and then I will show you the similarity and the dissimilarity. And what happens. The translation of the first ayah is: Now in these two verses why I would like to show you the comparison and the difference in the word he and her is there. The first part of the ayah, the first portion of the ayah, reference is given to her of breathing the essence into her, that is Maryam. Look, it says Arabic I will just read this little portion of this both two ayahs. First I will read Arabic And when she, Maryam, who fortified/guarded her gap/private part and We breathed into her Our spirit. Now listen. Our spirit is Allahís ayat essence. So when she said, I cannot have a son when no human has touched me, she was answered by Allah, Likewise. When Allah creates, He wills. So this essence that sheís receiving is breathing into her the spirit. The personality, Maryam is getting an answer from Allah and the message is, in the ayaat message is that likewise that without a husband or without a father, without a human touching her, she will have a son. That is the breathed or the spirit into her to give her To give her the confidence, likewise, youíll have a son. You understand what Iím saying? The information transferred to Maryam, to her personality, that is the spirit. The spirit comes by the order of Allah. So Allah answers, likewise, you will have a son. So here it differs to Arabic She has guarded her private part Arabic We breathed into her, Her means Maryam, the personality, Maryam. Sheís getting an answer that likewise you will have a son. So this essence of the message is, that youíll have a son without anybody human touching you. Sheís getting that essence from Allah. So Rooh, the spirit is that youíll have a son. You follow what Iím saying? That is the essence transferred to Maryam and the spirit she received. Okay? Now the similar portion is written below. I will read the small portion and you look at the difference. Itís not breathing into her but it is breathing into the private part. It says Arabic Who fortified/guarded her gap/private part. We breathed into it, to the private part. What do you understand that the private part was Allah breathed to, into the private part, into it. Not into Maryam. Before it was into Maryam, the soul/the psyche. What order was given to the private part, can anyone say, can anyone tell me?Yes.To fertilize. She should conceive because she had a, she was not an ordinary child. Remember this. We have already discussed that. Are you following? If I say, Kun. Sorry, I mean Allah says Kun, Be! To the private part, the private part will act upon. The essence to the private part is you do this, to act upon. And the fertilization take place from within the Maryam herself , not from any other source. Because she was hermaphrodite. You understand what Iím saying? She had both sexes. That is why the order was given to the private part. And one order is to her - the information, that you will produce a child by the will of God. But when the spirit was ordered, the spirit comes, the order was given to the private part, and the spirit is to produce. Be and he was. And the fertilization took place. Are you understanding what Iím saying? If itís not yet, please raise your hand. Anyone who have not yet understood. You? Anyone here? Youíre not following at all? The Maryam was having double sex. Okay. We have already discussed this. So the order was given to how the fertilization takes within herself . One is the order to, if I say, Kun Faiyekun, Allah say Be and he was, and she was pregnant. Everybody understands. But we are trying to understand how. So itís very simple to understand that she was hermaphrodite, she had both sexes and the order was given to the private part to act upon. The spirit came and it act and sheÖKun Faiyekun. Be and he was. By the way, Allah is already specifying into two ayahs. One the spirit came to her to give the information and one the spirit was given to the private part to act upon. And it fertilized. That is why she, Essa (pbuh) is always referred as son of Maryam. He is the only person in the whole world born of a woman only. You follow. Itís simple. Al-Maseeh Essa ibne Maryam. He;s the son of Mary. That is why the name was given that she will be born of Mary only. And what is the purification process? That Allah purified her. You see, the women, when they came, they come to the age of puberty, the *** starts. Okay? And when men, excuse me, listen to me very carefully Ölook here, look at my both hands. When the woman comes to age of puberty, they have *** cycle. And during the first *** cycle, before that cycles, the ova is released from the ovum. It comes into the Fallopian tubes where the normal pregnancy takes place. And when the man comes to the age of puberty, the seminal fluid comes out. Okay? So now, look, both, here the woman, here the woman and the male. At the same time, before the *** starts to come, the ova is released and it is waiting in the Fallopian tubes. And the male comes to the age of puberty, the seminal fluid comes. And it is fertilized. So no *** takes place with Maryam. You understand what Iím saying? Before the *** cycle, the ova is released and, at the same time, because the order is to the private part, so this process has to take place. So when she came to the age of puberty, the ova is released and at the same time seminal fluid is released. And it is combined. And the evolution take place without she having any *** cycle. And then she was pregnant. There was no male intervention, only she was producing her child from her own self. And that is why sheís referred as Al Maseeh Essa ibne Maryam, Christ Jesus, son of Mary only. That is how she wasÖby the, by the order of Allah to the private part to act upon. The spirit was to her that she will have a son like this and to the private part to act upon. How did it function I explained. I hope you understand this. The more doctors can understand very easily what Iím talking about because, in science, 100 person - if you go and research - you write this word in the Webster on the internet these days and youíll have information there. There are Hermaphrodite who are having seminal fluids coming out of them at the same time periodical cycles. But no one has produced by herself or himself. Thatís a fact. No one till today. But with double sexes there are people in the world. Women, still today in the world. Jee? Thatís what Iím telling. Still today. But no one has produced by herself - except Maryam in the Quraían. But the example is in the world. You can see in the world, there are example, females, they are having periodical cycles and the same female having seminal emissions. But they cannot produce themselves - except if Allah wills for Maryam (pbuh). She produced. So now, So this was, I was just trying to emphasize what is Rooh. It is the essence what itís required for. And the order, when the order comes, the essence comes, and the action takes place. She said, how can I have a son, when no human has touched me. To give her the confidence, in her psyche Allah breathed her spirit. That likewise you will have a son when, likewise, when the order is complete, He said to it, Be and it is. General order. In the case of Maryam (pbuh) the spirit came to her. The order that came, order was that likewise youíll have a son, to her psychology. She received the message, that is the breathing of the spirit into her. But once the spirit is breathed into her private part, itís an order to act upon, to produce. Thatís the order. The spirit came to her in her private part. But at the same time her psychology also and that is to her, means to her psychology, that you will produce a son- likewise. But to the private part, to act upon. And that is how it happened. Now the question is, sorry, further in the ayah says, no first, I will read the first ayah You must understand. They both became a sign for the worlds. Maryam herself is a sign. And her son is also a sign for the worlds - that a child can be born like this, only. That is why she is chosen woman, she was not an ordinary woman like woman,only a female. She was not only a female. Remember this. She was a different class. That is why Allah says that she was made a sign, Maryam and her son. That is why never ever this thing has occurred in the lifetime, from ancient times till today. It took place only once. And Allah made her a sign. Like Firoan is preserved. There are not hundreds of Firoans. One Firoan is preserved as a sign. So sign means, you can verify. There are people like this but production is only for Maryam and Essa (pbuh) was born. So this she made aÖShe and her son was made a sign. Meaning that order I was referring to - Be and he was when it was completed - and Essa (pbuh), Allah says the first news is that he will be a sign and a mercy for all mankind. And itís easy for Allah to do this. It is and He says, Likewise your Lord says that it is easy over Me to produce a son from only Maryam (pbuh). It is easy for Him to produce a son when He can produce Adam. He can produce everybody, human beings. But this was an unusual case, He produced - itís easy for Him - and for Us We will make him a sign and a mercy . A sign means again, you can see in the world that He did this. So further it says in In these two verses you come to know itís the conception that has taken place - she conceived him - then she separated with him, that is with Jesus, to a remote place, a distant place in time. means a place, distant time, meaning immemorial, meaning long time ago. Itís there. She went to a ÖNow you have toÖwe have to seeÖwe have come to knowÖhow she was conceived. Now we have to see where that child was born, what is the place, where Jesus was (pbuh) born, the place and the time factor.
