Qasas al-Qur'an: The Story of Jesus Ibn Maryam
·
ALLAH IS CAPABLE OF EVERYTHING:
Maulana Ahmed Raza Khan Barilvi writes a saying of Hazrat Wahib
that "The first person who came to know about Hazrat Maryam's pregnancy
was her cousin Yusuf Najjar, who He was a servant of Bait Al-Maqdis Mosque and
a very pious person. When he came to know that Hazrat Maryam was pregnant,
he was very surprised.
Whenever he intended to slander Bibi Maryam, he would be
silenced by remembering her worship and piety and being present at all times,
not disappearing at any time, and when he thought of pregnancy, he would find
it difficult to misunderstand her. . Finally, one day he said to Hazrat
Maryam, "One thing has come to my heart, I want to not say it on my
tongue, but I have no patience now. If you allow me, then I will say it. This
is how my heart is." Hazrat Maryam said. "That's good, tell me,
what do you want to say?" He said. "O Maryam! Tell me,
can a crop be without a seed, a tree without rain and a child without a
father?'' He created without a seed and made trees grow by His power without
rain, can you say that Allah is not able to create trees without water?'' Yusuf
said. "I don't say that. Verily, I am convinced that Allah is
Able to do all things. Whatever you say, it happens.
Hazrat Maryam said, "Don't you know that Allah created Adam
and Eve without a mother or father?" Yusuf Najjar's doubt was cleared by
these words of Hazrat Maryam. . Hazrat Maryam (AS) became weak due to
pregnancy. Therefore, he began to perform the duty of his representative
in the service of the mosque. Allah inspired Hazrat Maryam to go away from
her people, so she went to Bethlehem" (Kanzalaiman, Commentary on Surah
Maryam, page 441).

MENTION OF HAZRAT ISA (AS) IN THE HOLY QURAN:
Hazrat Isa (AS) is mentioned under different names in thirteen
chapters of the Holy Quran. In 26 places it was called Jesus, in 23 places
Ibn Maryam, in 11 places Christ and in one place Abdullah. The Nineteenth
Surah of the Holy Quran, Surah Maryam is named after your mother
Majda. The third Surah of the Holy Qur'an, Surah Aal-e-Imran (A.S.) is named
after his grandfather and the father of Hazrat Maryam (A.S.). In the fifth
Surah of the Glorious Qur'an, Surah al-Ma'idah, there is a mention of the food,
which was requested by the disciples of Jesus. Prophet Jesus is mentioned
the most in the Holy Quran. In the Qur'an and Hadith, their situations are
described more than all the prophets.
·
THE GOOD NEWS OF THE COMING OF THE LAST PROPHET:
Allah sent the most number of prophets to the Children of
Israel, while their last prophet was Jesus the son of Maryam. He gave the
nation the good news of the arrival of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa, the Last of the
Prophets. Allah says, "And when Ibn Maryam said, O Children of
Israel! I am sent to you by Allah and I give good tidings of a Messenger
who will come after me. Whose name will be Ahmad" (Surat al-Saf,
verse 6). However, no messenger came for 560 years after Jesus.
Then Allah sent the prophet of the last days, Hazrat Muhammad
(peace be upon him) as a mercy to all the worlds and revealed his last book,
the Holy Qur'an. Prophet Isa (peace be upon him) revealed the Gospel at
the age of thirty years and three years later took him to heaven, at that time
he was thirty-three years old. It is a divine statement. "And We
gave Jesus the son of Maryam (peace be upon him) the Gospel after those
prophets, in which is guidance and light." (Surat Al-Ma'idah, 46).
·
EMIGRATION OF JESUS IBN MARYAM:
When Jesus was seven years old, his mother started sending him
to seminary. It was a time when, unlike other children, instead of wasting
time in sports, you would see the wonders inspired by Allah and tell people
words of wisdom. However, the priests of the Israelites of that time
started conspiracies against them considering them as a great threat to
them. This was the time when Hazrat Zakaria (peace be upon him) was the
prophet of Bani Israel, but the Jews disobeyed and denied their prophet due to
their previous traditions and evil habits.
Not only were these people practicing polytheism, but their
religious leaders had also changed the Torah according to their
wishes. With each passing day, their beliefs and actions were getting
worse and worse, and now they felt threatened by Hazrat Isa (peace be upon
them). She went to Egypt to her loved ones. After thirteen years, she came
back to Bait-ul-Maqdis from Egypt by the order of Allah Ta'ala. Where
Allah Ta'ala gave His Holy Book, the Gospel to Hazrat Isa Ibn Maryam (AS) and
blessed him with nine special miracles.
·
ALLAH GRANTED MIRACLES TO THE PROPHETS:
Allah blessed every prophet granted miracles according to the
circumstances and observations of that time. Like Hazrat Dawud and Hazrat
Sulaiman (peace be upon him) were blessed with the miracles of logic, conquest,
wind, birds and subjugation of the jinn. May Prophet Musa (peace be upon
him) be granted nine open miracles, in which Pharaoh's drowning in the sea of
Qalazm with the sign of a scepter and an oval are among the great
miracles. The flames of the burning fire on Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon
him) were scattered.
He gave the great miracle of
Zamzam water to Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him). Noah's ark,
Salih's camel, Yunus's survival in the belly of a fish, all these were
miracles, and then the Prophet of the last days, Muhammad Mustafa, was the
greatest miracle. He gave the Holy Quran. Apart from this, there are
innumerable miracles, including the breaking of the crescent moon and the
victory of Badr, which Allah bestowed upon Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be
upon him). In the same way, Lord Dhul-Jalal blessed Jesus with miracles. Allah
says, translation: "And We gave clear signs (miracles) to Jesus son of
Maryam" (Surat al-Baqarah, verse no. 253).
·
NINE MIRACLES OF HAZRAT ISA IBN MARYAM:

mentioned by God Almighty.

a father.
2. He testified
to the purity and righteousness of his mother by speaking in the embrace of his

era of peace and blessings on earth and only the religion of Islam will remain. He

FIVE PROMISES OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY:
In the Holy Quran, God
Almighty made five promises to Jesus (AS) against the Jews. The details of
which are in verse 55 of Surah Aal-e-Imran.
1. According
to the first promise, the death of Hazrat Isa ibn Maryam (a.s.) will not be
done by the hands of the Jews, but will happen naturally at the appointed time.
2. The
promise of being lifted up to the upper world with safety was fulfilled at that
time.
3. The
third promise was to purify them from the slanders of their enemies. It
was fulfilled in such a way that when the prophet of the last days (peace be
upon him) came, he denied all the accusations of the Jews and affirmed the
prophet and messenger of Jesus Ibn Maryam (peace be upon him).
4. The
fourth promise, Your subjects will prevail over Your disbelievers until the Day
of Resurrection. Ever since Allah made this promise, it has always been
observed that the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims prevailed. (As far
as the present government of Israel is concerned, its reality is nothing but
that it owes to the Christians of America and Europe and they have a common
camp against the Muslims, the day these Christians of the West If you raise
your hands from your head, then very soon his existence will be erased from the
map of the world.)
5. The
fifth promise is to judge these religious differences on the Day of
Resurrection, which will surely be fulfilled in its time. As Allah says in
verse 55 of Surah Al-Imran. Translation: "Then they will all come
back to Me, so on that day I will judge you about the matters in which you used
to differ." (Ma'arif al-Qur'an, 76/2).
·
DISCIPLES OF JESUS:
"Apostle" is
derived from Hur, which literally means whiteness. A few sincere
companions of Hazrat Jesus (AS) used to adorn themselves with white clothes, so
they were given the title of disciples. As the companions of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, have been nicknamed
"Sahabi". There is disagreement about the number of disciples,
however, most historians put their number at 12. The word Hawari is also
spoken in the meaning of helper. It is said in the blessed hadith,
"Every prophet has a follower, that is, a faithful companion. My follower
is Zubair." (Sahih Bukhari, 2846-2847). However, this word should not be
used for the associates of an evil person.
Hazrat
Isa (peace be upon him) had neither a house nor a wife, children. He used
to preach the religion of truth from city to city, from village to village, and
help the servants of God with his miracles as needed, but despite all this, the
Jewish chiefs and priests considered him as an enemy of their self-made and
misguided ideas and tormented them, denied them, and tormented them. And do not
refrain from causing grief.
Among
the deniers of Prophethood, there must have been a few people, who were
followers of the Prophet (PBUH). When Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) saw
that the children of Israel, despite the appearance of miracles, were denying
the prophethood of him and were firmly fixed on disbelief, then he said, (It is
the Almighty's turn to guide) Who is the helper?" The disciples replied,
"We are your helpers in the way of Allah Ta'ala. We believe in Allah,
the Exalted, and bear witness that we are submissive.” (Surah Aal-e-Imran, 52).
·
THE REQUEST FOR A TABLE TO BE SENT DOWN FROM THE SKY:
The disciples of Jesus
(peace be upon him) were very sincere and obedient, but one day they made a
strange request to Jesus (peace be upon him), which was described by God in the
Qur'an. Translation: "The apostles said: O Jesus son of Maryam! Can
your Lord send food from the sky to us? "If you are believers, then
fear Allah." He said, "We desire that we may eat from it and find
comfort in our hearts, and that we may believe that you have spoken the truth
to us and Let us be witnesses to the revelation of this Qur'an."
On
the request of the disciples, Hazrat Isa Ibn Maryam (A.S.) prayed, "O our
Lord! Send down upon us a table from the sky so that that day may be
declared an Eid for us." Allah said, "Indeed, I will send down that
table upon you, then whoever among you is ungrateful after that, then I will
give him such a punishment, which will not be given to anyone in this world. The
word maida is used for a table or table. A table on which food is chosen
is called maida.
