Allah preferred Adam and Noah and the Family of Abraham and the Family of 'Imran above (all His) creatures.” (3:33) 00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:43.850 Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah, selecting them for His religion, 00:00:44.210 --> 00:00:48.570 As well as the family of Abraham, his followers, and his people who adhered to his religion, 00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:52.250 And the family of 'Imran for the religion they upheld, 00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:55.009 Because they were people of Islam, 00:00:55.700 --> 00:01:01.500 "Offspring, one of the other," 00:01:01.899 --> 00:01:05.260 "And Allah is Hearing and Knowing." 00:01:06.379 --> 00:01:09.659 Allah chose the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran; 00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:14.500 They were an offspring whose religion was one in Islam and truth, 00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:16.459 Their creed was one, 00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:20.540 And their faith was one in the monotheism of Allah and obedience to Him. 00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:23.980 Allah is all-hearing of the words of 'Imran's wife, 00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:27.140 And all-knowing of what she concealed within herself, 00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:30.980 When she dedicated what was in her womb purely for His service: 00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:40.939 “(Remember) when the wife of 'Imran said: My Lord! I have vowed unto Thee that which is in my belly as a consecrated (offering). Accept it from me. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower!” (3:35) 00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:46.780 "...dedicated [to Your service], so accept this from me." 00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:52.780 "Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing." 00:01:53.989 --> 00:01:55.829 When the wife of 'Imran said: 00:01:56.390 --> 00:01:58.790 "O Lord, I have pledged a vow to You, 00:01:59.189 --> 00:02:01.109 That whatever is in my womb 00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:04.109 Shall be devoted entirely to Your service in the temple, 00:02:04.549 --> 00:02:06.629 Exclusively consecrated to You. 00:02:07.269 --> 00:02:10.229 So accept from me what I have vowed to You, my Lord. 00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:14.710 You, my Lord, are all-hearing of what I utter and supplicate, 00:02:15.189 --> 00:02:18.389 And all-knowing of what I intend and desire within myself." 00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:28.060 “And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am delivered of a female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the male is not as the female; and lo! I have named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.” (3:36) 00:02:28.539 --> 00:02:31.580 “And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am delivered of a female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the male is not as the female; and lo! I have named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.” (3:36) 00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.939 "And the male is not like the female." 00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:44.460 “And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am delivered of a female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the male is not as the female; and lo! I have named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.” (3:36) 00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:52.979 “And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am delivered of a female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the male is not as the female; and lo! I have named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.” (3:36) 00:02:54.259 --> 00:02:57.219 So when the wife of 'Imran delivered the child she had consecrated, 00:02:57.780 --> 00:03:01.379 She said, "My Lord, I have given birth to a female," 00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:05.219 Though Allah knew best of all His creation what she had delivered. 00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:09.900 She then said, excusing herself to her Lord for the vow she had made: 00:03:10.539 --> 00:03:12.500 "And the male is not like the female," 00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:16.300 For the male is stronger and better suited for service, 00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:19.740 While the female is unsuited in certain conditions 00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:22.900 Due to the menstruation and post-natal bleeding that affect her. 00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.900 And she said, "And I have named her Mary, 00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:32.900 And I place her and her offspring under Your protection from the accursed Satan." 00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:42.659 “And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37) 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:49.979 “And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37) 00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:55.060 "Every time Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, 00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:58.500 He found with her provision. 00:03:59.060 --> 00:04:03.740 He said, 'O Mary, from where does this come to you?'" 00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:08.180 “And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37) 00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:17.180 “And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37) 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.240 So Allah accepted Mary from her mother, 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.240 Through her dedicating her to the temple and its service, 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.560 And the service of her Lord, with a gracious acceptance. 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.439 Her Lord caused her to grow in His nourishment and sustenance with a goodly growth, 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.959 Until she reached maturity and became a fully grown, complete woman. 00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:41.420 And Allah entrusted Mary to Zechariah, 00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:44.779 “And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.” (3:37) 00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:47.019 Who was the leader of the place of prayer. 00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:50.660 He found with her provision from Allah for her sustenance, 00:04:51.339 --> 00:04:52.379 So Zechariah said, 00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:57.939 "O Mary, from what source is this provision that I see with you?" 00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:00.620 Mary replied to him, saying, 00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:02.420 "It is from Allah." 00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:05.300 Meaning that He is the One who provided it for her, 00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:08.019 Bestowing it upon her and granting it to her. 00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:12.459 Indeed, Allah conveys His provision to whomsoever He wills of His creation 00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:16.819 Without limit or any reckoning required of His servant. 00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:21.740 "At that point Zechariah called upon his Lord," 00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:29.819 “Then Zachariah prayed unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Bestow upon me of Thy bounty goodly offspring. Lo! Thou art the Hearer of Prayer.” (3:38) 00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:35.199 "Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication." 00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:41.490 When Zechariah witnessed what he saw with Mary of Allah's provision and bounty, 00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:42.930 He yearned for a child, 00:05:43.649 --> 00:05:45.970 Hoping that Allah would grant him offspring. 00:05:46.490 --> 00:05:47.089 So he said: 00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:50.970 "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a blessed child; 00:05:51.449 --> 00:05:53.730 Indeed, You are the Hearer of prayer." 00:05:54.829 --> 00:06:06.149 “And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: Allah giveth thee glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John, (who cometh) to confirm a word from Allah lordly, chaste, a prophet of the righteous.” (3:39) 00:06:06.670 --> 00:06:20.310 "That Allah gives you glad tidings of John, confirming a word from Allah, 00:06:20.629 --> 00:06:23.870 And honorable and chaste..." 00:06:24.310 --> 00:06:32.629 “And the angels called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: Allah giveth thee glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John, (who cometh) to confirm a word from Allah lordly, chaste, a prophet of the righteous.” (3:39) 00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:37.819 And the angels called out to him while he stood praying: 00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:42.660 "Allah gives you glad tidings, O Zechariah, of John as a son to you, 00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:45.259 Who will confirm Jesus, the son of Mary, 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:47.980 Noble in knowledge and worship, 00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:50.779 Chaste, abstaining from relations with women, 00:06:51.259 --> 00:06:55.060 And a messenger to his Lord from among His righteous prophets." 00:06:56.430 --> 00:07:05.509 “He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when age hath overtaken me already and my wife is barren? (The angel) answered: So (it will be). Allah doeth what He will.” (3:40) 00:07:06.029 --> 00:07:13.009 "He said, 'Thus Allah does what He wills.'" 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.480 Zechariah said: 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.399 "One who has reached my advanced age does not have children born to him, 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.160 And my wife is barren, unable to give birth." 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:23.680 Allah said: 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.720 "It is easy for Me to create a child from an aged man, 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.839 And from a barren woman who would never be expected to give birth." 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:37.079 For He is Allah, to Whom the creation of anything He wills is never impossible, 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.879 Nor can anything He desires ever be hindered. 00:07:41.860 --> 00:07:44.819 "He said, 'My Lord, make for me a sign.'" 00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:53.579 “He said: My Lord! Appoint a token for me. (The angel) said: The token unto thee (shall be) that thou shalt not speak unto mankind three days except by signs. Remember thy Lord much, and praise (Him) in the early hours of night and morning.” (3:41) 00:07:54.100 --> 00:07:57.740 "'And remember your Lord much, 00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:02.220 And exalt [Him] in the evening and the morning.'" 00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:04.699 Zechariah said: 00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:10.019 "O Lord, if this call that I was addressed with is the voice of Your angels, 00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:12.259 And glad tidings from You to me, 00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:15.899 Then make for me a sign that it is truly so, 00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:22.699 So that any whispered doubt from Satan suggesting it was not the voice of the angels may depart from me." 00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:25.980 So Allah disciplined him for requesting a sign 00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:29.899 After the angels had directly addressed him with the glad tidings, 00:08:30.579 --> 00:08:33.179 And He made his sign come from himself, 00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:35.740 As a purification for his lapse. 00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:37.379 Allah said: 00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:42.899 "Your sign is that you shall not speak to the people for the coming three days, 00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:45.460 Except by gesture and sign, 00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:48.899 Without any dumbness, handicap, or disease. 00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:51.340 And remember your Lord much, 00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:53.620 For you are not prevented from remembering Him, 00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:56.100 And glorify your Lord in worship, 00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:59.220 From the time the sun passes its zenith until it sets, 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:02.659 And from the break of dawn until the forenoon." 00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:12.940 "And [mention] when they said, 'O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you...'" 00:09:13.460 --> 00:09:17.700 “And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.” (3:42) 00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:23.220 “And when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.” (3:42) 00:09:24.710 --> 00:09:26.350 "And when the angels said: 00:09:27.029 --> 00:09:30.830 'O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and selected you for His obedience, 00:09:31.429 --> 00:09:34.230 Purified your faith from doubts and impurities, 00:09:34.549 --> 00:09:39.429 And chosen you above the women of the worlds in your time due to your obedience to Him, 00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:41.429 Favoring you over them.'" 00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.899 The angels said to Mary: 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:56.779 "O Mary, dedicate the worship of your Lord sincerely to His Face, 00:09:57.340 --> 00:10:02.139 Be humble in obedience and worship to Him alongside those of His creation who are humble, 00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:07.139 In gratitude to Him for the honor He bestowed upon you through election and purification." 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:14.600 "That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you..." 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:20.320 “This is of the tidings of things hidden. We reveal it unto thee (Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they threw their pens (to know) which of them should be the guardian of Mary, nor wast thou present with them when they quarrelled (thereupon).” (3:44) 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.679 "...which of them should take charge of Mary..." 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.440 "...which of them should take charge of Mary..." 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:30.720 “This is of the tidings of things hidden. We reveal it unto thee (Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they threw their pens (to know) which of them should be the guardian of Mary, nor wast thou present with them when they quarrelled (thereupon).” (3:44) 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.519 These reports belong to the tidings of the unseen, 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.039 Which We send down to you as divine revelation. 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.200 You were not present with them, O Muhammad, 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:45.879 When they cast their reed pens with which the lot-casters of the Children of Israel drew lots 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.679 Over the guardianship of Mary; 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.159 Nor were you present with Mary's people, O Muhammad, 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.720 When they disputed among themselves over who was most entitled and worthy of her. 00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:14.059 “(And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah).” (3:45) 00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:21.860 “(And remember) when the angels said: O Mary!
