In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The story of Maryam bint Imran
Peace be upon her
Mary is raised in the house of prophecy
From God's blessing upon the girl
To be raised in a good home
Between two good parents
Or that God will provide for her someone who will raise her from childhood to obey God.
From her brothers or sisters
Or whom God makes subject to it
And this blessing
But a sensible, intelligent girl will benefit from it
A pure, honest, and righteous person
We have seen it in this time
Whoever has this blessing has the grace of God
But she rebels against it under the pretext of freedom
Called for by feminist ideas
Advocates of corrupting girls
Then the result will be bitter
Losing the girl
And losing this blessing because of not being grateful
We have seen those who regretted this behavior
After seeing the disaster that befell her
By rebelling against the upbringing of her righteous parents
As for the sensible and intelligent girl
She benefited from the good environment that God prepared for her
She lives in a happiness that only those who taste it know
Maryam, daughter of Imran, peace be upon him
For whom God provided a good environment to be raised in
She is from the family of the Prophet, may God bless the worlds
She was raised in the house of a prophet of God
She was among good people
God destined her to be born an orphan
May another of God’s blessings be fulfilled upon the girl
He knows it from those who studied the biography of orphans and God’s care for them
And consider, dear sister, what God Almighty says
In enumerating his blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
Where he said: Did he not find you an orphan and take you in?
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, urged sponsoring an orphan
He explained its virtue and reward in the afterlife, saying:
I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like this
He said with his index and middle fingers
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
This is the great reward for sponsoring an orphan
It indicates the greatness of the responsibility in this guarantee
The guarantee is not limited to a few dinars
The sponsor provides it to a charitable organization that collects money for orphans
Then he does not know anything about the orphan
The reward for which is Paradise in the company of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
It is much greater than that
Sponsorship is education and care
And following up on the interests of the orphan
Taking care of his money and developing it
Preserving it and spending on the orphan unless necessary
This meaning was clear to the righteous in the time of Maryam, daughter of Imran
Therefore, they competed to sponsor her
Whoever wins this reward and great reward
God Almighty said
This is news of the unseen that we reveal to you
And you were not with them when they were laying down their pens
Which one of them will sponsor Mary?
And you were not with them when they disputed
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said
As for their pens
Their arrows were used by those who were accused of the children of Israel
On Maryam's sponsorship
Ibn Attiya, may God have mercy on him, said
And the majority of scholars
As an illusion to take it and compete in it
Ibn Katheer, may God have mercy on him, said
They voted regarding Maryam as to which of them would sponsor her
This is due to their desire for reward
The result was what God chose for her
For Mary to be raised in the house of one of his prophets
God Almighty said
Zechariah sponsored her
Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
And he sponsored her
That is, joining it to Zechariah
Because kafalah originally means annexation
He included her in his care
This was by God's will
As a result of a vote among them
This is because the righteous people among her people disputed over who would sponsor her
So they cast ballots
The lot was for the Prophet of God, Zechariah
And so God Almighty said
This is news of the unseen that we reveal to you
And you were not with them when they were laying down their pens
Which one of them will sponsor Mary?
And you were not with them when they disputed
That pure saint was under the care of a prophet
She was raised in the cradle of prophecy
So that she and her daughter may be a sign to the worlds
And the sponsorship of the Prophet of God, Zechariah, for Mary
He made her grow up in the house of prophecy
It is taken from the morals and worship of the Holy Prophet Zechariah, peace and blessings be upon him
Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
Zechariah sponsored her
Count this in the virtues of Mary
Because, among other things, it increases its virtue
Because the father of education earns his character and righteousness as his educator
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and gave her a beautiful plant
That is, I had a strange upbringing
Religious moral literary
Her circumstances were complete
She corrected her words and actions
And its perfection grew in it
May God make Zechariah easy for her
This is a blessing from God to the servant
To make whoever is responsible for his upbringing one of the perfect and righteous people
Here a question arises
Why did people rush to sponsor Mary?
And the answer
Because they all realized that a girl needs a man to protect and take care of her
Even if this girl was Mary, peace be upon him
Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, said
This is Mary
She needed someone to sponsor her and hug her
So they rushed to bail her out
How about other women?
This is known from experience
A woman needs protection and maintenance that a boy does not need
Everything was more concealing and sounder for her
It was better for her
That's why her dress was legitimate
Clothes that cover her
Whoever wears men's clothing is cursed
It is a man's duty
Check on the conditions of the girl under his care
He inquires about her concerns
As Zechariah did with Mary, peace be upon him
God Almighty said
So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance
And grow it a good plant
Zechariah sponsored her
Whenever Zechariah entered the sanctuary,
He found livelihood there
He said: O Mary, I am yours for this
She said it is from God
God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
Whenever Zechariah entered the sanctuary,
He found livelihood there
That is, without gain or effort
Rather, God provided his leg with it
And a dignity that God honored her with
And Zechariah tells her
I give you this
She said it is from God
Please and benevolence
God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning
That is, without any consideration from the servant or any gain
Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
The Prophet of God was amazed at this provision
And it was no wonder
Except because he doesn't know its cause
Even if he knew that they were gifts that came to her
What a surprise
Her answer was the answer of the righteous gods
She said it is from God
She confirmed that it was God’s provision
That's why she came with conscience
Then she confirmed this in a way that removes the astonishment
And she said
God provides for whomever He wills without reckoning
That is, God's provision is abundant and unlimited
And it is not appreciated as much
Therefore, it is not limited by calculation
It does not apply to numbers that end
A girl should not be upset when her guardian loses her situation
Rather, she should be happy about it
Because this inspection is evidence of the guardian’s interest and care for her
But what was the provision that came to Mary, peace be upon her?
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
