The story of Isa alaihi salaam and Yahya
alaihi salaam, or just go further, Zakariya alaihi
salaam and Mariam alaihi salaam is mentioned together
right next to each other in the Quran
in Surah Alaihi Salam, in Surah Alaihi Salam,
and even in today's gospel of the yuk.
While focusing on Surah Alaihi Salam because we'll
be reciting 3rd just tonight,
the story of Zakari alaihi salam, we can
learn so many things, but one thing which
we need to learn today is that one
reflection from the Zakari alaihi salaam story coming
right next to Maria alaihi salaam story
is that if you think about it, Zakari
alaihi salaam is getting very old. He's not
able to have a son.
And his wife, whose biblical name is Elizabeth,
after
having so many attempts, they couldn't have a
son. They couldn't have a baby.
And at the end of the day, Allah
after the dua
blessed them with a son called Yahya, John
the Baptist, the biblical name.
On the other hand, Mary or Mariam alayhi
salam,
she did not even try once
to have a physical relationship, but still Allah
out of his divine wisdom, give her a
son,
Jesus, or Quranic name, Raeesah alaihis salam.
Think about it, my brothers and sisters. Both
these stories are coming right next to each
other is a lesson for
us. What is that lesson? 1st,
that Zakaria alayhis salaam, despite of the fact
making so many attempts
of having a baby, for having a child,
but he couldn't have it.
And Mariam alayhi salaam didn't make any effort,
and yet Allah gave her a child. It's
a sign that it's Allah's planning
whom to give and when to give. We
can make an effort.
We can
struggle. But at the end of the day,
results are in the hand of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Sometime you will see
that people who are more qualified than you,
their resume is more heavier than you, but
still, they might not able to find a
job, and you have a better job than
them. It's not about you. It's not about
your skill set. It's not about your talent.
It's about Allah divine
wisdom.
