The Story Of Mary And Her Son

Allah chose Mary

Maryam,

the daughter of Imran,

to be the person to carry

this great prophet of Allah, this great word

of Allah

whom the soul blown by Allah into the

Virgin Mary in a way that she found

herself

expecting a miracle child without the involvement of

any male. So the Islamic version, which we

believe is the true, the accurate, the unchanged

version, is that

Joseph was not actually the husband or married

to Mariam, may peace be upon her. She

was a virgin.

And when she found herself expecting and when

the angel came to her to tell her

that you're expecting a child,

you're expecting a miracle child, a prophet of

Allah. She immediately questioned, how is this possible?

And she was told it's by the instruction

of Allah. And Allah will help.

Allah will help. Allah will guide. Allah will

give. Allah will clear your name and Allah

has made him a prophet and Allah has

made him one of the highest prophets. If

I were to ask you who are the

highest prophets, would you know their names? There

are 5.

5 of them. Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam, Ibrahim

alayhi salam,

Musa alaihi wasallam. So Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

Abraham, may peace be upon him. Moses, may

peace be upon him. Jesus, may peace be

upon him. And Noah, may peace be upon

him. These are the 5 highest ranking prophets

of Allah. Allah mentions them in the Quran

in more than one place. Let me read

one of the verses.

What a beautiful verse. Surah Al Ahzaab. Allah

Almighty

mentions all those 5 in one verse. And

Allah calls them

They were the highest ranking of the prophet

of the prophets of Allah.

They went through lives that Allah has mentioned

most of in the Quran. The Quran is

filled with stories of the prophets. The prophet

mentioned the most in the Quran is

is

Musa alayhi salam. Moses, may peace be upon

him, well done. And then Allah makes mention

of other prophets, Ibrahim alayhi salam. Jesus, may

peace be upon him. There is an entire

surah or chapter in the Quran named after

Mary Maryam,

may peace be upon her, the mother of

Jesus, may peace be upon him. And Allah

mentions this whole story of how he was

born and how

everything happened and what he said when he

was born. What happened when people accused Mary

of doing something illegitimate or immoral.

And Allah cleared her by making the child

speak in the cradle. That's one of the

miracles of Jesus. And he has had thousands

of major miracles in his life.

We'll mention some of them. But one of

them was,

and this one is not mentioned in the

old testament or the Christian version of it.

We believe that he spoke from the cradle.

He spoke from the cradle,

clarifying who he was. When people accused his

mother,

They looked at Mary and they said, you

know what? You've come with something immoral,

something sinful. Your father was a good man.

Your mother was a good woman. They were

not immoral, immodest. They were chaste. SubhanAllah. Clean,

pure, not like this. All she did by

the instruction of Allah.

Allah told her, you just point towards the

child. Little baby in the cradle, newly born.

What's going to happen?

Allah says, you don't worry. Just point at

the child.

They said,

They said, how do you expect us to

speak to someone who is in a cradle?

A little baby in a cradle, you want

him to talk?

And he opened his mouth and he says,

Words that he said are mentioned in the

Quran in Surat Maryam. Allah says, He says,

I am the servant of Allah, a slave

of Allah.

Allah has made me a prophet and given

me a book.

Subhanallah.

Speaking about what is just going to happen.

And Allah has made me blessed wherever I

am.
