			She didn't run away and don't say,
well, she was Miriam even Jono
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:11
			Jonah ran away. He was a prophet
better than all of us, better than
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15
			all of us. Mariam, she didn't run
away
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			from something that would have
been so incredibly difficult. I
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			just, I can't even, I can't even.
It's difficult sometimes to face
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			family members because you broke
their favorite mug.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			You don't want to bring the mug in
and say, oh gosh,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			you know, I broke the mug. Sorry.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			She or valuable, whatever she came
with a baby,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			a baby,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			and had the expectation, the full
expectation, that Allah spent out
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			would take care of her and the
baby spoke
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			in Allah
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			Miriam's story is a story of
miracles.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			Her own birth, the temple
accepting her at all. Temple back
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			then didn't take in women. Don't
forget.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:19
			The temple accepting her at all.
Her uncle Zakaria also miracle in
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			the birth of Yahya
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:27
			Miriam's life, the coming of
Jibreel Gabriel to her miracle in
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			the form of a human being.
Miracle,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			her shaking of a tree. Miracle,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			a baby that spoke miracle,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			Miracle after miracle after
miracle. If she was a young woman,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			some of the misogyny in the world
today would have us believe that
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			somehow women are not worthy of
miracles, or somehow that women
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			are not quite as good as men,
unfortunately, we have in
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			different places and spaces in the
Muslim community,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			people that feel it's okay to make
jokes about women,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			to look down on women, to not
allow women on mustard boards, to
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:22
			not understand the incredible
contributions that women make to
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			community,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			but we stand in mediums shade, Ali
has Salam
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:40
			and whatever anybody else might
say or think or do, we stand
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			firmly two feet on the ground,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:52
			and our hearts able to expand and
accept our life conditions,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			whatever they are, and find the
hair in it, find what is it was
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			that? What do we need to learn
from these conditions?
