So if they dispute with you then say, “”I have submitted myself (totally) to Allah and (so have) those who follow me,”” and say to those who were given the book and those who are not learned, “”Do you submit?”” So if they submit, then indeed they are rightly guided, but if they turn away then (the responsibility) upon you is only conveyance of the message and Allah is the Seer of His servants. (R 2)
Convey the news of a painful punishment to those who do not believe in the signs of Allah and slay the prophets without being on the right and slay those who enjoin justice from among human beings.
Those are the persons whose deeds have become fruitless in the world and the hereafter, and they have no helpers.
Did you not consider those who were given a part of the book? (When) they are called towards the book of Allah that it may decide between them, then a sect of them turn back and they keep away.
That is because they say, “”The fire shall not touch us except for a certain number of days.”” And that which they have forged deceives them in their religion.
So how will it be when We will gather them on a day, about which there is no doubt,, and every soul will be paid in full for that which it earned and injustice will not be done to them.
Say,””O Allah! owner of authority, You give authority to whom You will, and You take away authority from whom You will, and You give the might to whom You will and You disgrace whom You will, in Your hand is good, You certainly have power over everything.
You make the night to enter into the day and You make the day to enter into the night and You bring out the living from the dead and You bring out the dead from the living and You provide without measure to whom You will.””
Do not let the believers take infidels as friends besides believers, and whoever does that then there is nothing (for him) from Allah in anything, except that you guard yourselves against them guarding carefully, and Allah makes you cautious of Himself and towards Allah is the destination.
Say, “”Whether you hide that which is in your bosoms or manifest it, Allah knows it, and He knows whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth and Allah has power over everything.
The day every soul will find that which it did of good present (before it) along with that which it did of evil, it shall wish that between it (soul) and the (evil) there were a long distance. And Allah makes you cautious of Himself and Allah is full of pity for (His) servants.”” (R 3)
Say, “”If you love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and protectively forgive you your sins and Allah is Protectively Forgiving, Merciful.””
Say, “”Obey Allah and the messenger.”” But if they turn away, then Allah certainly does not like the infidels.
Allah certainly selected Adam and Nuh and the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above the worlds.
Some of them were offspring of the others, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
When the wife of Imran said, “”My Fosterer! I vow to you that which is in my womb to be set free (for your service), so accept (it) from me. You are certainly Hearing, Knowing.””
This indicates that those dedicated as priests for the service of Allah (SWT) could also marry and bear children. But Maryam’s mother appears to have no knowledge that Maryam (PBH) was to remain a virgin and not to marry anyone. 66:12. Maryam (PBH) was given under the care of Zakariyya (PBH) for her religious training. Whenever he entered her room he used to find food with her, which was obviously not supplied by him, therefore he was surprised and inquired about its source. She said, ‘It was from Allah “3:37.”
Then when she delivered it, she said, “”My Fosterer! I have delivered it a female.”” And Allah knew best what she had delivered, and the male is not like the female. “”And I have named her Maryam and I seek Your protection for her and her offspring, from the devil, the outcast.””
So her Fosterer accepted her with a good acceptance and made her (Maryam) grow into a good growth and gave her into the guardianship of Zakariyya. Whenever Zakariyya entered the sanctuary to (see) her, he found provision (food) with her, he said, “”O Maryam! from where (does) this (provision) come to you?”” She said, “”It is from (that which is) with Allah.”” Allah certainly provides without measure to whom He wills.
1. His extreme old age and
2. the barrenness of his wife. In reply to this he was informed that he and his wife would have a son in these existing conditions because Allah (SWT) does whatever He wills – He is not bound by His own rules which He can break whenever He wills to perform miracles. The sign of Zakariyya (PBH) and his wife having made fit to have son would be that he would not be able to talk for three days.”
There did Zakariyya pray to his Fosterer saying, “”O my Fosterer! grant me from Yourself good offspring, You are certainly the Hearer of prayer.””
So when he stood worshipping in the sanctuary, the angels announced to him that, “”Allah conveys to you the good news of Yahya, confirmer of the word from Allah and a chief, and chaste and a prophet from among the righteous.””
