Subhanallah. Maryam, peace be upon her, has always been such a role model for me. As a Muslimah, seeing a woman endure the worst accusations, dealing alone with her child, and facing humiliation while completely relying on Allah SWT, moves me. One thing that surprised me when I first read the translation of Surah Maryam was Maryam, peace be upon her, seeking refuge in Ar-Rahman as soon as she saw a man—which in this case was Jibrael, peace be upo...See more

The Purity of Maryam (ʿalayhā as-salām)
Allah explicitly tells Maryam that He has purified her. This purity was more than just a title, it was a lived reality, proven through her devotion, her worship, and her time alone with Allah.(See verses 19:16-19)
Her purity was tested when she was approached in solitude by an angel who appeared as a well-formed man. In that moment, away from people and the public eye, she immediately sought refuge in Ar-...See more
When mentioning the chastity and piety of Yousef AS, we should also remember that of Maryam AS who was sent an angel in the shape of a perfectly formed man while she was worshipping in seclusion. The first thing she thought of doing when seeing him was to seek refuge in Allah from him, as well as reminding him to fear Allah SWT. Now compare this with the women of Yousef AS who could not control themselves publicly while in his presence.
Bilal May Allah be pleased with him stopped giving the athan after the prophet peace be upon him passed away as it would remind him of the blessed prophet.
I never truly understood this concept untill I had to recite these surahs after my mother الله يرحمها passed away. Tbh I’ve been avoiding these surahs because of the emotional weight they have on me now.
I still love these Surah , but there is this memory attached to them now that I recite...See more

Isn't it so interesting that Zechariah (a), a healthy adult, couldn't speak for 3 days and then a few ayahs later, we read that Isa (a), a newborn baby, could speak clearly?
Has anyone reflected upon/compared these 2 events? I'd love to read your reflections and any lessons you can share. JAK.
In addition to being from amongst the greatest woman of mankind, their is another hidden wisdom as to why Maryam AS is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran.
The Arabs of old, especially the elites amongst them (kings, noblemen, etc.) would never mention the names of their wives publicly because to them this was degrading to their honor as they held their wives too sacred to allow for their names to be on the tongues or ears of other men...See more

God (swt) frames the story of Zakaria's duaa by introducing it as a mercy from Him. As Zakaria is making his duaa, we're listening to him and we already know that God is having mercy with him. He's Merciful in listening to Zakaria, He's Merciful in answering him immediately, He's Merciful in allowing him to empty his heart of all concern before gifting him a son. What other mercies is God showing His slave?
