So every time I get to recite surah Maryam and Taha, I always look forward to reciting the verses 'و ما كان ربك نسبا'(19:64) 'And your Lord is not one who forgets' and the verse when Musa peace be upon him is talking to pharoah and Musa says about Allah 'لا يضل ربي ولا ينسى' (20:52) 'He does not err nor does He forget' Because it kinda reminds me of the fact whatever you go through in life, Allah will never forget.

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?
بیشک اللہ پاک کے حکم کے بغیر کوئی بھی کچھ بی نہیں کرسکتا ۔ اللہ پاک سب باتوں کا علم رکھنے والا رب ہے ہمارے ماضی حال اور مستقبل سب کا علم میرے رب کے پاس ہے وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے کوئی چیز اس سے چھپی ہوئی نہیں ہے۔ پھر ہم کیوں اپنے فیصلوں میں اللہ پاک پر بھروسہ نہیں رکھتے جبکہ میرا رب تو کچھ نہیں بھولتا اللہ پاک ہمیں ہدایت عطا فرمائے آمین
