Prophet Jesus(PBUH)
At the time he was born the land was occupied by the Romans
The Roman of course were Pagans
And then you had the Jews who were really secularist, by the standards of that day
Even to the extent that Herod The King; was nothing really except a Roman puppet
He was a king, he was the king of Israel
But he was just a puppet of The Romans
The Jews, they rejected the message of Jesus
And a very small group believed in him
And these were The Disciples, the rest of the community
Whether it was the community itself, which were the Jews.
or the authority which were the Romans
They rejected the message of Eesa (AS)
His evnvironment was very very difficult
And he went through firmly severe situations
In the short time that he spent in Dawah and he was accused of many things
The problem is that he was accused with things that
are very very difficult for a human being to accept
They accused his mother, and they accused him
And the accusations that the Jews raised again Eesa AS,
all of this was a test for the Sabr;
And the patience of Eesa AS
Allah(Swt) says...
that The Angels came to Maryam
and delivered to her the news that she has been chosen by Allah
and Allah(SWT) has purified you
and Allah(SWT) has chosen you above all the women in the world [03:42]
and then The Angels are conveying to her the orders of Allah(SWT)
O Mary; Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord,
and prostrate to yourself and bow down; With the ones who bow down [03:43]
Maryam, when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east [19:16]
Maryam was currently living in Bayt-Al-Maqdis from Jerusalem
she went outside towards the East
and she took in seclusion from them a screen
then we sent to her one of our Angels
and he represented himself to her as a well proportioned man [19:17]
She said: "Indeed I seek refuge in the most merciful from you, if you should
be fearing God" 19:18
and he The Angel said: I am only the Messenger of your Lord, to give you news of a
pure boy [19:19]
and she says: How can I have a boy while no man has touched me?
and I have not been unchaste [19:20]
He said: Thus it will be; your Lord says: "It is easy for me"
We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from us
and it is a matter decreed 19:21
So the Angel Jibril is telling her; This is something that you cannot argue with
The Angel Jibril; He came to Maryam and he blew in to her
And Eesa was created by the Kalima; The word, and that is 'Kun'; 'Kun Fayakun',
That is how Eesa was created; So she became pregnant
and she withdrew with him to a far place: Bethlehem
and it seems that her pregnanct was concealed and nobody knew about it
and when she felt that her delivery was approaching, she left Jerusalem
She started feeling the pain of delivey, so she fell down under a palm tree
Imagine this situation, Maryam AS has been hiding this pregnancy
and now she's leaving out of her town, alone with no help
and now she's feeling that pain, and she falls down under a palm tree
It was so difficult on her
She said: Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten
out of sight [19:23]
I wish I had died before this, she was chaste and righteous
and now she is going to deliver a child and she has never been married
and she knows the tongues of the people
and she knows the harm that they would cause her and her family
the righteous family of Al-Imran
In that moment of difficulty Allah(SWT) provided her with Sakinah;
Allah (SWT) says; she heard a voice from beneath her
do not grieve, your Lord has provided a water stream under you [19:24]
and shake the trunk of the date palm towards you, and it will let fresh ripe dates
fall upon you [19:25]
so eat and drink and be glad
and if you see from among humanity anyone say:
indeed I have vowed to the most merciful abstention
so I will not speak to any man today [19:26]
then she brought him to her people; Carrying him and they said:
O Mary you have certainly done a thing unprecedented [19:27]
O sister of Aaron; Your father was not a man of evil
nor was your mother unchaste [19:28]
so she pointed to the baby Jesus; She points to Eesa(AS)
speak to who? To a baby,
This baby can't even move a finger, how is he going to speak?
