In the previous article, you have seen that both the Bible and the Quran agree that the Lord Jesus was sent from a Sender who is the one True God
Also, the Lord Jesus accurately determined the difference between the Sender and the sent while the Quran announces the First Miracle of the Lord Jesus-
Moreover, the Quran discloses some lost events happened in the life of Saint Mary as regards her pregnancy and her dialogue with the Angel Gabriel etc. These events are not present in the Bible.
The Sender vs. the Sent in the Quran
You might have no idea about the First Miracle of the Lord Jesus.
Jesus talked while He was few months old, in the cradle!
In this article, the Quran discloses some lost events in the history of Saint Mary in respect to her pregnancy and her dialogue with the Angel Gabriel etc. these events are not present in the Bible.
Required background to understand what happened,
The Story of Saint Mary’s Pregnancy
The Quran declares that Saint Mary withdrew from her people to an eastern place and she took a veil apart from them
Allah sent to her the Angel Gabriel in the resemblance of a perfect human being. And when she saw him she said:
Dialogue between Gabriel and Mary:
Mary said: “I seek refuge from you to (Allah) the merciful: Do not come near if you fear Allah.”
Gabriel said to her: I am only a messenger of Allah that I may bestow on you that Allah may bestow on you a faultless, righteous son
Mary said: How can I have a son when no man has touched me and I have never been sinful
Gabriel said to her: just as I have told you, your Lord says: it is easy for Me to create him without a father. And will make of him a sign to mankind; and it is a matter which has been decreed, a son without a father.
The Birth
Read the verses 19: 22-26
So she conceived him; then withdrew herself with him to a remote place
She said: oh, I wish I would have died before this, and had been a quite forgotten thing!
She was scared of her people which will consider that a very big scandal that deserve killing her. A girl which gets a baby without marriage deserves to be killed. This custom is still workable in the eastern countries up till now.
How Allah saved Mary and honor her and her baby and showed the Jews that He can do anything and everything He wills and also to show them an amazing Miracle?
Mary was very sad and was not able to do anything, she could not come back to her people otherwise, it will be her great scandal and they will kill her!
All of a sudden, her baby talks
He said to her: Do not worry, come back to your people and if you meet any man say to him: “I have vowed a fast to Allah, the merciful, and I will not speak with anyone today.”
This calmed her down and she put her trust in Allah.
Then, she came back to her people, carrying her baby.
And as she expected, they said: O Mary! Surely you have done a shameful thing. How come that you have done that although your father was never an evil man, nor was your mother a harlot!
So she pointed to her baby making a symbol to them that means: talk to him!
Her people replied: ‘how can we speak with a baby in the cradle?
Then the First Miracle of the Lord Jesus appeared!
What the “Baby Lord Jesus” said to them?
The answer will be in the next article
To be continued.
And Allah is the Witness.
