Verset: 1

كٓهيعٓصٓ

The Arabs at the time of revelation were the unrivaled masters of the Arabic language and yet when challenged were totally unable to bring anything like the Qur’an. Despite this fact, the inimitable nature of the Qur’an and its divine source, God knows best the meaning of these disjointed Arabic letters.

25. And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates⁵:

5. It is clear from this Verse that Jesus actually born in summer not winter, as fresh dates are only produced in the summer. According to this Verse, during labor Mary was told to shake a palm tree so that ripe dates would fall off. This description, combined with the ripening period of dates places the birth of Jesus somewhere between June and August – something to do in warmer weather, not in the chilly December air of Bethlehem. But why December 25th, you ask? Well, it's like grabbing a date that already has party vibes. The Romans were already celebrating Saturnalia (a big winter festival), and lost Christians might have thought, "Hey, let's have our celebration around this time too!"

Verset: 26

فَكُلِي وَٱشۡرَبِي وَقَرِّي عَيۡنٗاۖ فَإِمَّا تَرَيِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡبَشَرِ أَحَدٗا فَقُولِيٓ إِنِّي نَذَرۡتُ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِ صَوۡمٗا فَلَنۡ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ إِنسِيّٗا

27. Then she came to her people, carrying him (the baby). They said: "Maryam, you have committed something monstrous."

Verset: 28

يَٰٓأُخۡتَ هَٰرُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ ٱمۡرَأَ سَوۡءٖ وَمَا كَانَتۡ أُمُّكِ بَغِيّٗا

28. Oh sister of Aaron, your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman."

Verset: 29

32. And (made me) dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me arrogant, miserable;

Verset: 33

وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَيَّ يَوۡمَ وُلِدتُّ وَيَوۡمَ أَمُوتُ وَيَوۡمَ أُبۡعَثُ حَيّٗا

33. So peace (from Allah) for me the day I born, the day I die, and the Day I will be resurrected."

Verset: 34

ذَٰلِكَ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡحَقِّ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ يَمۡتَرُونَ

34. Such is Jesus, the son of Mary - a word of Truth about which they dispute.

Verset: 35

مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ مِن وَلَدٖۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمۡرٗا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

35. It is not befitting for (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take for Himself a son, Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: “Be,” and it is.

Verset: 36

37. But the (Christian) sects differed among themselves⁶. So woe to those who deny (the Truth) from the scene of a tremendous Day.

Verset: 38

أَسۡمِعۡ بِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصِرۡ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتُونَنَا لَٰكِنِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

38. How clearly shall they hear and see on the Day (of Resurrection) when they come to Us (Allah). Yet the workers of iniquity this Day are in manifest error.

Verset: 39

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَسۡرَةِ إِذۡ قُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ وَهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

42. When he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship (an idol) that neither hears nor sees, nor benefits you in any way?

Verset: 43

76. Allah increases those who are guided, in guidance. The righteous deeds that endure are better in the Sight of your Lord (Allah) in reward and better in return¹³.

13. What Allah reminds us here is that we should not get caught up in the pursuit of worldly rewards at the expense of the Hereafter. We should work for success in both, keeping in mind that the rewards of this world are transient and those of the Hereafter are eternal. Allah emphasizes the quality of permanence, drawing our attention to how it contrasts with worldly blessings like wealth and children. Once this contrast is established strongly in our minds, we are then informed of the way we can attain these permanent blessings – by engaging in acts of righteousness. Nothing causes worry for human beings more than the loss of what we have, the loss of wealth, of health, and the inevitable loss of youth. There is no stronger context, then, for us to be reminded of the enduring value of our good deeds.
