10. (Zachariah) said: "My Lord, make me for me a sign (if this is truly from You)." He said: "Your sign is that you will not (be able) to speak to the people three nights (and days) while sound."
17. So she took a veil (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our (holy) spirit (i.e., the angel Gabriel) who appeared to her in the shape of perfect man.
21. (Gabriel) said: "Thus it will be; your Lord (Allāh) says: "It is easy for Me. And that We may make him a sign to the people and a Mercy from Us. And it is a matter already destined".
23. And the labour made her come to the trunk of a palm tree. She said: "Oh, would that I had died before this, and was a thing forgotten, completely forgotten!”
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 labour 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.
26. So eat and drink and refresh your eyes. Should you see any of the mortal (and talk to you) say: "I have vowed a fast to the Most Compassionate 'Allāh', so I will not speak to any human being today."
35. It does not befit (the Majesty of) Allāh to take unto Himself of any son. Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it: “Be,” and it is.
43. O my father7, there has come to me of Knowledge that which did not come to you, so follow me, I will guide you to an even Path8:
7. 7. I.e., Azar, Terah. He was the Chief Priest of King Nimrod Shaddad of Babylon and Ninevah, and was a master sculptor.
8. I.e., Islam. By following right belief of Allāh where there are no worshipping of images and idols but worship Him alone, right worship of Allāh, right and lawful earning of livelihood, right speech, right conduct, right effort and endeavour, right mindfulness, and right concentration on what makes you closer to Allāh 'God'.
48. And I will withdraw from you and what (the idols) you invoke besides Allāh and I will invoke my Lord; It may be that in invoking my Lord, I will not be wretched."
49. So when (Abraham) had withdrawn them and what (the idols) they worshipped besides Allāh, We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and each one of them We made a Prophet.
9. Allāh granted Enoch the privilege of being taken directly to heaven, escaping the clutches of death. Enoch's transition from his earthly existence to Allah’s presence is a confirmation of the power of faith and the reward of Allāh.
58. These are the ones on whom Allāh bestowed Favors, from among the Prophets of the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the Ship) with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel 'Jacob', and of those whom We guided and chose. When the Verses of the Most Compassionate (Allāh) were recited to them, they fell down prostrating and weeping10.
10. The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two eyes will not be touched by the Fire: an eye which has wept out of fear of God, and an eye which has spent the night guarding in the cause of God."
When a person remembers the greatness of Allāh, His power over His servants, and, at the same time, he recalls his own state and his negligence in fulfilling the rights of Allāh upon him, he weeps in hope of receiving Allah's Mercy and in fear of His Wrath and Punishment. Such a person is promised to be saved from the Hellfire.
61. (Theirs will be) Gardens of Eden which the Most Compassionate (Allāh) has promised to His servants while unseen. Surely it is that, His promise has ever been coming.
64. And We (the angels)12 do not descend except by the Command of your Lord (Allāh). To Him belongs all that is before us, behind us, and in between that. And your Lord is never forgetful.
12. In answer to the Prophet's wish that Gabriel would visit him frequently.
65. Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. So worship Him (alone) and and (indure) patiently in His worship. Do you know of anyone equal (or comparable) to Him (in His Names and Attributes)?”
73. When Our clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: "Which of the two groups is better in station and more decent in assembly?"
75. Say: "Whoever is (entrenched) in misguidance - let the Most Compassionate (Allāh) extend for him an extension (in wealth and time) until when they see what they were threatened with, either the torment (in this world) or the Hour (of Doom); then they will know who is worse in position and weaker in forces.
76. And Allāh increases those who have been 'rightly' guided in guidance. Yet the everlasting righteous deeds are better with your Lord 'Allāh' in reward and better for return14.
14. What Allāh 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. Allāh 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.
97. So surely We have only made it (the Qur’an) easy in your tongue that you may give good news thereby to the righteous, and warn with it a quarrelsome people.
