Lesson
‘as-tafaaki – (you are chosen), besides choosing it also means liking and selecting.
The word Mustafaa has also come out
of it, which means chosen and selected.
Holy
Qur’an does not verify only past Scriptures and Prophets (peace be upon them),
but it confuted strongly also the misunderstandings which were born about them
(Heavenly Books and Prophets) and the disbelievers had accused and charged
falsely against them.
The
children of Israel had published stupid sayings about the birth of Jesus
Christ, his mother (peace be upon them), other persons of their family and
likewise in connection with their teachings. Holy Qur’an refuted all of them.
Therefore, it commands that:
Allah
Almighty said to Mary through His Angels (peace be upon them) that He has
chosen you to bestow His blessings and favors. He has accepted you (peace be
upon her) in His dedication and made you pure, and has preferred you above all
the women of creation. For example that, “You will bring forth the Prophet
(peace be upon them) likewise Jesus Christ without to be touched by any male
person. This beauty has not been given to any other woman of the entire world.
Then Allah
Almighty commanded Mary (peace be upon her), “While you have been given such
higher grade and honor, you should be obedient to your Lord, prostrate yourself
and bow with those who bow in worship”.
These
verses manifest that Allah Almighty specifies the person for His favor and
bounty to whom He wills. He reveals His blessings upon him/her and bestows preference
over others. The humankind should worship their Lord, bow themselves before Him
and do worship with those who bow.
It is the
best method to be grateful to Allah Almighty. He likes very much the contribution
and submission of His servants. The person who thanks One God (Allah Almighty)
on His blessings, He reveals more blessings upon him/her.
