44. These are
accounts from the Unseen, which We reveal to you. You were not with them when
they cast their lots as to which of them would take charge of Mary; nor were
you with them as they quarreled. |
In this verse, God has described in corroboration of the claim of Prophet-hood in respect of the Messenger of Islam, Muhammad (ﷺ). “We have taught entire past happenings which the Last Prophet (ﷺ) has been causing the people to hear. The Messenger (ﷺ) has absolutely not invented them himself. Its proof is that, apparently the Messenger (ﷺ) is totally illiterate. He (ﷺ) did never attend company of any person who believed in one of the previous inspired Scriptures of God, so that he might know from them about these occurrences. Moreover, suppose! If he would have remained with them, then you may know that those people had also not the correct knowledge. They had fallen in whims’ worship. They had changed the correct incidents. So it is clear that these entire facts, for instance; to vow the mother of Mary, birth of Mary, acceptance of petition by God, fostering and security of Mary, supplication of Prophet Zachariah (Peace be upon him), birth of John, glad tidings regarding Jesus (Peace be upon them) etc. How these entire facts might be known by the Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ) without the source of the revelation from God”?
After adducing the above-mentioned proof in favor of Messenger-hood of Muhammad (ﷺ), God has begun again the description of Mary (Peace be upon her).
Mary (Peace be upon her) was accepted in vow. Then she was sent for the duty of the Temple of Jerusalem. Then there was a problem regarding her goodly growth. It was settled that lot should be drawn for her guardianship. The form of lot was proposed that all the attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem should leave their own pens (by which they used to write Torah), into the flowing water. Whose pen turns towards the direction of coming water, he would be guardian of Mary. Therefore, it was done so. The pen of Prophet Zachariah (Peace be upon him) did not flow towards the direction of flowing water but it changed its direction and returned. So responsibility regarding bringing up Mary was imposed to him (Peace be upon them). Zachariah (Peace be upon him) was really a well learned and one versed in religious matters, and he (Peace be upon him) was also maternal uncle of Mary (Peace be upon them). Consequently, the Right reached the Rightful with the Will of God.
God recognized again that Muhammad (ﷺ) was not present at that time when the attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem were leaving their pens into the water for taking decision regarding a guardian for Mary (Peace be upon her). But in spite of it, Muhammad (ﷺ) accrued this knowledge by means of the Divine Revelation. Even after this argument of God, those people who deny the Messenger-hood of Muhammad (ﷺ), they went astray, they have lost the Straight Path. Severe threat is for them. It is clear evident from this verse that Holy Qur’an is not the collection of stories and tales. It is the Book for Guidance and which incidents and facts are written in It, those are for manifesting of its purpose.
