news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus,
son of Mary, of high esteem in this world and the
Hereafter, and one of those brought near." (Surah Al
'Imran, 45)
In the Qur'an, the expression "Allah's Word" is only used for
the Prophet Jesus (pbuh). Allah revealed his name before his birth
and named him "Messiah Jesus," as a Word from Him. This is an-
other sign that The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) creation differs from that
of all other people.
Allah sustained Mary in the best way during her pregnancy
and the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) birth, and also guided her. He made
the environmental conditions favorable for her, for since she had
removed herself from her family and community, she was all
alone. With the help of Allah, Mary managed this difficult situa-
tion by herself and gave birth to her son without any complica-
tions. Allah reveals His grace for Mary in the following verses:
The pains of labor drove her to the trunk of a date-palm.
She exclaimed: "Oh if only I had died before this time and
was something discarded and forgotten!" A voice called
out to her from under her: "Do not grieve. Your Lord has
placed a small stream at your feet. Shake the trunk of the
palm toward you, and fresh, ripe dates will drop down to
you. Eat and drink and delight your eyes. If you should see
anyone at all, just say: 'I have made a vow of abstinence to
the All-Merciful, and today I will not speak to any human
being.'" (Surah Maryam, 23-26)
As the verses tell, Allah helped Mary with revelation and told
her not to lose heart. He revealed to her everything that she needed
to know, and ensured that she would have an easy birth. Allah's
grace and protection for her are shown in this event.
