Ep 306 - The Trial of Maryam (AS) | Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif - Qur'an Tafseer Series

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains verses 16–26 of Surah Maryam, where Allah ﷻ tells us the story of Maryam and the great test she faced with patience and faith. Maryam withdraws from her family in seclusion, and Allah sends Jibrīl to her in the form of a man. Fearing Allah, she immediately seeks refuge in the Most Merciful, showing her purity and taqwā. Jibrīl gives her the news of a pure son, and when she wonders how this could happen, she is reminded that nothing is difficult for Allah. This child would be a sign for people and a mercy from Him. As Maryam carries this burden alone, the pains of childbirth drive her to a palm tree, where she expresses her deep grief and loneliness. Yet Allah ﷻ comforts her, providing a stream beneath her and fresh dates from the tree. These verses teach us that even in moments of fear, pain, and isolation, Allah’s mercy is near, His decree is perfect, and His help can arrive in ways we never imagined. -------------------------------------------------------- To share in the reward and support GLMCC, please donate here: https://www.greenlanemasjid.org/donate/ Another great way to help the Masjid is to set up a 67p a day (£20 a month) Direct Debit.
