41. FIRST SPEECH OF SAYYIDUNA ‘ISA
When Sayyidatuna Maryam returned to her village ofBani Israel with Sayyiduna ‘Isa in her lap, the people blamed her of fornication and they started saying, ‘O Maryam! You have committed a very shameful act. There was no immorality in your parents’ character and neither was your mother a fornicator. So how have you given birth to a child without a husband?’ When the people crossed the limits of badmouthing Sayyidatuna Maryam remained silent but asked people to ask everything from the child. The people said, ‘What! Why and how can we converse with this child? He is still a baby in the cradle’. Upon hearing these comments from the people, Sayyiduna ‘Isa started his speech which has been related by Allah in the Holy Quran in the following words:
The child proclaimed, ‘I am Allah’s bondman; He has given me the Book and made me the communicator of the Unseen (a Prophet). And He has made me blessed wherever I be; and ordained upon me prayer and poor due, as long as I live. And has made me dutiful to my mother and not made me vigorous, ill-fated. And peace is upon me the day I was born, and on the day I shall taste death, and on the day I will be raised alive’.
Moral:
1. This is a miracle of Sayyiduna ‘Isa that just after his birth, he delivered such a comprehensive speech. In this speech, first of all, he declared himself a bondsman
of Allah so that no one may call him god or the son of god as people were going to blame him so in the times to come. And. Therefore, it was the natural aspect of his Prophethood to firstly dismiss the false accusation that was going to be made towards
Allah before dismissing the blame on his mother. Allah is the Most Majestic and Magnificent. Whosoever. He blesses with Prophethood, certainly his birth is pure and
the majestic signs of his Prophethood are made well apparent since his birth.
2. In this part of Surah Maryam, Allah has comprehensively mentioned the Milad [birth] of Sayyiduna ‘Isa and in the end, there is the mention of Salam. From this, we come
to know that celebrating the birth of the Beloved and BlessedProphet and reciting Salat-o-Salam in the end is the tradition [Sunnah] of Allah and same is the tradition of the Ahl-us-Sunnah wa-Jama’at.
3. We have also come to know from the abovementioned speech of Sayyiduna ‘Isa that Salah, Zakah and kind conduct towards parents are such obligations that were also obligatory in the Shari’ah of Sayyiduna ‘Isa
