35. (Remember) when the wife of
‘Imran said: My Lord! I have vowed unto Thee that which is in my belly
as a consecrated (offspring). Accept it from me. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the
Hearer, the Knower!
36. And when she brought forth she
said: My Lord! Lo! I have brought it forth a female. And Allah knew best of
what she brought forth- and the male is not as the female; and lo! I have
named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy protection for her and for her offspring
from Satan the outcast.

Lesson
‘imra-‘atu ‘Imraana – (spouse of Imran),
her name was Hunnah bint e
Faaquuz. She had made a vow unto Allah Almighty according to the custom of
her time that, which offspring was in her belly, she would set it free in the
name of God Almighty. It meant, “That child would worship Allah Almighty and
serve the Church always being free from all worldly works”. She prayed also, “O
my Lord! Accept it with Your kindness from me. You are the Hearer of my supplication,
and You know my aim as You are the Knower”.
As though, that woman prayed; indicating for
the birth of a son to her (offspring). But her hope did not come up and a
daughter was born from her. Therefore, she said with grief, “My Lord! Lo! I
have brought forth a female”. God Almighty commanded her that her daughter was
very auspicious, she did not know that her daughter would bring forth a blessed
and honorable son (Prophet Jesus Christ (peace be upon him).
Wife of Imran supplicated in the Court of God
Almighty, “I have named her Mary, and I crave Your protection for her and for
her offspring; from Satan the outcast”. Allah Almighty accepted her supplication.
We have learnt from this narration that, “Although; every kind of badness had
been grown in the children of Israel in those days, but even then, some people from
them did exist who used to love Allah Almighty and they used to endow their
children for the religious duty.
