Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 27-33Verses 34-35

      At last Mary went back to her family with the baby in her arm! When her family saw that; they were all struck with astonishment! They trembled to see the baby in her arm, and thought the worst of her. They whispered to one another; how shamelessly had she disgraced her lineage!? Some near relatives reproached her saying:ِ

      ``O, Mary! What a wonderfully bad thing have you done!?''

      Another with an ironical utterance said to her:ِ

      ``O, SISTER OF AARON! Your father was not a bad man, nor was your mother a woman unchaste.''

      That, they called her the ``SISTER OF AARON'', various explanations have been given. Some commentators think that, AARON here is an example, and the symbol, of a virtuous man; and when someone was to be admired for virtue and piety, the Israelites would call him or her, the brother or the sister of AARON.

 

      Some expounders of Qurän think that, the title of AARON'S SISTER, given to Mary by her relatives is a heavy irony! Aaron was the head of the lineage of the Israelites priesthood. Mary too was of a priestly family, and the Jewish priests were supposed to be the brothers and sisters of priests. So in a taunting language she is called, ``O, PRIESTESS! or O, SISTER OF AARON.

      But how could Mary answer the reproaches, and explain to them the event as it had really happened? And how could her relatives accept her curious explanation? She was seen to them very helpless, but, sure enough she pointed to her child to mean, ask my baby any question you have!

      They said:ِ ``How do you want us to speak to a baby who is slept in his cradle?''

      And a miracle revealed, and her baby in the cradle began to preach:ِ

      ``Leave her alone and don't blame my innocent mother! I am the servant of Allah, and my Lord has given me Book, and has made me a prophet! He has made me a blessing and useful wherever I be, and has ordered me to perform prayer, and to pay alms, so long as I am alive; and to honour my mother and do good to her.''

      Jesus, defending his mother, strangely preached his audience with calling himself the servant of God, in order to reject the later false notions that he was God or the son of God.

      Here we may comprehend the miraculous eloquence of Qurän that, in a few short sentences, illustrates the important story of Jesus Christ, which is contaminated with all sorts of polytheism, and mingled with superstitions, giving a clear cut truth of what the incident really was.
