As we start to break off for the Christmas holidays, it is
an excellent time to reflect on the story of Maryum (AS),
mother of Isa (Jesus (as)) . The Quran is one of the few
religious texts that not only contain stories of women
but also a whole chapter dedicated to women - Sura An-Nisa. The Quran informs us of her piety and nobility. Maryum (AS)
was chosen by Allah (SWT) to show the Mankind her miraculous
pregnancy and the miraculous birth of Isa (AS) without a father. And thus Allah (swt) says: “Verily the likeness of Isa (Jesus)
before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust,
then (He) said to him: “Be!”- and he was”. (Al-Quran: 59:3) Can women of our time be pious like Maryum (AS) and her mother?
Can Dua (supplication) provide pious spouse and children?
Can professional women become wives, mothers and pious women
while working? Inshallah this short intensive course has been arranged to
