44. This is of the
tidings of things hidden. We reveal it unto thee (Muhammad), “Thou wast not
present with them when they threw their pens (to know) which of them should
be the guardian of Mary, nor wast thou present with them when they quarreled
(thereupon).

Commentary
In
this verse, Allah Almighty has described in corroboration of the claim of
Prophet-hood in respect of the Messenger of Islam, Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him). “We have taught him, these entire past happenings
which the Last Prophet (grace, glory, blessing and peace be upon him) has been
causing to hear the people. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him) has absolutely not invented them himself. Its proof is that, apparently
the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is totally illiterate.
He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) did never attend company of
any person who believed in one of the previous inspired Scriptures of Allah
Almighty, so that he might know from them about these occurrences. Moreover,
suppose! If he would have remained with them, then you may know that those
people had also not the correct knowledge. They had fallen in whims worship.
They had changed the correct incidents. So it is clear that these entire facts,
for instance; to vow the mother of Mary, birth of Mary, acceptance of petition
by Allah Almighty, fostering and security of Mary, supplication of Prophet
Zachariah (peace be upon him), birth of John, glad tidings regarding Jesus
Christ (peace be upon them) etc. How these entire facts might be known by the
Messenger, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) without the
source of the revelation from Allah Almighty”?
After
adducing the above-mentioned proof in favor of Messenger-hood of Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), Allah Almighty has begun again
the description of Mary (peace be upon her).
Mary (peace be upon her) was accepted in vow.
Then she was sent for the duty of the Temple of Jerusalem Temple of Jerusalem
God Almighty recognized again that Muhammad
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was not present at that time
when the attendants of the Temple of Jerusalem were leaving their pens into the
water for taking decision regarding a guardian for Mary (peace be upon her).
But in spite of it, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)
accrued this knowledge by means of the Revelation. Even after this argument of
Allah Almighty, those people who deny the Messenger-hood of Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him), they went astray, they have lost the
Straight Path. Severe threat is for them. It is clear evident from this verse
that Holy Qur’an is not the
collection of stories and tales. It is the Book for Guidance and which
incidents and facts are written in It, those are for manifesting of its
purpose.
