In the Last episode of The Quran for Hearts & Minds: The Power of Maqamat, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan and Qari Ibraheem Bakeer focus on the moment in Surah Maryam (19:16–33) when Maryam (AS) is overcome by anxiety and fear, not just of pain or hardship, but of shame and judgment.
She had committed no sin, yet she knew what people would assume. She feared their looks, their comments, their silence. And in her fear, she wished she could disappear altogether. She didn’t fear death, she feared humiliation.
Recited in a medley of Maqamat including Bayati, Saba, Ajam, Rast & Hijaz, the emotion of these ayat is heavy. They carry the weight of isolation and the anxiety of being seen. Her only defense was silence, and even that was questioned.
But Allah had already written her protection. Her child would speak. Her dignity would be restored. And her story would be honored forever.
