Why would Allah design the miraculous birth of Isa (AS) in a way that invited people’s worst assumptions? In this Q&A, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan responds to a questioner reflecting on Surah Maryam (19:20), when Maryam (AS) asks how she could have a child when no man has touched her. Ustadh Nouman explains that the test was never really about her. It was a test for the people around her: a believing community that was quick to demonize, chastise and humiliate one of their own without knowing the facts. Allah flipped their assumptions, showing that honor comes from Him alone, and that Maryam (AS) and her son would become two of the most honored human beings in existence. Remarkably, Allah told her not to defend herself, because the more they spoke, the more they exposed themselves. A powerful lesson for anyone who has ever been judged unfairly.
