    Surah Maryam Ayat 2 Tafsir (Commentry)

    1. Hazrat Zakariya (On whom be peace) is from the children of Raheem bin Sulaiman bin Dawood (On whom be peace), and these men are from the descendants of Hazrat Harun (On whom be peace) and Hazrat Harun is from the progeny of Ladi bin Yaqub bin Is'haaq bin Ibrahim (On them be peace). From this we learn that having a pious son is a Mercy of Allah Almighty. In this Surah, a pious son is called a mercy, especially when such a son is given in one's old age.

    (19:2) This is an account[1] of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah[2]

    1. For comparison please see the story of Zachariah as given in (Surah Aal-Imran, ayat 34-57) and the E.Ns thereof.

    2. In order to understand the position held by Zachariah, a descendant of Prophet Aaron, one should be acquainted with the system of priesthood among the children of Israel.

    After the conquest of Palestine, the entire land was divided among the 12 tribes of the descendants of Prophet Jacob as inheritance, and the 13th tribe, the Levites, was entrusted with religious services and duties. Even among the Levites, the house that was separated to sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name forever was the house of Prophet Aaron. The other Levites were not allowed to enter the Temple. Their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the Sabbaths, in the new moon, and on the set festivals. The descendants of Aaron were divided into 24 families, who came to serve the house of the Lord by turns. One of these families was of Abiah whose chief was Zachariah. Thus it was Zachariah’s duty to go into the house on his family’s turn and burn incense before the Lord. (For details, see 1 Chronicles, chapters 23, 24).
