Commentary 66:12 Here, the believer is compared to Mary. She represents the righteous servants of Allâh, who have closed all avenues of sin and made peace with Allâh.…
وَمَرْيَمَ ابْنَتَ عِمْرَانَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَانِتِينَ
66:12 Here, the believer is compared to Mary. She represents the righteous servants of Allâh, who have closed all avenues of sin and made peace with Allâh. Such a servant is blessed with Divine Revelation. This personal pronoun fihiفِيهِ him is the believer for whom Mary is set as an example. The parable illustrates how Divine Revelation is granted to some of Allâh’s servants, although they are not Prophets of Allâh. The verse also tells us that such a person will be like Mary and then Allâh will infuse His Rûhرُّوحِ in them and they will become like Jesus. The verse clearly informs us that in the ummah of the Holy Prophet (pbuh), there will be people—both men and women—like Mary, who will guard their chastity, be devoted to prayers, declare faith in the Scripture and because of being an obedient servant of Allâh will receive the blessings of Divine Revelations (see Rûh in 16:2; 32:9; 38:72; 42:52; 16:102; 2:253; 2:87; 5:110; 58:22; 26:193; 4:171). This promise has been given in the very first chapter of al-Fâtihâh in the words, “Show us the path of those whom you bestowed your Mercy”.
