19:1-35

In (Ayats 1-35), it has been shown that the “Doctrine of the son of God” in regard to Prophet Jesus is absolutely wrong. For just as the miraculous birth of Prophet John did not make him the son of God, so the miraculous birth of Prophet Jesus could not make him the son of God. For the births of both were the result of the same sort of miracle as they have been mentioned together in the same context in the Gospel of Luke. Therefore, it is mere distortion that the Christians should regard one as the servant of God and the other as the son of God.

19:3-5

The prayer that Prophet Zakariya (Zachariah) made was when he was broken, vulnerable, raw and desperate and the situation seemed impossible. Yet, he had faith in Allah’s power and mercy. Despite the seemingly impossible situation, he did not stop praying to Allah.

Our prayers should also be like this. Even when the situation seems impossible, we must have faith that nothing is too great for Allah. We should focus on how great the One we are asking from is, rather than how big our problem or prayer is.
