Why wasn't Mary Stoned to Death ?
The Holy Quran completes the missing puzzles often over looked
or ignored by non-Muslim theologians.
According to the Jewish Bible, the punishment for adultery is
death by stones:
" But if the thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not
found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door
of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with
stones, because she has wrought folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her
father's house; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you." Deuteronomy
22:20-21
Why then was Mary, left to travel freely,
proudly displaying Jesus, her son without a father, without being persecuted
?
It would take a miracle to prevent the
Israelis from killing Mary, the Holy Quran reveals the hidden
Miracle.
When the Israelis approached Mary and her
infant Jesus to question her and inquire about the fatherless child, something
unexpected happened:
"Then she brought the him to her people, carrying him. They
said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! O sister of Aaron! Thy
father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot."
But she pointed to him. They said: "How should we speak to one
who was a child in the cradle?"
He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me
revelation and made me a prophet; and He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be,
and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made me
kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable" Holy Quran
19:27-32
In conclusion, after witnessing the Miracle of God, the newborn
Messiah praising God, Mary's innocence was confirmed.
