Commentary

      

When God Almighty caused to hear Mary (peace be upon her) the glad tidings about the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him) care of an Angel (peace be upon him), she astonished and thought, “Wonderful; how it can be? No man has touched me so far. How the birth of a child would be possible?” Allah Almighty commanded, “There is no surprising thing in it. Allah creates what He will. He is not indigent of apparent causes. When He determines to do something, He says unto it only; Be! And it is”.

This verse manifests the extent of the Divine Power of Allah Almighty. He is The Cause of causes, creates the cause for each work Himself. He created the earth, the heavens and the entire things of the universe. He created one above the one thing. How can He be necessitous of causes and sources?

God Almighty has framed laws to run the system of universe as; the water quenches the thirst, the hand burns whenever someone puts it into the fire, the human being is lost when his heart beat stops, children will be born with the copulation of male and female. These entire things appear in accord with ordinary manner. As per idiomatic meaning, these are called ‘Laws of Producing’. That is to say; if any cause happens, then any result of it comes out.

In this regard, observation of the mankind has become so matured that he discovers cause of each result and produces cause to accomplish each result. He becomes thunderstruck upon any happening, if he does not find its natural or external cause.

In this verse, Allah Almighty has fixed that this observation of the human being is false. It has been searched out that existence of the causes has been set up only for the satisfaction of the mankind. Every thing is possible before the extent of the Divine Power. Only making a signal by Allah Almighty is sufficient for completion of any work. Therefore, He commanded, “when I devise any thing, I make a signal of ‘KUN’ (Be) only unto it. So, that work is completed (And it is). I am not needy of apparent causes”.
