فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنۢبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّاٱلْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا قَالَ يَٰمَرْيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَٰذَا قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ 37
37. And her Lord
accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and
made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where
she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee
this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Surely Allah giveth without
stint to whom He will.

Commentary
Zakariyyaa – (Zachariah (peace
be upon him) was a Prophet of Allah Almighty. He was husband of the mother’s
sister of Mary (maternal uncle). After the death of Imran, (the father of Mary) Zachariah (peace be upon him) became
chief of the nation.
‘Al- Mihraaba – (the sanctuary), an asylum, a
separate place for somebody’s living alone for worship. Mihraab of Masjid (Mosque) is also called by this name because Imam
(the spiritual leader) stands alone in front of all the people separately as a
leader of them for prayer.
Although
female was not accepted to attend the temple (haikal), however Allah Almighty accepted the prayer of Mary’s
mother and put this matter in the hearts of attendants of the Temple of
Jerusalem (Bait ul Muqaddas) that
they should accept this girl contrary to common rules. When dissention arose among
the Haikal (the Temple ) about Mary’s
sustenance, then a cast was drawn and the cast came out in the name of
Zachariah (peace be upon him).
Allah
Almighty caused to grow Mary (peace be upon her) unusually respecting
spiritual, literary, corporeal and moral. Zachariah (peace be upon him) became
her guardian. He tried his best in her training. When Mary rose a little, a
separate sanctuary was specified near the place of worship for her living. Mary
(peace be upon her) used to remain there busy in worship.
Zachariah (peace be upon him) used to come
there many times daily. Whenever he went there, he saw in the sanctuary
different kinds of food and fruit, and perplexed that by whom these things are
being delivered to Mary. Therefore, he asked Mary, “O Mary! Who gives this food
to you? She answered: It is from Allah Almighty. Allah gives without stint to
whom He wills by means of the unknown sources about which nobody can think.
