“ Abu Umama said he heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) say, ‘Recite the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it. It Will Be An Intercessor for Its Reciter On the Day of Judgment.This fact is not explained in Al-Qur’an, yet there are some hadiths telling the blessing virtues of Surah Ali-‘Imran. Surah Ali-‘Imran is not only wonderful because of the stories or messages in it, but also the good deeds we can gain by reciting it. The examples of major issues presented in Surah Ali-Imran are the prohibition of riba’, the birth of Yahya, statement that Rasulullah is only human being (we are not allowed to deify him), lessons about the Battle of Uhud and Badar, Ka’bah at Mecca as the first House of Allah, the order to do amar ma’ruf nahi munkar, and the statement that those who are killed in the path of Allah are always alive. Surah Ali-‘Imran is quite complex so that we can find a lot of messages, advice, and stories of other prophets to learn. And another thing that’s important is we can learn sincerity from the story of Isa. Later in his life, Isa became a prophet who spread the principle of tawhid and fought for the religion of Allah. We don’t need scientific explanation, but we believe that Allah can do anything and there’s nothing impossible for Him.

So, there was born Isa, whose birth is almost the same as the birth of Prophet Adam. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be’, and it is.’” (Ali-‘Imran: 47) “ She said, ‘My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?’ said, ‘Such is Allah He creates what He wills.
