Even Miracles Ask you to Work ... Virgin Mary as she was going through the physical and mental agony during her labour. In the middle of nowhere, all alone, afraid of the ugly accusations that are to fall upon her once she goes home with a fatherless son. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten. (19:23) But he -Gabriel -called her from below her, Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. (19:24) And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates. (Suraat Mariam 19:25) So Why am I am mesmerized by this verse ? Shake , the word Shake yes Shake... Even though virgin Mary was going through hell and God could simply have the dates spoon fed to her, she was ordered to shake. It is like God is saying put some effort and I shall help you. It reminds us that miracles do exist and prayers get answered, but you are ought to put the effort first. And it doesnt matter if those efforts are dwarfish so long you are trying your best to reach your full potential.....
