Surah Maryam Tafseer

And Salam (peace) be on him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life (again)!

This means that he had security and safety in these three circumstances.

Sufyan bin Uyaynah said,

"The loneliest that a man will ever feel is in three situations.

The first situation is on the day that he is born, when he sees himself coming out of what he was in.

The second situation is on the day that he dies, when he sees people that he will not see anymore.

The third situation is on the day when he is resurrected, when he sees himself in the great gathering.

Allah has exclusively honored Yahya, the son of Zakariyya, by granting him peace in these situations. Allah says,

وَسَلَمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا

And Salam (peace) be on him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the day he will be raised up to life (again)!
