    The Summary/theme of the Surah Maryam:

    There is a lot of emphasis in Surah 19 on Islamic Prophets, individuals who are chosen by God to spread an important message but are not themselves gods. A significant part of this surah emphasizes that while Jesus is a Prophet, he is not God's son and shouldn't be viewed that way

    Lesson learned from Surah Maryam:

    1. No matter how audacious something may seem, never let that stop you from making du‘' for it.  
    2. Dates are healthy for pregnant women.  
    3. Nothing is beyond the Power of Allah's.  
    4. Ibrahim (عليه السلام)… strove for Allah's, and Allah's helped him due to it.  
    5. Everyone will have to cross Jahannam.  
    6. Each person will have to stand alone before Allah's on the Day of Judgement.  
    7. Allah's places love for the pious in the hearts of His creation.
