In the beginning I was clay then I became a bird by Allah's leave. From
motionless clay to a soaring bird. I was something that was not able to
move by itself and then I could fly in the sky. That is me.799Please respect copyright.PENANAFTZtz0Flot

Allah
(Exalted and Glorified be He) introduced me in the last of His Books
saying, "(Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O
'Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Remember My Favor to you and to
your mother when I supported you with Ruh-ul-Qudus [Jibril (Gabriel)) so
that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and when I
taught you writing, Al-Hikmah (the power of understanding), the Tawrat
(Torah) and the Injil (Gospel); and when you made out of the clay, as it
were, the figure of a bird, by My Permission, and you breathed into it,
and it became a bird by My Permission.’”799Please respect copyright.PENANAjNG3KoFQZU

I was the princess of clay, even though I was made of clay.799Please respect copyright.PENANAGtCdgkE9k1

Then I fell in love. That was before 'Isa the son of Maryam touched me. When I fell in love I began to transform.799Please respect copyright.PENANAPQUWWGksAw

I
was calm, still and content with my state of being a lump of clay. I do
not dream, for clay does not have the ability to do this. Even though I
could not dream, I was content. I had a long history before I became
earthly clay. At first, I was a part of the sun. Then billions of years
passed by and I had not yet fallen in love, so the burning embers were
put out and I was transformed into rock on a planet they call the earth
in a place they call Palestine.799Please respect copyright.PENANAfFlmeNhggN

I am a part of the mud of
Palestine and a part of its land. Look how much I had suffered.
Thousands of years passed by without falling in love.799Please respect copyright.PENANAo7VkDaRHoc
