Allah provides the means to bear every hardship
During her pregnancy, Maryam (AS) was under a great deal of stress ' having to cope with her situation alone and conceal her pregnancy ' until at last, '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) Allah never burdens anyone with more than he or she can bear, so He was there to help out Maryam (AS). A voice ' possibly that of an angel ' called out to her, comforting her, and laying out her course of action.
'Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates. So eat and drink and be comforted. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, ‗Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful a fast [of silence], so I will not speak today to anyone.‘' (19:24'26)
