`Behold!` the Angel said, `God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and shall be of the righteous.`
She said: `O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?` He said: `Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is.` (Quran, 3:42-7) |
