“O Mary! God gives thee glad


tidings of a Word from Him: His

name will be Christ Jesus,


The son of Mary, held in honor in this world, and

the Hereafter,


And of the company of

those nearest to God.”


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 wills:


When He has decreed a plan, He

merely says ‘BE,’ and it is.”

Qur’an, Surah XIX:10-22

She said, “How shall I have a

son, seeing that no man has

touched me?”


He said, “So shall it be: your Lord

says, ‘That is easy for Me:


And we wish to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a mercy from us…”


So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.
