Behold! the angels said: "O Maryam! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee, chosen thee above the women of all nations.Quran 3.42 ( Surat Alimran , verse 42)
Angels announcing JesusBehold!
the angels said: "O Maryam! Allah giveth Thee glad tidings of a Word
from Him: his name will be Al-Masih 'Isa. The son of Maryam, held in
honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those
nearest to Allah; [46] "He shall speak to the people in childhood and
in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."47 She
said: "O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?"
He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: when He hath decreed
a Plan, He but saith to it, `Be', and it is!Quran 3.45 ( Surat Alimran , verse 45.47)
Gabriel 's apparition
Relate in the Book (the story of) Maryam, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East. [17] She placed a screen (to screen herself) from
them; then We sent to her Our angel, and he appeared before her as a
man in all respects. [18] She said: "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah." [19] He said: "Nay, I am only a Messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son." [20] She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" [21] He said: "So (it will be): thy Lord saith,
'That is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men
and a Mercy from Us': it is matter (so) decreed."Quran 19.16,21 ( Surat Maryam , verse 16..21)
The birth
So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place. [23] And the pains of childbirth drove her to the
trunk of a palm tree: she cried (in her anguish) "Ah! would that I had
died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of
sight!" [24] But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee; "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree; it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee. [26] "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if
thou dost see any man, say, 'I have vowed a fast to (Allah) Most
Gracious, and this day will I enter into no talk with any human being'"Quran 19.22,26 ( Surat Maryam , verses 22..26)
At
length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her
arms). They said: "O Maryam! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought! 28] "O sister of Harun! thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"Quran 19.27,28 ( Surat Maryam , verses 27,28)
The innocence But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?" [30] He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; [31] "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live: [32] "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable; [33] "So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)!" Quran 19.29,33 ( Surat Maryam , verses 29..33)
And a Messenger to the Children of Israel "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel, [49] "And (appoint him) a Messenger to the Children
of Israel, (with this message): "I have come to you, with a Sign from
your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure
of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave:
and I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by
Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in
your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe; [50] "(I have come to you), to attest the Law which
was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (before)
forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So
fear Allah, and obey me. [51] "It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight."Quran 3.48 ( Surat Alimran , verse 48.51)
With many miracles
Then
will Allah say: "O 'Isa the son of Maryam! recount My favour to thee
and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so
that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity.
Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel. And
behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by
My leave, and thou breathest into it, and it becometh a bird by My
leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave.
And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did
restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst
show them the Clear Signs, and the Unbelievers among them said: `This
is nothing but evident magic.'Quran 5.110 (Surat Al-Mayda , verse 110)
And giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me
And
remember, 'Isa, the son of Maryam, said: "O Children of Israel! I am
the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came)
before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me,
whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs
they said, "This is evident sorcery!" Quran 61.6 ( Surat AS-SAF , verse 6)
The disciples
"And
behold! I inspired the Disciples to have faith in Me and Mine
Messenger; they said, `We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we
bow to Allah as Muslims.'" Quran 5.111 (Surat Al-Mayda , verse 111)
[52]
When 'Isa found unbelief on their part he said: "Who will be my helpers
to (the work of) Allah?" Said the disciples: "We are Allah's helpers:
we believe in Allah, and do thou bear witness that we are Muslims. [53] "Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast
revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those
who bear witness." [54] And (then Unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah. Quran 3.52 ( Surat Alimran , verse 52..54)
O
ye who believe! Be ye helpers of Allah: as said 'Isa, the son of
Maryam, to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of)
Allah?" Said the Disciples, "We are Allah's helpers!" Then a portion of
the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: but We gave
power to those who believed against their enemies, and they became the
ones that prevailed.Quran 61.14 ( Surat AS-SAF , verse 14)
O 'Isa! I will take thee and raise thee to myself
[55]
Behold! Allah said: "O 'Isa! I will take thee and raise thee to myself
and clear thee (of the falsehood) of those who blaspheme; I will make
those who follow thee superior to those who reject Faith, to the Day of
Resurrection: then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge
between you of the matters wherein ye dispute Quran [56] "As to those who reject Faith, I will punish
them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will
they have anyone to help. Quran 3.55 ( Surat Alimran , verse 55)
