Maryam 19:20

<h2>The Story of Maryam and Al-Masih (`Isa)</h2><p>After Allah, the Exalted, mentioned the story of Zakariyya, and that He blessed him with a righteous, purified and blessed child even in his old age while his wife was barren, He then mentions the story of Maryam. Allah informs of His granting her a child named `Isa without a father being involved (in her pregnancy). Between these two stories there is an appropriate and similar relationship. Due to their closeness in meaning, Allah mentioned them here together, as well as in Surahs Al `Imran and Al-Anbiya'. Allah has mentioned these stories to show His servants His ability, the might of His authority and that He has power over all things. Allah says,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتَـبِ مَرْيَمَ</div><p>(And mention in the Book, Maryam,) She was Maryam bint `Imran from the family lineage of Dawud. She was from a good and wholesome family of the Children of Israel. Allah mentioned the story of her mother's pregnancy with her in Surah Al `Imran, and that she (Maryam's mother) dedicated her freely for the service of Allah. This meant that she dedicated the child (Maryam) to the service of the Masjid of the Sacred House (in Jerusalem). …

She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste?

She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"

She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”
