Surah 3:45-58
Behold! the angels said:
"O Mary! Allah giveth thee
Glad tidings of a Word
From Him: his name
Will be Christ Jesus,
The son of Mary, held in honour
In this world and the Hereafter
And of (the company of) those
Nearest to Allah;
"He shall speak to the people
In childhood and in maturity.
And he shall be (of the company)
Of the righteous."
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 matter, He but saith
To it, 'Be', and it is!
"And Allah will teach him
The Book and Wisdom,
The Torah and the Gospel,
"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 declare to you
What ye eat, and what ye store
In your houses. Surely
Therein is a Sign for you
If ye did believe;'
" '(I have come to you),
To attest the Torah
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.'
" 'It is Allah
Who is my Lord
And your Lord;
Then worship Him.
This is a Way
That is straight.' "

Surah 3:42-43
Behold! the angels said:
"O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee
And purified thee-chosen thee
Above the women of all nations.
"O Mary! worship
The Lord devoutly:
Prostate thyself,
And bow down (in prayer)
With those who bow down."
Surah 19:19-22
He said: "Nay, I am only
A messenger from thy Lord
(To announce) to thee
The gift of a pure son."
She said: "How shall I
Have a son, seeing that
No man has touched me,
And I am not unchaste?"
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 a matter
(So) decreed."
So she conceived him,
And she retired with him
To a remote place.
Surah 19:33 [Jesus said:]
"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)"!
Surah 23:50
And We made
The son of Mary
And his mother
As a Sign:
We gave them both
Shelter on high ground,
Affording rest and security
And furnished with springs.
Surah 43:61-64
And (Jesus) shall be
A Sign (for the coming
Of) the Hour (Of Judgment):
Therefore have no doubt
About the (Hour), but
Follow ye Me: this
Is a Straight Way.
Let not Satan
Hinder you: for he is
To you an enemy avowed.
When Jesus came
With Clear Signs, he said:
"Now have I come
To you with Wisdom,
And in order to make
Clear to you some
Of the (points) on which
Ye dispute: therefore fear Allah
And obey me.
"For Allah, He is my Lord
And your Lord: so worship
Ye Him: this is
A Straight Way."
Surah 5:46
And in their footsteps
We sent Jesus the son
Of Mary, confirming
The Torah that had come
Before him: We sent him
The Gospel therein
Was guidance and light.
And confirmation of the Torah
That had come before him:
A guidance and an admonition
To those who fear Allah.
Surah 5:110-111
Then will Allah say:
"O Jesus the son of Mary!
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 old age
Behold! I taught thee
The Book and Wisdom,
The Torah 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.'
"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'."
