And mention, in the Book Mary, when she withdrew
from her family to a place toward the east.
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen.
Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most
Merciful from you, if you should be fearing Allah."
He said, "I am only the messenger of your
Lord to give you a pure boy."
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man
has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
He said, "Thus; your Lord says, 'It is easy
for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter decreed.'"
Surah Maryam 16-21
