Quran Surah Maryam

Verses 16 - 35

16 - Mention in the Quran the story of Mary. She withdrew from her family to a place to the east

17 - and secluded herself away; We sent Our Spirit to appear before her in the form of a perfected man.

18 - She said, ‘I seek the Rahman's (Lord of Mercy’s) protection against you: if you have any fear of Him [do not approach]!’

19 - but he said, ‘I am but a Messenger from your Lord, [come] to announce to you the gift of a pure son.’

20 - She said, ‘How can I have a son when no man has touched me? I have not been unchaste,’

21 - and he said, ‘This is what your Lord said: “It is easy for Me- We shall make him a sign to all people, a blessing from Us.”

22 - And so it was ordained: she conceived him. She withdrew to a distant place

23 - and, when the pains of childbirth drove her to [cling to] the trunk of a palm tree, she exclaimed, ‘I wish I had been dead and forgotten long before all this!

24 - but a voice cried to her from below, ‘Do not worry: your Lord has provided a stream at your feet

25 - and, if you shake the trunk of the palm tree towards you, it will deliver fresh ripe dates for you,

26 - so eat, drink, be glad, and say to anyone you may see: “I have vowed to the Lord of Mercy to abstain from conversation, and I will not talk to anyone today.”

27 - She went back to her people carrying the child, and they said, ‘Mary! You have done something terrible!

28 - Sister of Aaron! Your father was not an evil man; your mother was not unchaste!

29 - She pointed at him. They said, ‘How can we converse with an infant?’

30 - [But] he said: ‘I am a servant of Allah. He has granted me the Scripture; made me a prophet;

31 - made me blessed wherever I may be. He commanded me to pray, to give alms as long as I live,

32 - to cherish my mother. He did not make me domineering or graceless.

33 -Peace was on me the day I was born, and will be on me the day I die and the day I am raised to life again.

34 - Such was Jesus, son of Mary. [This is] a statement of the Truth about which they are in doubt:

35 - it would not befit Allah to have a child. He is far above that: when He decrees something, He says only, ‘Be,’ and it is.
