The Virgin Birth of Jesus (may peace be upon him and his mother) 

​

Almighty God-Allah tells us in His final testament, the Qur'an (translation of the meaning):

16           And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.             

 17          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.      

 18          She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."               

 19          He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."          

 20          She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

 21          He said, "Thus [it will be]; 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 [already] decreed.' "               

 22          So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.    

 23          And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."        

 24          But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.             

 25          And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.            

 26          So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "

 27          Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.              

 28          O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."    

 29          So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"           

 30          [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.               

 31          And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive               

 32          And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.        

 33          And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."         

 34          That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.          

 35          It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.           

 36          [Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."           

 37          Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.      

 38          How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.         

 39          And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.             

 40          Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.

(Chapter Maryam 19:16-40)
