Story of Jesus Birth (Prophet Isa) in Quran
(Jesus) Isa’s (AS) mother, (Mary) Maryam (AS), was a special child from birth. When she was born, her mother prayed to Allah (SWT) that she and her descendants stay safe from the clutches of Satan.
But when she delivered
her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female." And Allah was
most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male is not like the female.
And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her
descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the mercy of Allah ]." (Surah Al-Imran:36)
Soon after she was left
under the guardianship of Zechariah (AS) by her mother so that she could spend
her life worshipping Allah (SWT). She was a very pious and chaste woman.
The birth of Prophet Isa
(AS) was no ordinary birth, it was a miracle! When Maryam (AS) found out that
she was expecting a child, she was very confused;
Thereafter, Maryam (AS)
submitted to the will of Allah (SWT) and secluded herself from society and gave
birth to Isa (AS) under a date palm tree, which served as her source of
nourishment during labor. When she returned to her people with a son in hand,
she was denounced and condemned for supposedly falling in sin but that did not
deter Maryam as her faith in Allah (SWT) was supreme and unrelenting. Allah
(SWT) did not leave Maryam (AS) alone, He had granted several miracles to the
child, Isa (AS), who was a miracle himself. As the people were doubting Maryam
(AS), Isa (AS) spoke from his cradle, thereby astonishing the people and
confirming Maryam’s (AS) story.
Hence, Jesus was born.
Apart from talking since
infancy Prophet Isa (AS) had other gifts from Allah (SWT);
“And [make him] a
messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you
with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is]
like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by
permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to
the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what
you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are
believers.” (Surah Al-Imran:49)
Isa (AS) was a miracle
from Allah (SWT) for the people of Israel.
