Tafsir

( قالت رب ) يا سيدي تقوله لجبريل . وقيل : تقول لله عز وجل ( أنى يكون لي ولد ولم يمسسني بشر ) يصبني رجل ، قالت ذلك تعجبا إذ لم تكن جرت العادة بأن يولد ولد لا أب له ( قال كذلك الله يخلق ما يشاء إذا قضى أمرا ) أي كون الشيء ( فإنما يقول له كن فيكون ) كما يريد .

Mary was surprised that she was to have a child without a husband and said in astonishment: How can I have a child when no man has come near me in a lawful or unlawful way? The angel said to her: Just as Allah will create a child for you without a father, He creates whatever He wishes even though it may be out of the ordinary. When Allah wishes for something, He says ‘Be’ and it is. Nothing can stop Him doing as He wills.
