An Angel Visits Mary
And mention, in the Book the story of 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, so leave me, if you should be fearing of God."
The Angel said,
"I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] 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 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.' "
