قَالَتْ
رَبِّ
أَنَّى
يَكُونُ
لِي
وَلَدٌ
وَلَمْ
يَمْسَسْنِي
بَشَرٌ
قَالَ
كَذَلِكِ
اللَّهُ
يَخْلُقُ
مَا
يَشَاءُ
إِذَا
قَضَى
أَمْرًا
فَإِنَّمَا
يَقُولُ
لَهُ
كُن
فَيَكُونُ

She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!
— Abdullah Yusufali
