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

(Mary) said, "How can there be a son for me when no mortal has touched me?" The angel replied, "That is how God creates whatever He wants. When He decides to do something He just orders it to exist and it comes into existence."
