Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Portraits of Youths in Quran and the History of Islam Jesus Christ A Child Whose Birth Was Miraculous And Who Made A Revolution In His Youth Against Oppression Maryam was passing her solitary life in a room of Baitul Maqdas engaged in God-worship. Thirteen years of her life passed away in this way.

Now youth was approaching her speedily and her devotion to worship accompanied with her radiant face and noble form made her a daughter that was a model of morality for the entire world.

At the beginning of the fourteenth year of her life some angels sent by God approached her and told her: O Maryam, surely Allah gives you good news with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the Messiah, Isa son of Maryam, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter and of those who are made near (to Allah). And he shall speak to the people when in the cradle and when of old age, and (he shall be) one of the good ones.

[1] When Maryam heard this unseen announcement she prayed to God: My Lord! When shall there be a son (born) to me, and man has not touched me? He said: Even so, Allah creates what He [1] Surah Aale Imran 3:45-46 pleases; when He has decreed a matter, He only says to it, Be, and it is. And He will teach him the Book and the wisdom and the Taurat and the Injeel.

And (make him) an apostle to the children of Israel : [1] On that day when Maryam was taking bath at a far off place where sunrays were falling and which was closed in all directions. Suddenly she could see that a handsome elegant and shapely young man was looking at her standing in front of her. She was frightened and exclaimed fearfully, “I seek God’s protection from your evil.

If you have any fear of God, do not stay here and return at once.” That comely man told Maryam in reply, “Fear not for God has sent me so that I may gift you a pious son.” Maryam said, “How is it possible for me to get a son when no man has ever touched me nor am I a wicked woman.” The angel told her in response, “God has decreed it only due to these virtues of yours and it is easy for God to do so.
