19/Maryam-12: O John (Yahyâ)! Take hold of (own) the Book with strength (care), and We granted him the Wisdom while yet a child.
19/Maryam-13: And (We gave him) Love and purity (soul’s cleansing) from Our Presence and he became the owner of Takwâ (piety).
19/Maryam-14: And was the owner of Birr towards his parents and he was not rebellious tyrant.
19/Maryam-15: And peace be on him on the day he was born, and on the day he dies, and on the Day he is raised to life (resurrected).
19/Maryam-16: And mention (remember) Mary (Maryam) in the Book. She had withdrawn from her family to a place toward the east.
19/Maryam-17: Then she took a veil in seclusion from them. Then We sent to her Our spirit (the Holy Spirit). He appeared to her as a regular man.
19/Maryam-18: (Mary) said: “I seek refuge in the Most Beneficent from you. If you are the owner of piety (no harm would come from you)”.
19/Maryam-19: (He) said: “I am only a Messenger from your Lord that I will grant you a pure boy”.
19/Maryam-20: (She said): “How can I have a son, as no human being has yet touched me, nor have I been unchaste”?
19/Maryam-21: (The Holy Spirit) said: “Just like that”. Your Lord said: “It is easy to me, and that We will make him a sign (miracle) to mankind and a Mercy from Us”. And it is a matter which has already been decreed.
19/Maryam-22: So she conceived him. Then withdrew herself with him to a remote place.
19/Maryam-23: And the pains of childbirth compelled her (to take refuge) to the trunk of a date-palm. (She) said: “Oh, I wish I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten”.
19/Maryam-24: Then a call out to her from below her came: “Do not grieve; surely your Lord has made a stream to flow under you”.
19/Maryam-25: And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you; it will drop on you fresh ripe-dates.
