In fact the example of the birth of Isa ( Jesus) in the sight ofAllah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother,whom He created out of dust, then said to him: "Be" and he was.
He is the One Who has created you from clay, then decreed a fixedterm of life and set a deadline for you Himself; yet you go ondoubting!
Allah said: "What prevented you from prostrating when I commandedyou?" He replied: "I am better than he; you created me from fireand him from clay."
We created man from sounding clay, black mud moulded into shape;
Recall the occasion when We said to the angels: "Prostrateyourselves before Adam." They all prostrated except Iblees(Shaitan), who replied: "Should I prostrate to the one whom Youhave created from clay?"
His companion replied while still conversing with him: "Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you from dust, from a drop of semen, and fashioned you into a perfect man?
O mankind! If you doubt that there is life after death rememberthat We first created you from dust, then from a sperm, then froma leech- like mass, then from a morsel of flesh, partly formedand partly unformed, so that We may manifest to you Our power. Wecause to remain in the womb whom We wish for an appointed term,and then We bring you forth as infants; then We nourish you sothat you may reach your age of full strength. There are some ofyou who die young and some who live on to their abject old agewhen all that they once knew they know no more. You sometimes seethe land dry and barren; but no sooner do We pour down rain uponit then it begins to stir and swell, putting forth every kind ofbeautiful growth in pairs.
Indeed We have created man from an essence of clay,
Of His signs, one is that He created you from dust; and thenbehold you men are scattered throughout the earth.
It is He Who has given the best form to everything that He hascreated. He originated the creation of man from clay;
It is Allah Who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop,then He made you pairs. No female conceives or delivers withoutHis knowledge. No long-lived man grows old or has his life cutshort but is written in a Book; surely all this is easy forAllah.
Behold when your Rabb said to the angels: "I am about to create aman from clay:
Iblees said: "I am better than him: You created me from fire andcreated him from clay."
It is He Who has created you from dust, then from a sperm, thenfrom a leechlike mass, then He delivers you from the womb of yourmother as a child, then He makes you grow to reach the age offull strength, then He makes you grow to reach an old age -though some of you die earlier - so that you may complete yourappointed term and grow in wisdom.
and a few from the later generations.
He created man from sounding clay similar to pottery,

from a drop of ejaculated semen,
Was he not once a drop of emitted semen?
Have We not created you from an unworthy fluid,
He is created from an emitted fluid
Indeed, We have created man from the sperm drop containing bothsexes, so that We may test him. Therefore, We gave him thefaculties of hearing and sight.
He created you all from a single person, then from that person Hecreated his mate. He also created for you eight head of cattle inpairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, oneafter another, in three layers of darkness. This is Allah, yourRabb. To Him belongs the sovereignty. There is no god but Him.How can you then turn away from Him?

then changed the semen into a leechlike mass, then leechlike massinto a fetus lump, then fetus lump into bones, then clothed thebones with flesh, and then We brought him forth as quite adifferent creature from the embryo - so blessed is Allah, thebest of all creators.

Then he became a leechlike mass, then Allah created him andfashioned him in due proportion,
- created man from a leechlike mass.

We have indeed created man in the best stature;
Of His signs, one is that He created you from dust; and thenbehold you men are scattered throughout the earth.
and in your own creation and that of animals which are scatteredthrough the earth, there are signs for those who are firm infaith,
Say: "It is He Who has multiplied you in the earth, and beforeHim you shall all be assembled."
Do they not observe the birds above them spreading their wingsand folding them? None could hold them except the Compassionate(Allah), surely it is He Who watches over all things.
Do they not observe the birds above them spreading their wingsand folding them? None could hold them except the Compassionate(Allah), surely it is He Who watches over all things.
Do they not see the birds, that wing their flight in the airtowards the sky? Who holds them up but Allah? Surely in thisthere are signs for the true believers.
But when He gives them a healthy child they both began toassociate partners with Him in what He has given them; but Allahis exalted far above the shirk they commit of associating otherdeities with Him as His partners.
Do they associate with Him those deities who can create nothingbut are themselves created,
Whenever the news of a female child is announced to any one ofthem, his face darkens and he chokes with inward gloom.
He hides himself from his people because of the bad news he hasheard, asking himself whether he should retain her with disgraceor bury her in the dust. Beware! Evil is the judgement they makeabout Allah.
Yet when a new born-girl - the gender that they ascribe to theCompassionate - is announced to one of them, his face darkens andhe is filled with grief.
In fact the example of the birth of Isa ( Jesus) in the sight ofAllah is like the example of Adam who had no father and mother,whom He created out of dust, then said to him: "Be" and he was.
This is the Truth from your Rabb, therefore, do not be of thosewho doubt it.
If anyone disputes with you concerning this matter (the birth ofJesus) after full knowledge has come to you, say: "Come! Let usgather our sons and your sons, our women and your women,ourselves and yourselves: then let us earnestly pray and invokethe curse of Allah on the liars."
Verily this is the absolute true explanation. The fact of thematter is, that there is no god but Allah; and for sure Allah isthe Mighty, the Wise.
But if they turn away from accepting this challenge, it will beclear proof of their mischief and Allah has the full knowledge ofmischief-makers.
Say: "O people of the Book! Let us get together on what is commonbetween us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah; that weshall not associate any partners with Him; that we shall not takefrom among ourselves any lords beside Allah." If they reject yourinvitation then tell them: "Bear witness that we are Muslims (whohave surrendered to Allah)."
O Muhammad, say: "Come, I will recite what your Rabb hasforbidden to you: not to commit shirk with Him, to be kind toyour parents, not to kill your children making the excuse ofinability to support them - We provide sustenance for you and forthem - not to commit shameful deeds whether open or secret, notto kill any soul forbidden by Allah except for the requirementsof justice. These are the things which He enjoined you so thatyou may learn wisdom.
You shall not kill your children for fear of want, for it is WeWho provide sustenance for them as well as for you; surelykilling them is a great blunder.
But if anyone commits a crime and charges an innocent person withit (a Muslim from the tribe of Bani Dhafar committed theft andput the blame on a Jew who was innocent), he indeed shall bearthe guilt of slander and a flagrant sin.
We are quite aware what they really wish to hear when they listento you, and what they say when they converse in private. Thesewrongdoers say to one another: "The man you follow is surelybewitched"
See what sort of examples they make up about you! They havesurely gone astray and cannot find the Right Way.
But the example of an evil word is that of an evil tree, which istorn out from the earth and has no stability.
The Jews say: Allah's hand is tied up! - Nay! Their own handswill be tied up and they will be cursed for what they utter. Bothof His hands are free; However, He spends as He pleases. The factis that the revelations that have come to you from Allah willsurely make many of them increase in their wickedness andunbelief. We have stirred among them enmity and hatred till theDay of Resurrection. Every time they kindle the fire of war,Allah extinguishes it. Now they are striving to spread mischiefin the land. Allah does not love those who do mischief.
Those who say: "The Compassionate (God) has begotten a son,
You shall certainly be tested with by means of your wealth andwith your persons; and you will certainly hear much that ishurtful from those who were given the Book before you, and fromthe mushrikin. But if you endure with patience and have fear ofAllah, this will surely be a proof of your firm determination.

Indeed Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. Obelievers, call for Allah's blessings on him and salute him withall respect.
But those who have played blind in this world will be blind inthe hereafter, rather worse than blind in finding the Way toSalvation.
Likewise enjoin the believing women to lower their gaze and guardtheir modesty; not to display their beauty and ornaments exceptwhat normally appears thereof; let them draw their veils overtheir bosoms and not display their charms except to theirhusbands, their fathers, their fathers-in-law, their own sons,their stepsons, their own brothers, their nephews on eitherbrothers' or sisters' sides, their own womenfolk, their ownslaves, male attendants who lack sexual desires or small childrenwho have no carnal knowledge of women. Also enjoin them not tostrike their feet in order to draw attention to their hiddentrinkets. And O believers! Turn to Allah in repentance, all ofyou, about your past mistakes, so that you may attain salvation.
He has forbidden you to eat dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine,and that on which any name other than Allah has been invoked; butif someone is compelled by absolute necessity, intending neitherto sin nor to transgress, he shall incur no sin. Surely Allah isForgiving, Merciful.
You are forbidden to eat the meat of any animal that dies byitself (dead body), blood, the flesh of swine (pork) and that onwhich any name other than Allah has been invoked; also that whichis strangled to death , killed by a violent blow, killed by aheadlong fall and of those beaten or gored to death; and thatwhich has been partly eaten by a wild animal unless you are ableto slaughter it before its death; also that which is sacrificedon altars or is divided by raffling of arrows. All these aresinful acts. Today the unbelievers have given up all their hopeof vanquishing your religion. Have no fear of them, fear Me.Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favorupon you and approved Al-Islam as a Deen (way of life for you).Anyone who is compelled by hunger to eat what is forbidden, notintending to commit sin, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
O Muhammad tell them: I did not find in what has been revealed tome anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it,except the meat of an already dead animal, or running blood orthe flesh of swine (pork) - for these are unclean - or flesh ofan animal which has become profane because of slaughtering in thenames other than Allah. Even so, if anyone is forced in ahelpless situation, intending neither disobedience nortransgression, you will find your Rabb Forgiving, Merciful.
He has only forbidden you to eat carrion (meat of dead a body),blood, pork, and that over which any name other than Allah hasbeen invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, intendingneither to break the Divine Law nor to transgress limits, thensurely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Those who believed (embraced Islam) afterwards, migrated andjoined you in Jihad - they too are your brothers, althoughaccording to the Book of Allah the blood relatives have greaterrights on one other. Indeed Allah knows everything.
The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves andhis wives are as their mothers. Blood relatives have a greaterclaim on one another than the other believers and the Muhajirin(early Muslims who migrated from Makkah to Madinah) according tothe Book of Allah: although you are permitted to some good(through leaving bequests) for your friends . This has beenwritten in the Book of Allah.
Also remember another covenant which We took from you: That youshall not shed blood among yourselves and you shall not expelyour own people from your homes; you confirmed it and you arewitness to it.
Yet there you are, killing your own people, expelling a groupamongst you from their homes, backing each other with sin andaggression; and if they come to you as captives, you trade themfor ransoms whereas their expulsion was unlawful for you to beginwith. Do you believe in a part of your Holy Book and reject therest? So what other punishment do such people among you, whobehave like this, deserve, than disgrace in this world and to bedriven to grievous punishment on the Day of Judgment? Allah isnot unaware of what you do.
Such are the people who trade the life of this world at theexpense of the Hereafter; so neither their punishment shall belightened nor shall they be helped.
But if We let him taste any favor after adversity has afflictedhim, then he says: "All my sorrows are gone from me," and hebecomes jubilantly arrogant.
Do not be like those who started from their homes recklessly andin order to be seen by everybody and debar others from the Way ofAllah. Allah encompasses all their actions.
Have you noticed the words of that person who rejects OurRevelations yet boasts: "I shall always be given wealth andchildren".
Has he gained knowledge of the Unseen or has he been awarded acontract by the Compassionate (Allah)?
By no means! We write down what he says and We will make hispunishment long and terrible.
We will inherit all that he boasts of, and he will come back toUs all alone leaving all these things behind.
Surely Allah knows whoever they invoke besides Him; He is theAll-Mighty, the Wise.
Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield smitetheir necks and, when you have thoroughly subdued them, then takeprisoners of war and bind them firmly. After the war lay down herburdens, then you have the choice whether you show them favor oraccept ransom. Thus are you commanded. If Allah wanted, HeHimself could have punished them; but He adopted this way so thatHe may test some of you by means of others. As for those who areslain in the cause of Allah, He will never let their deeds belost.
O believers! When the believing women seek refuge with you, testthem. Allah best knows their faith. If you find them truebelievers, do not send them back to the unbelievers. They are notlawful to the unbelievers, nor are the unbelievers lawful tothem. Return to their unbelieving husbands what they have spenton them. There is no blame on you if you marry such women,provided you give them their dowers. Do not hold on to yourmarriages with unbelieving women. Demand what you have spent onthem and let the unbelievers do the same. This is the order ofAllah which He has decreed between you. Allah is All-Knowing,All-Wise.
If you do not get back the demanded amount that you have spent onyour disbelieving wives from the unbelievers, and your turncomes, to pay the demanded amount of Muslim wives to theunbelievers, you can offset the amount and pay those whose wiveshave fled the equivalent of the amount they have spent on theirdisbelieving wives. Fear Allah, in Whom you believe.
