Following the story of John the BAPTIST; here comes the story of Jesus Christ, and his mother, who gave birth to him as a virgin and without a husband! For that, her family abused her, and knew her baby as a disgrace to her lineage. But her son in the cradle defended his mother, and claimed to be a prophet of God; with wisdom, authority, and Book!

      John was born of an old father and a barren mother, and stranger than that; Jesus was born of a virgin mother, and had no father at all! Both of them later proved to be the signs of God, and also a Mercy from Him to His servants.

      It happened so that Mary left the Temple, and found a privacy in the east of the town for prayer and devotion. She then fixed a veil or partition, to make an enclosure, so as to be safe from eyes and their unlawful looks. But Lo! The angel of God personified, and appeared to her in the form of a perfect and handsome young man, entering her privacy without leave or welcome!

      The chaste, pious, and God fearing, virgin trembled with fear, seeing the young man intruded her seclusion!? So she at once shouted on him saying:ِ

      ``I seek refuge to the Merciful God from you, if you are a pious man.''

      Saying so, Mary waited for the young man to show his reaction. It was no late, when the man said to her don't worry:ِ

      ``I am a Messenger from your Lord, and have come to grant you a clean pious son!''

      Hearing that, Mary once again trembled with anxiety. She thought of the natural way and means of being pregnant and having a child. Then she took her decision, and frankly and firmly, relying on her piety, said to the young man:ِ

      ``How can it be possible when no man even touches me, and I will never become unchaste and infidel?''

      The young man who claimed to be an angel indifferently said:ِ

      ``So shall it be, as I have already told you. Nothing is ever impossible with your Lord. He wants to make your son a sign, and a Mercy from Him to people. You will be pregnant untouched by any man; and you will give birth to a son as our Lord will, and this is an order decreed by God!''
