The Holy Quran 21:91 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

وَٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهَا مِن رُّوحِنَا وَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا وَٱبْنَهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Translation

And (remember) the woman (Maryam عليها الصلاة والسلام) who guarded her chastity. We blew Our spirit (a spirit that We created) within her (allowing her to conceive Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام) and made her and her son an Aayah for the universe (to prove to people that We can indeed create without the usual means).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, she was guarded from both ways, the lawful and the unlawful. That is, We nurtured in her womb Isa ﵇, who bears the title “the Spirit of Allah”. That they are a “sign” has already been explained in Surah Ali 'Imran and Surah Maryam.
