The Holy Quran 5:75 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

مَّا ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُۥ صِدِّيقَةٌ ۖ كَانَا يَأْكُلَانِ ٱلطَّعَامَ ۗ ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱنظُرْ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Translation

Maseeh the son of Maryam is but a Rasool. Many Rusul have passed before him and his mother was extremely truthful (true in her Imaan, a saintly woman). Both of them used to eat food (and could therefore not have been gods because gods have no physical needs). See how We illustrate the proofs (evidence of Towheed) for them, then see how they (still) turn back on their heels!

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, he too is one member of that same holy and sinless company [of messengers]; to make him a god is your folly. Maryam was not a prophet: the conclusion reached by the majority of the Ummah (the Muslim community) is that prophethood was never given to women: this office has always remained reserved for men alone.
