The Holy Quran 66:12 — Surah At-Tahrim

Arabic text

وَمَرْيَمَ ٱبْنَتَ عِمْرَٰنَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهَا فَنَفَخْنَا فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِنَا وَصَدَّقَتْ بِكَلِمَـٰتِ رَبِّهَا وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِتِينَ

Translation

(For the Mu'mineen, Allaah also gives the example of) Maryam the daughter of Imraan who guarded (restrained) her chastity (from Halaal and Haraam) and into whom We blew Our spirit (the soul We created, causing her to fall pregnant with Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام). She believed in (knew) the words of her Rabb in His scriptures and she was among the obedient (those who were steadfast in service and obedience to Allaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Maryam ﵍: that is, she kept [herself] guarded from everything, both lawful and unlawful. that is, a spirit was breathed in through the angel. Jibril ﵇ blew into the opening of her garment, the result of which was conception, and the Messiah ﵇ was born. (Note)
