Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah
will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful."
[Mention, O Muhammad], when the wife of 'Imran said, "My Lord, indeed I
have pledged to You what is in my womb, consecrated [for Your service], so
accept this from me. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing."
But when she delivered her, she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a
female." And Allah was most knowing of what she delivered, "And the male
is not like the female. And I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for
her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the expelled [from the
mercy of Allah ]."
So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a
good manner and put her in the care of Zechariah. Every time Zechariah
entered upon her in the prayer chamber, he found with her provision. He
said, "O Mary, from where is this [coming] to you?" She said, "It is from
Allah . Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account."
So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber,
"Indeed, Allah gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from
Allah and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet
from among the righteous."
He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He Said, "Your sign is that you
will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by
gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the
evening and the morning."
