The section between verses 16 and 36 of Sura Maryam<\/i>, in fact, presents an account of Jesus\u2019 birth that is profoundly different from that of the canonical Gospels. The main characters are Maryam, the r\u016b\u1e25<\/b> sent by Allah, the child \u02bf\u012as\u0101, and the community to which Maryam returns after giving birth. In the background, H\u0101r\u016bn, Maryam\u2019s father, and her mother are also mentioned. These figures do not all play a direct role, but they contribute to shaping the meaning of the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paul writes that Jesus was \u201cborn of a woman\u201d (Galatians 4:4), without recounting his conception. His silence does not prove that he denied the virgin birth, but this tradition is not expounded upon in his letters. Mark does not narrate the birth of the Messiah. Matthew and Luke offer different accounts: in the former, we find Joseph\u2019s dream, the Magi, and the flight into Egypt; in the latter, the Annunciation to Mary, the census, and the shepherds.<\/p>\n
The apocryphal writings expand on Mary\u2019s biography. By the time we reach the Quran in the 7th century, these stories had been circulating for centuries. I am interested in observing what is preserved, what changes, and what meaning the new narrative takes on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Maryam turns away from her people and retreats to the east. We do not know precisely where or why. She establishes a separation between herself and others; then the most enigmatic figure in the story appears, in verse 17:<\/p>\n
\u0641\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0631\u064f\u0648\u062d\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0645\u064e\u062b\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064b\u0627 \u0633\u064e\u0648\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064b\u0627
\n<\/strong>\u201cThen We sent Our r\u016b\u1e25 to her, and it appeared to her as a well-formed human being\u201d (Quran 19:17, excerpt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI prefer to leave r\u016b\u1e25 untranslated, as I do with the Hebrew ruach, and observe what is attributed to it. Here, the r\u016b\u1e25 is sent, takes on a human form, and speaks.<\/p>\n
\u0628\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064b\u0627 \u0633\u064e\u0648\u0650\u064a\u064b\u0651\u0627<\/b>

In Luke, however, Gabriel is named in the description of the Annunciation: a difference to keep in mind when comparing the two texts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Messenger and the Announcement of the Son<\/h2>\n
\nMaryam reacts by seeking refuge in the Merciful One. When speaking to Maryam, the r\u016b\u1e25 identifies himself as:<\/p>\n
\u0631\u064e\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064f \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0651\u0643\u0650 \u2014 ras\u016blu rabbiki<\/b>

\n<\/strong>\u201cI am only a messenger from your Lord, so that I may bestow upon you a pure son\u201d (Qur\u2019an 19:19, excerpt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nRas\u016bl denotes the role of messenger, comparable in this respect to that of the biblical mal\u02be\u0101\u1e35. In the passage quoted here, li-ahaba<\/i> means \u201cso that I may bestow\u201d: the messenger speaks in the first person, as one entrusted with a mission to carry out personally, and here the parallel with the Gospel of Luke and Gabriel becomes compelling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Allah and the Plural Form of the Divine Voice<\/h2>\n
\nThe r\u016b\u1e25 is sent by a voice that says:<\/p>\n
\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u2014 arsaln\u0101<\/b>

\n\u201cour r\u016b\u1e25.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nSubsequently, the Lord states:<\/p>\n
\u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u064a\u064e\u0651 \u0647\u064e\u064a\u0650\u0651\u0646\u064c<\/b>
\n\u201cthis is easy for me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe text thus alternates between the plural \u201cwe\u201d and the singular \u201cI.\u201d In Qur\u2019anic grammar and rhetoric, the plural is traditionally interpreted as a plural of majesty or sovereignty; however, we note the use of the plural in this statement.<\/p>\n
The term Allah<\/b> belongs to the Semitic word family based on \u02be-l-h<\/b>, denoting divinity. It can be compared to:<\/p>\n
\n
- \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9\u05d4\u05b7\u05bc \u2014 \u02be\u0115l\u00f4ah<\/b>, Hebrew<\/li>\n

Maryam asks how she can have a son, since no man has touched her\u2014an objection that echoes the one raised to Gabriel in Luke:<\/p>\n
\u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0633\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0628\u064e\u0634\u064e\u0631\u064c<\/b>
\n\u201cwhile no human being has touched me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cTo touch\u201d is a euphemism for sexual intercourse, as it is also in the Bible. In Genesis 20:6, for example, the Hebrew verb n\u0101ga\u02bf<\/b>, \u201cto touch,\u201d is used in a sexual context.<\/p>\n
Maryam adds:<\/p>\n
\u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0643\u064f \u0628\u064e\u063a\u0650\u064a\u064b\u0651\u0627<\/b>
\nwa-lam aku ba\u0121iyy\u0101<\/i>
\n\u201cand I have not been a prostitute.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe surah then moves on to the pregnancy without describing the conception. I note this sequence, but also the limits of what we can infer from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Birth by the Palm Tree and the Return Among the People<\/h2>\n
\nHere we find neither Joseph, nor Bethlehem, nor the shepherds. Maryam is alone: labor pains lead her to a palm tree, and her suffering even makes her wish she had died sooner. A voice reassures her; she is shown dates and refreshment.<\/p>\n
I am struck by the concreteness of the scene, so attentive to the mother\u2019s pain and needs.<\/p>\n
Maryam must shake the trunk of the palm tree to receive fresh dates. The scene combines divine intervention and human action: nourishment is made available, but Maryam must perform a concrete action.<\/p>\n
The palm tree and the water recall the Pseudo-Matthew<\/i>, where they appear during the flight into Egypt. It is a significant parallel that invites comparison without, on its own, implying a direct connection.<\/p>\n
\n
- In Pseudo-Matthew, Jesus has already been born, and the palm tree bends during the flight into Egypt;<\/li>\n
- in the Quran, Maryam gives birth by the palm tree and must shake its trunk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is more prudent to speak of a shared narrative heritage.<\/p>\n
When Maryam returns with the child, her people react with an accusation and address her thus:<\/p>\n
\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064f\u062e\u0652\u062a\u064e \u0647\u064e\u0627\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0646\u064e<\/strong>
\n\u201cO sister of H\u0101r\u016bn\u201d (Quran 19:28, excerpt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe title seems to allude to the biblical Miryam, sister of Aaron. Proposed explanations include a genealogical or symbolic connection, or a reference to a contemporary namesake. The verse does not clarify the actual relationship. Meanwhile, the community contrasts the respectability of Maryam\u2019s parents with her motherhood, which is considered scandalous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u02bf\u012as\u0101: An Extraordinary Birth, a Different Meaning<\/h2>\n
\nMaryam remains silent and points to the child. It is he who speaks:<\/p>\n
\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u0650\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0622\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0646\u0650\u064a\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0643\u0650\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0646\u064e\u0628\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064b\u0627\u00a7<\/strong>
\n\u201cTruly, I am a servant of Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a prophet\u201d (Quran 19:30, excerpt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u02bf\u012as\u0101 defines himself as a servant and a prophet. The birth without a human father\u2014a detail shared by the Qur\u2019anic narrative and the accounts of Matthew and Luke\u2014does not lead to the same theological conclusion. The surah states, in fact:<\/p>\n
\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0643\u064e\u0627\u0646\u064e \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u0650 \u0623\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u062a\u0651\u064e\u062e\u0650\u0630\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u062f\u064d<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt is not befitting for Allah to take a son\u201d (Quran 19:35, excerpt).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThis is a decisive point: in the Quran, the miraculous birth does not equate to divine sonship. Common elements are found in different visions of the relationship between Jesus and God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Reading Without Filling in the Gaps<\/h2>\n
\nVerses 16\u201336 of Sura Maryam<\/i> present a narrative in which each character fulfills a specific role.<\/p>\n
Maryam<\/b> is a woman alone, physically vulnerable but morally steadfast. She withdraws, fears the intruder, endures labor pains, wishes to die, nourishes herself, and returns to her people carrying the child. She offers no defense: she lets the sign itself speak.<\/p>\n
The r\u016b\u1e25<\/b> is a presence sent by Allah that manifests as a perfectly formed human being. It speaks and identifies itself as a messenger. Its identification with Gabriel belongs to Islamic interpretation; the text refers to it only as r\u016b\u1e25<\/b> and ras\u016bl<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Allah<\/b>, repeatedly called ar-Ra\u1e25m\u0101n<\/b>, directs the events. The conception is not described in technical terms: it is presented as a decree brought into effect by the word \u201cBe.\u201d<\/p>\n
The community<\/b> represents social judgment. It interprets Maryam\u2019s pregnancy as a transgression and invokes the honor of her parents and of H\u0101r\u016bn.<\/p>\n
H\u0101r\u016bn<\/b> does not act directly, but his mention links Maryam to the biblical memory of Miriam, Aaron\u2019s sister. The textual connection is evident; its exact historical explanation remains a matter of debate.<\/p>\n
\u02bf\u012as\u0101<\/b> speaks from the cradle, implicitly defends his mother, and presents himself as a servant of Allah, a recipient of the Book, and a prophet. He is a sign and a mercy, but he is not the son of Allah.<\/p>\n
The concluding theological point is clear: the surah acknowledges the virgin birth and attributes exceptional dignity to Maryam, but reinterprets Jesus from a radically non-Christological perspective. The Jesus of Sura 19 does not say \u201cI am God\u201d nor \u201cI am the son of God\u201d; he says first and foremost:<\/p>\n
\u0625\u0650\u0646\u0650\u0651\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0628\u0652\u062f\u064f \u0671\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u0650<\/b>
\ninn\u012b \u02bfabdu ll\u0101hi<\/i>
\n\u201cTruly, I am a servant of Allah.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\nMy advice is always to distinguish the words of the texts from subsequent theological explanations. The chronological distance calls for caution, but a later account retains value for what it documents about the tradition. We can compare these accounts and formulate hypotheses, while acknowledging what remains uncertain. This is where I would like our reasoning to begin, without presuming to have reached the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
