Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 65
At first, she did not know that the unknown person was Gabriel.
Thus, she immediately sought refuge with Allah when he approached
and said that she was a God-fearing believer. Her words make it clear
that she was a God-fearing and chaste servant. Gabriel introduced
himself by stating that he was sent by Allah to give her the following
good news:
He said [to Mary]: "I am only your Lord's messenger so that
He can give you a pure boy." (Surah Maryam, 19)
When the angels said: "Mary, your Lord gives you good news
of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus , son of
Mary, of high esteem in this world and the Hereafter, one of
those brought near." (Surah Al 'Imran, 45)
Mary received this important news and asked Gabriel how she
could have a child while she was still a virgin:
She said: "How can I have a boy when no man has touched
me and I am not an unchaste woman?" He said: "It will be so,
for your Lord says: 'That is easy for Me. It is so that We can
make him a Sign for mankind and a mercy from Us.' It is a
matter already decreed." So she conceived him and withdrew
with him to a distant place. (Surah Maryam, 20-22)
