{Thereupon Zechariah called upon his Lord, saying, “My Lord, grant me from Your own presence pure offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.”} [3:38]

(38)

{So the angels called to him while he stood praying in the sanctuary: “Allah gives you glad tidings of John—one who will confirm a word from Allah, noble, chaste, and a prophet from among the righteous.”} [3:39]

(39)

{He said, “My Lord, how can I have a boy when old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren?” He answered, “Thus does Allah do whatever He wills.”} [3:40]

(40)

{He said, “My Lord, grant me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to people for three days except by gestures. Remember your Lord often and declare His perfection evening and morning.”} [3:41]

(41)

{And when the angels said, “Mary, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, be devout to your Lord, prostrate yourself, and bow with those who bow.”} [3:42]

(43)

{That is news of the unseen which We reveal to you. You were not with them when they cast their lots to decide who should be guardian of Mary, nor were you with them when they disputed.} [3:44]

(44)

{When the angels said, “Mary, Allah gives you glad tidings of a word from Him: his name will be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, illustrious in this world and the Hereafter and one of those brought near.} [3:45]

(45)

{He will speak to people in the cradle and in maturity, and he will be among the righteous.”} [3:46]

(46)

{She said, “My Lord, how can I have a child when no man has touched me?” He said, “Thus does Allah create whatever He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.”} [3:47]

(47)

{And He will teach him the Scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel,} [3:48]

(48)

{and make him a messenger to the Children of Israel: “I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I fashion for you out of clay the form of a bird, then breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s permission. I heal the blind from birth and the leper, and I revive the dead, by Allah’s permission. I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Surely in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.} [3:49]

(49)

{And [I come] confirming what is before me of the Torah, and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so be mindful of Allah and obey me.} [3:50]

(50)

{Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him; this is a straight path.”} [3:51]

(51)

{But when Jesus sensed disbelief from them, he said, “Who are my helpers for Allah?” The disciples said, “We are the helpers of Allah; we believe in Allah, so bear witness that we are Muslims.”} [3:52]

(52)

{“Our Lord, we have believed in what You have revealed and we have followed the Messenger, so register us among the witnesses.” And they plotted, and Allah plotted, and Allah is the best of plotters.} [3:53]

(54)

{When Allah said, “Jesus, I will take you and raise you to Myself, purify you from those who disbelieve, and place those who follow you above the disbelievers until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me you will all return, and I will judge between you regarding that about which you differed.} [3:55]

(55)

{As for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.} [3:56]

(56)

{But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will grant them their full rewards, and Allah does not love the wrongdoers.} [3:57]

(57)

{That is what We recite to you of the verses and the wise Reminder.} [3:58]

(58)

{Surely the likeness of Jesus in Allah’s sight is as the likeness of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was.} [3:59]

(59)

{The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt.} [3:60]

(60)

{So whoever argues with you about him after knowledge has come to you, say, “Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves; then let us earnestly supplicate and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars.”} [3:61]

(61)

{Indeed, this is the true narrative. There is no deity except Allah, and Allah is the Mighty, the Wise.} [3:62]

(62)

{But if they turn away, then surely Allah knows the corrupters.} [3:63]

(63)

{Say, “People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you: that we will worship none but Allah, associate nothing with Him, and that none of us will take others as lords besides Allah.” If they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims.” People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham when the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Will you not reason?} [3:64]

(65)

{Here you are—those who argued about matters of which you had knowledge—so why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? Allah knows and you do not know.} [3:66]

(66)

{Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian; rather, he was an upright monotheist, a Muslim, and he was not of the polytheists.} [3:67]

(67)

{Indeed, the people who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and this Prophet, and those who believe; and Allah is the Protector of the believers.} [3:68]
