Delivering the Good News to Maryam of `Isa's Birth This Ayah contains the glad tidings the angels brought to Maryam that she would give birth to a mighty son who will have a great future. Allah said, [ÅöÐú ÞóÇáóÊö ÇáúãóáóÜÆößóÉõ íãóÑúíóãõ Åöäøó Çááøóåó íõÈóÔøöÑõßö ÈößóáöãóÉò ãøöäúåõ] ((Remember) when the angels said: "O Maryam! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings of a Word from Him,) a son who will come into existence with a word from Allah, `Be', and he was. This is the meaning of Allah's statement (about Yahya) [ãõÕóÏøöÞÇð ÈößóáöãóÉò ãøöäó Çááøóåö] (Believing in the Word from Allah.) [3:39], according to the majority of the scholars. [ÇÓúãõåõ ÇáúãóÓöíÍõ ÚöíÓóì ÇÈúäõ ãóÑúíóãó] (His name will be Al-Masih, `Isa, the son of Maryam) and he will be known by this name in this life, especially by the believers. `Isa was called "Al-Masih'' (the Messiah) because when he touched (Mash) those afflicted with an illness, they would be healed by Allah's leave. Allah's statement, [ÚöíÓóì ÇÈúäó ãóÑúíóãó] (`Isa, the son of Maryam) relates `Isa to his mother, because he did not have a father. [æóÌöíåðÇ Ýöí ÇáÏøõäúíóÇ æóÇáÇøñÎöÑóÉö æóãöäó ÇáúãõÞóÑøóÈöíäó] (Held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah.) meaning, he will be a leader and honored by Allah in this life, because of the Law that Allah will reveal to him, sending down the Scripture to him, along with the other bounties that Allah will grant him with. `Isa will be honored in the Hereafter and will intercede with Allah, by His leave, on behalf of some people, just as is the case with his brethren the mighty Messengers of Allah, peace be upon them all.
