According to the Quran, divine grace surrounded Mary from birth, and, as a young woman, she received a message from God through the archangel Gabriel that God had chosen her, purified her, and had preferred her above all "the women of the worlds."
I Marię, córkę Imrana, która zachowała dziewictwo; tak więc tchnęliśmy w nią nieco z Naszego Ducha.
