The Holy Quran 3:42 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

وَإِذْ قَالَتِ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ يَـٰمَرْيَمُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَٱصْطَفَىٰكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَآءِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Translation

(Remember the time) When the angels said, “O Maryam رضي الله تعالى عنها, certainly Allaah has chosen you (to bear a special child without any man even touching you), purified you (blessed you with noble qualities and a pure disposition) and preferred you above all the women of the world (no other woman in the world was blessed with these virtues)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

واذكر -أيها الرسول- حين قالت الملائكة: يا مريم إن الله اختاركِ لطاعته وطهَّركِ من الأخلاق الرذيلة، واختاركِ على نساء العالمين في زمانك.
