How can the creation of Jesus, peace be upon him, without a father be explained, and how can one respond to the whispers of Satan that cast doubt on the clarity of the Qur'anic verses regarding this matter, such as verse 59 of Surah Al 'Imran?

One must stay away from obsessive thoughts and fill their time with things that divert the mind from them. Jesus, peace be upon him, was created without a father by the word "Be!" (Kun) through Allah's command, as Gabriel blew into Mary's garment. He was called "a word" because he came into existence by the word "Be!" without the usual means, and he was made a sign for people and a mercy.
