The answer

Allah entrusted Gabriel (peace be upon him) with the creation of Jesus (peace be upon him) in the womb of his mother, Mary, where he breathed the spirit into her by Allah's command. Gabriel appeared to her in the form of a human, and Mary conceived him just as women conceive their children. Allah made him a sign for humanity, demonstrating His power. As for the breathing of the spirit into the rest of humanity, it occurs after four months of the fetus's formation, and an angel, whose name is not known, is entrusted with this task.
