What is the wisdom and reason behind our Lady Mary giving birth to our Master Jesus without any human touching her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Quran explicitly states the wisdom behind the creation of Jesus without a father in the Almighty's saying: (And that We might make him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Us).

Ibn Kathir explained that this verse indicates Allah's power, Who diversified the creation of humans: He created Adam without a father or mother, Hawwa (Eve) from a male without a female, the rest of humanity from a male and a female, and Jesus from a female without a male.

Al-Sa'di added that this demonstrates the perfection of Allah's power and that means do not independently affect anything except by Allah's decree.
