* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn


{ قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلاَمٌ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي ٱلْكِبَرُ وَٱمْرَأَتِي عَاقِرٌ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ }

He said ‘My Lord! How shall I have a boy a son when old age has overtaken me that is after I have reached extreme old age 120 years old; and my wife is barren?’ having reached the age of 98. He said ‘So it the matter will be’ with God creating a boy from both of you. ‘God does what He will’ nothing can prevent Him therefrom and in order to manifest this great power he was inspired with the question so that he would be answered through it this great power. And when his soul longed for the swift fulfilment of that of which good tidings had been given
