Quran 19 Verse 21 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Maryam ayat 21, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(19:21) The angel said: “Thus shall it be. Your Lord says: ‘It is easy for Me; and We shall do so in order to make him a Sign for mankind[15] and a mercy from Us. This has been decreed.’ “
15. The word “Thus shall it be” are very significant as has been stated in (Surah Maryam, ayat 9) note 6. The plain meaning is this: A pure son shall be born to you just as your Lord has decreed, even though no man has touched you. The same was the response to prophet Zachariah as stated in (Surah Maryam, ayat 9) above. And it is a sheer perversion to interpret it as: So shall it be that a man will touch you and a son will be born to you. For, if it were to mean: You will bear a son like all other women of the world, the subsequent two sentences, Your Lord says: This is an easy thing for Me to do, and We will make that boy a sign for the people, would have become meaningless. Had this birth been an ordinary birth like the birth of every other child, there would have been no occasion to boast: It is an easy thing, and that it will be made a sign (miracle). This will be so because the child will speak in the cradle.
