And mention in the Book (the Quran) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Gabriel], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. She said: Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah. The angel) said: I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son. She said: How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste? He said: So (it will be), your Lord said: That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah). So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem). And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight! Then [Jibril (Gabriel)] cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not: your Lord has provided a water stream under you. And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you. So eat and drink and be glad. And if you see any human being, say: Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day. Surah Maryam (19) , Verse 16-26
