قَالَتْ رَبِّ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِى وَلَدٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِى بَشَرٌ ۖ قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ ٱللَّهُ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿47﴾

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 47) {اَنّٰى يَكُوْنُ لِيْ وَلَدٌ وَّ لَمْ يَمْسَسْنِيْ بَشَرٌ:} When Maryam (peace be upon her) was given the glad tidings of a boy, she expressed amazement—not at its impossibility, but at how it would happen, since the apparent means were not present. She said, no man has ever touched me, so how will I have a child!? It was said: "Allah creates whatever He wills in this way." In the story of Zakariya (peace be upon him) { ’’ يَفْعَلُ ‘‘} and here {’’ يَخْلُقُ ‘‘} was said. The first word is general, because there both husband and wife were present, though they were old. { ’’ يَخْلُقُ ‘‘ } is specific, because without a man, the means are not complete at all. See also Surah Maryam (20, 21).

The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

47. 1. Your amazement is justified, but for the Divine Power, this is not a difficult matter at all. Whenever He wills, He can end the chain of customary and apparent means, and with the command "Kun," accomplish whatever He wishes in the blink of an eye.
