سُوْرَةُ مَرْيَمَ
Surah Maryam (19) — Ayah 21
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُۥٓ ءَايَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا ﴿21﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me (Allâh): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allâh), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allâh).’ "

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
He said, "So it will be. Your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me,' and We will make him a sign for the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter already decreed." [22]

The Birth of Sayyiduna Isa (Jesus) ؑ Was Itself a Miracle:
That is, even though it seems impossible, it is possible and it will certainly happen, because for Allah this is not a difficult task. And this will happen so that We may make this boy a living and everlasting miracle for all people. Then, this boy is also a gift from Us to you out of mercy and grace, and he will prove to be a mercy for all people as well. It should be clear that there can only be four forms of creation. One is that a child is born from both a mother and a father; this is the common case, and all humans or living beings are born this way. The second is to be born without both a mother and a father; in this way, Sayyiduna Adam was created. The third is to be born only from a man, as Lady Hawwa (Eve) was created from Adam. And the fourth is to be born only from a woman; this form had not yet come into existence, which was fulfilled through the birth of Sayyiduna Isa.
