Y: Behold! a woman of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee
what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For
Thou hearest and knowest all things."

P: (Remember) when the wife of 'Imran said: My Lord! I have vowed unto
Thee that which is in my belly as a consecrated (offering). Accept it
from me. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower!

S: When a woman of Imran said: My Lord! surely I vow to Thee what is in
my womb, to be devoted (to Thy service); accept therefore from me,
surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing.

Y: When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered
of a female child!"- and Allah knew best what she brought forth-
"And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, and I
commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the
Rejected."

P: And when she was delivered she said: My Lord! Lo! I am delivered of a
female - Allah knew best of what she was delivered - the male is not as
the female; and lo! I have named her Mary, and lo! I crave Thy
protection for her and for her offspring from Satan the outcast.

S: So when she brought forth, she said: My Lord! Surely I have brought
it forth a female-- and Allah knew best what she brought forth-- and
the male is not like the female, and I have named it Marium, and I
commend her and her offspring into Thy protection from the accursed
Shaitan.

"From Allah: for Allah Provides sustenance to whom He pleases without

P: And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her
a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah

S: So her Lord accepted her with a good acceptance and made her grow up
a good growing, and gave her into the charge of Zakariya; whenever
Zakariya entered the sanctuary to (see) her, he found with her food. He
said: O Marium! whence comes this to you? She said: It is from Allah.
Surely Allah gives to whom He pleases without
