Surah Āl ʿImrān — The Miraculous Birth, Manifest Signs, and Sincere Devotion of the Disciples of 'Isa
Verses 3:46–52 · Page 56
📖 About This Page
Page 56 presents the extraordinary details surrounding the life and mission of 'Isa (Jesus), beginning with the prophecy that he would speak to mankind from the cradle and in maturity as one of the righteous. Upon receiving these glad tidings, Maryam wonders how she can bear a child when no man has touched her. The celestial response establishes the supreme sovereignty of divine creation: when Allah decrees a matter, He simply says to it, "Be," and it is.
The verses outline the sublime knowledge, scriptures, and unparalleled miracles given to 'Isa to manifest his truth to the Children of Israel. These extraordinary signs include breathing life into birds shaped from clay, healing the blind from birth, curing the leper, and raising the dead—all occurring exclusively by the permission of Allah. Finding persistence in disbelief among his people, 'Isa calls for allies in the cause of Allah, prompting his loyal disciples to step forward, declaring their unwavering belief and submitting entirely as Muslims.
Alhamdulillah, this sequential layout provides an authentic, systematic reference to properly study and appreciate these vital structural milestones of faith.
🕌 Arabic Text (Page 56)
🌍 English Translation — Sahih International
46. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
47. She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allah; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
48. And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel
49. And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
50. And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me.
51. Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path.'"
52. But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."

Ikhfā' Shaqīqī / Ḥaqīqī (Concealment):
Ensure the correct nasal concealment of the static Nun Sakinah or Tanween sounds when followed immediately by letters of concealment. Pay careful attention when reciting phrases like anṣārī ilā... or kun-fayakūn (verse 47).
Madd Jā'iz Munfaṣil (Permissible Detached Elongation):
When a natural long vowel character sits at the end of a word and the hamzah appears at the very beginning of the next word, apply a measured elongation of 2 to 5 counts, such as in the phrases inna-llāha rabbī or wa-ubri'u al-akmaha (verse 49).
Idghām bi Ghunnah (Nasal Blending):
Observe full sound assimilation accompanied by a warm 2-count nasal resonance where Tanween collides directly with the letter Waw or Ya, like in the structural phrase āyatam-mir-rabbikum (verse 50).
Qalqalah (Echo sound):
The letter Qaf in words like yaqḍī (verse 47) and the letter Ba in bi-idhni-llāh (verse 49) must carry a sharp, rebounding acoustic echo if static with a sukoon or during standard structural pausing.
