10) A Pure And Flawless Boy (غلام زكي)
Jibril (the angel Gabriel according to the Qur'an) told the Virgin Mary in Sura Maryam 19:19 that she would give birth to a pure and flawless boy. The word "pure" (zakiy), according to some commentators of the Qur'an, means that he will be born unharmed by Satan, and that he will remain safe, blameless, chaste and holy. The Spirit of Allah sanctified the Son of Mary and filled him with his power from his birth.
