47. "she said: 'my lord! how can l have a child when no man has touched me?' he said: 'even so allah creates what he pleases. when he decrees a matter (to be), he only says to it 'be!' and it is'." commentary: the will of allah is the cause of creation and he can create without any material means or material cause. allah is the cause of all causes sometimes he takes the effect of a thing from it and sometimes gives a particular effect to a thing the appearance of existence, the maintenance of existence, the effects of existence, and the quantity, the quality and the duration of the effects of all things depend on the will and pleasure of allah the qur'an, in answer to the request of zachariah, says: "even so does allah whatsoever he pleases."1 while in answer to mary it says: "even so allah creates what he pleases" the secret of this difference - does & creates - in the statement may lie in this that a child coming forth from a lady without being touched with a spouse is more surprising than that an old man brings an offspring from his old wife then, to complete this meaning, the qur'an says: " ... when he decrees a matter (to be), he only says to it 'be!' and it is'." explanations: 1. allah is powerful in creation he can create creatures both through the natural means and without natural means. both of them are the same for him, "... he said: `even so allah creates what he pleases when he decrees a matter (to he), he only says to it `be!' and it is '." 2. allah's creation through an unusual way is not a new thing this manner has had some former samples, too. 3. it does not matter for a person to wonder and ask question when its origin is not denial and obtimacy. "she said: `my lord! how can i have a child when no man has touched me ? '..." 1 the qur'an, sura 'ai-i-'imran, no.3, verse 40
