See also: Islamic views of MaryIn Sura 19, the Qur'an declares that Jesus was the result of a virgin conception (verses 20-22), and some extend this to mean perpetual virginity of Mary. There is no clear doctrinal belief one way or another as to whether she retained her virginity after Jesus' birth.
In Islam Jesus and Mary were the only two children not be touched by Satan at the moment of their birth, for God placed a veil between them and Satan. The Qur'an says that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. The account of the annunciation and birth of Jesus is provided in Sura 3 and 19 of The Qur'an, where an angel is sent to announce that Mary should expect to bear a son, despite being a virgin.

Famous quotes containing the word perspective:
“All things being equal, I would choose a woman over a man in order to even the balance of power, to insinuate a different perspective into the process, to give young women something to shoot for and someone to look up to. But all things are rarely equal.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
