The Quran’s Disrespect of Mary

The Muslim text describes the manner in which Allah impregnated Mary in a crude, vulgar, disgusting manner:

And Mary Amran's daughter who remained chaste (protected) HER GENITAL PARTS (farjaha) BETWEEN HER LEGS, SO WE BLEW IN IT from Our Soul/Spirit, and she confirmed/was truthful with her Lord's words/expressions, and His Books, and she was from the worshipping humble. Muhammad Ahmed & Samira (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st19.htm#gsc.tab=0)

The Arabic term farj in this context literally means Mary’s private part, e.g., her vagina/vulva!

In other words, the Quran pictures Allah as blowing into a woman’s vagina/vulva, which is a very sick and perverted way to speak of Jesus’ conception from his holy and blessed mother.    

This is a fact admitted by Dr. Mahmoud M. Ayoub who contrasts the birth narratives of the Gospel of Luke with that mentioned in the Quran. All emphasis is mine:

"The language of this verse (author- Luke 1:35) is clearly circumspect. It implies no sexual union or divine generation of any kind. Furthermore, while Luke's description agrees both in form and spirit with the Qur'anic idea of the conception of Christ, the language of the Qur'an IS FAR MORE GRAPHIC AND OPEN TO INTERPRETATION." (Christian-Muslim Encounters, ed. Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad & Wadi Z. Haddad [University Press of Florida, 1995], p. 67)

He goes on to say:

"... Then of Mary He (author-allegedly God) continues: ‘And she who guarded well [lit. fortified] her chastity [lit. GENERATIVE ORGAN], and thus We breathed INTO HER of our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign [or miracle, 'Aya] for all beings’ (S. 21:90-91)...

"In the second instance the Qur'an speaks of Mary as a righteous woman who lived in strict chastity and obedience to God: ‘And Mary daughter of 'Imran who guarded well her GENERATIVE ORGAN farjaha, and thus We breathed INTO HER of our spirit’ (S. 66:12)THE BOLD AND GRAPHIC STATEMENT APPEARS TO HAVE SHOCKED TRADITIONISTS AND COMMENTATORS, so that most of them tried to cover it up with different and FARFETCHED significations or glossed over it with out comment...

"Ibn Kathir interprets the phrase ‘guarded well her generative organ’ to mean: ‘safeguarded and protected it. Guarding well ihsan signifies chastity and high birth.’ He comments on the phrase, ‘and thus We breathed into it of our spirit’ thus ‘that is, through the angel Gabriel. This is because God sent him to her, and he took for her the form of a man of good stature (S. 19:17). God commanded him to breathe INTO THE BREAST OF HER CHEMISE. HIS BREATH WENT DOWN AND PENETRATED HER GENERATIVE ORGAN, AND THUS CAUSED HER TO CONCEIVE JESUS ...’" (Ibid.)

Finally:

"Abu Ja'far al-Tusi, the jurist doctor of the Shi'i community, as well as his well known disciple al-Tabarsi, read the words, ‘We breathed INTO IT’ literally. Al-Tusi says: ‘It has been held that Gabriel BREATHED INTO MARY'S GENERATIVE ORGAN then God created Christ in it’..." (Ibid., p. 68)

Speaking of Ibn Kathir, here is how this renowned Quranic commentator explained Q. 66:12:

<And Maryam, the daughter of 'Imran who guarded her chastity (PRIVATE PART).> meaning who protected and purified her honor, by being chaste and free of immorality,

<And We breathed INTO IT (PRIVATE PART) through Our Ruh,> meaning, through the angel Jibril. Allah sent the angel Jibril to Maryam, and he came to her in the shape of a man in every respect. Allah commanded him TO BLOW into a gap of her garment and that breath went into her womb THROUGH HER PRIVATE PART; this is how 'Isa was conceived. This is why Allah said here,

<And We breathed INTO IT through Our Ruh, and she testified to the truth of her Lords Kalimat, and His Kutub,> meaning His decree and His legislation. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir - Abridged, Volume 10, Surat At-Tagabun to the end of the Qur'an, pp. 75-76; emphasis mine) 

And here is what Ibn Kathir stated in reference to Q. 19:22-23:

"Allah, the Exalted, informs about Maryam that when Jibril had spoken to her about what Allah said, she accepted the decree of Allah. Many scholars of the predecessors (Salaf) have mentioned that at this point the angel (who was Jibril) blew into the opening of her garment that she was wearing. Then the breath descended until it entered INTO HER VAGINA and she conceived by the leave of Allah." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged, Volume 6, Surat Al-Isra', Verse 39 To the end of Surat Al-Mu'minun, first edition July 2000, p. 244; emphasis mine)

Lest a Muslim object to the meaning assigned to the Arabic word farj, note how the following lexicon defines this term:

Fa-Ra-Jiim = To open, separate, cleave, split, enlarge, part, let a space between, make a room, comfort anything in, dispel cares. An opening, intervening space [gap or breach] between two things. Ex: Parting hind legs or intervening spaces between fingers.

He opened, made room, ample space.

Furijat - Cloven, split, rent, opened.

Farjun (Pl. Furuj) - PUDENDA (SEX ORGAN); chastity, space between legs (of horse or mare), part/s of a person (male/female) INDECENT TO EXPOSE, EXTERNAL PORTIONS OF THE ORGANS OF GENERATION [OF A MALE/FEMALE]. ALSO THE POSTERIOR OF PUDENDUM because it is a place of opening, of between the legs. 

faraja vb. (1) perf. pass. 77:9

farj n.m. (pl. furuj) 21:91, 23:5, 24:30, 24:31, 33:35, 50:6, 66:12, 70:29

This explains why the following Muslim translations all render the Arabic of Q. 66:12 in a rather graphic and crude manner:

And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who fortified her GENITALIA, SO WE BLEW WITHIN IT among Our Spirit; and she confirmed with her Lord’s Words and His Books, and she was among the devoutly obedient. Samy Mahdy (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st87.htm#gsc.tab=0)

And Mary, the daughter of Imran, who guarded her PRIVATE PARTS, SO WE BREATHED INTO IT of Our Spirit and she established as true the Words of her Lord and His Books and she had been among the ones who are morally obligated. Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st46.htm#gsc.tab=0)

And Maryam, the daughter of Imran who guarded HER PRIVATE SEXUAL PART, SO We introduced therein out of Our Spirit. And she testified to the truth of the statements of her Nourisher-Sustainer and His Writings. And she happened to be out of those who are content. Dr. Kamal Omar (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st48.htm#gsc.tab=0)

And Mary, daughter of Imran, who guarded HER PRIVATE PART, then WE BLEW from Our breath of life (or spirit) INTO IT and she confirmed her Lord's words and His books, and she was of the obedient ones. Ali Bakhtiari Nejad (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st65.htm#gsc.tab=0)

Also (Wa) Mary (Mar'yama) the daughter (Eb'nata) of Amram (Em'raana), who (Ellatii) fortified (Ah'sonat') her PRIVATE PART (Far'ja-haa), so (Fa) WE BLEW (Nafakh'naa) THEREIN (Fiihi) from (Min) Our spirit (Ruuhi-naa), and (Wa) she gave credence to (Soddaqat' Bi) the words (Kalimaati) of her LORD (Rabbi-haa) and HIS books (Kutubi-hi) and (Wa) was (Kaanat') of (Mina) the obedient (El'Qaanitiin). Shuaib Abdullahi (https://islamawakened.com/quran/66/st100.htm#gsc.tab=0)

Such a disrespectful and distasteful way of describing Jesus’ conception simply proves that the Quran is the product of a demonically sick, demented and perverted mind.
