C. 56.(3:31-63)—God’s truth is continuous, and His Apostles

From Adam, through Noah and Abraham,

Down to the last of the Prophets, Muḥammad,

Form one brotherhood. Of the progeny

Of ’Imrān, father of Moses and Aaron,

Sprang a woman, who devoted

Her unborn offspring to God.

The child was Mary the mother of Jesus.

Her cousin was the wife of the priest

Zakarīya, who took charge of Mary.

To Zakarīya, in his old age, was born

A son Yaḥyā, amid prodigies:

Yaḥyā was the herald of Jesus

The son of Mary, and was known

As John the Baptist. Jesus

Was of virgin birth,

And performed many miracles.

But those to whom he came as Prophet

Rejected him, and plotted for his death.

Their plots failed, for God's Plan

Is above man’s plots. So will it be

With Islam, the Truth from all eternity.
