Hadhrat Isa (alayhis Salaam) is mentioned 59 times in the Qur'aan by his name and his titles. His birth was miraculous and sign of the power of Allaah. His mother Hadhrat Maryam رضي الله عنها one day went out somewhere to the east of Baytul Muqaddas when Hadhrat Jibra'eel (alayhis Salaam) came to her and informed her that she would be giving birth to a child named Isa. 

“How can I have a child when no man has touched me?” she asked in surprise.

Hadhrat Jibra'eel (alayhis Salaam) informed her that this was the decision of Allaah and shall come to pass. Allaah then made her give birth to Hadhrat Isa (alayhis Salaam) without the medium of a father. 

When the people saw her with a child, they were shocked and accused her of fornication.

She pointed to the child and the infant addressed the people saying, "I am the servant of Allaah. Allaah is granting me a scripture and has made me a prophet. Allaah has blessed me wherever I may be and commanded me to perform salaah and pay zakaah as long as I am alive. I am obedient to my mother and my birth, my death and my resurrection shall all be a source of blessings and peace for me." 

When the people heard the baby speaking, they were taken aback and changed their opinion of Hadhrat Maryam رضي الله عنها.
