[[Qur'an|Qur'anic]] verses 21:91 and 66:12 suggest that [[Allah]] breathed into [[Mary|Maryam]]'s vagina in order to conceive [[Jesus|Isa]]. When looking at the [[tafsir]]s we find that Allah did this by sending the angel [[Gabriel|Jibreel]] to complete this task. The word "Farj" is used in these verses to indicate where Allah/Jibreel blew, and Farj means "vagina." The verse uses "Farjaha" which means "her vagina." | |||
