The Fiat of Mary is her acceptance of the angel Gabriel's announcment that she would bear the Son of God, with these words, 'I am the Lord's servant, May it be to me as you have said'.
This may well refer to the greeting with which the Angel Gabriel first addressed Mary when the news of Mary being the future mother of Jesus was brought:26And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Yes!Angel Gabriel is the 'Chief' of the Angels - why would God come down to earth to speak to humans - God sends humans as Prophet to speak to humans,But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me (i.e. the One and Only True God) and live." [Exodus 33:20]"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' [Luke 16:29].
Yes, according to Islamic tradition, some others besides the Prophet Muhammad reportedly encountered the angel Gabriel. Notably, figures such as Mary (Maryam) are believed to have seen Gabriel when he announced the birth of Jesus (Isa). Additionally, some Islamic traditions suggest that other prophets and righteous individuals may have experienced visions or communications with Gabriel, but Muhammad is the most prominent figure associated with direct revelations from the angel.
When a woman has a child, even the son of God. Mary's attention would have been on the welfare of the child. She knew that her newborn was the Sone of God as the angel had told her. Having shepherds come to visit, also the Wise Men would have been not suprise to her. We do not know what her thoughts were. It is most likely that she knew that these visitors knew who the child was and so allowed them to revere Him just like any other mother would.
These words were spoken by Mary, the mother of Jesus, when the angel Gabriel appeared to her to announce that she would give birth to Jesus. This statement shows Mary's humble acceptance of God's plan for her life.
Yes.According to Matthew 1:18-25, when Joseph found out his bride-to-be was pregnant, he was stunned, because he knew the child could not be his.But because he did not want to publicly disgrace Mary, he considered quietly ending their engagement.However, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him not to be afraid to take Mary home with him to be his wife, because she was pregnant through the Holy Spirit. The angel went on to tell Joseph the baby's name was to be "Jesus," because He would save His people from their sins.This was in fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy that the Messiah would be born to a virgin (Isaiah 7:14) and would also be called "Immanuel," which means "God with us," confirming the deity of Jesus.To Joseph's eternal credit, he did exactly what the angel told him to do and took Mary home to live with him as his wife. However, out of his immense respect for what was happening, he did not consummate their marriage until after the baby was born.When their miracle baby was born - in obedience to the angel's instructions - Joseph named him, "Jesus."Who was the angel that appeared to Joseph? The Bible doesn't say. However, it may have been the angel Gabriel, who appeared to Mary (Luke 1:26-27) and six months earlier to her relative Elizabeth's husband Zechariah, to announce the impending late-life birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:8-24).
The Archangel GABRIEL or Jibril (جبريل) told Muhammad that he was to recite the Qur'an. It Waraqah ibn Nawfal, an Ebionite Christian Priest who specifically used the term "prophet".
Mary's response is recorded in Luke 1. Initially she was surprised because she was a virgin, then she was submissive to God's plan, and finally Mary showed great joy and praised God in her words which are sometimes referred to as the Magnificat. 34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 38And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 46And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Luke 1: 26-38 26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." 34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[c] the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God." 38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.
When the angel Gabriel did come to visit Mary wit the good news , she was not even married at that time. And in those days girls got married very early in their lives, so she was about 17 years only.
