A significant understanding, and one whose relevance cannot be ignored here, occurs in the Quran. The Quran calls Jesus a ‘Word’ from God. Among Quranic scholars, the prevalent understanding of this description of Jesus is that Jesus was created inside Mary’s womb as the result of a ‘word’ from God, the word ‘Be.’ Jesus was then formed inside Mary’s womb, without the need of a human father: The angels said, “O Mary, God sends to you good news: a word from Him to be called the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this world and, in the Hereafter, he will be among those close to God.”
