Indeed! GOD chose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran above mankind of their times. Offspring, one of the other, and GOD is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
(Remember) when the wife of Imran said “My Lord! I have solemnly pledge to you what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your service (free from all worldly work; to serve Your Place of worship), so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”
Then when she gave birth to her {child Maryam (Mary)}, she said: “ O my Lord! I have given birth to a female child,”- and GOD knew better what she brought forth,- “And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam (Mary), and I seek refuge with You (GOD) for her and her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast.”
So her Lord (GOD) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariya (Zechariah). Every time he entered to visit her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: “ O Maryam (Mary)! From where have you got this?” She said, “This is from GOD.” Verily, GOD provides sustenance to whom he wills, without limit. (3:33-37)
