Translation
(91) Remember the one who guarded her chastity; so We breathed Our Spirit into her, and made her and her son a sign for all people.
Commentary
(b) The special quality of Mary (Maryam) is said to be that she guarded her chastity. By way of a reward for this, she was made the mother of a prophet who was born by a direct miracle of God.
This is true of common men and women also. Everybody is being tried in this world by being required to keep his urges and desires under control. The more an individual shows self-discipline on this score, the more he will share in God’s special blessings.
