As salamu 'alaykum Mustafa MC,

Yes, I took that translation (thus, interpretation) from the website "The Quranic Arabic Corpus". They do word-by-word translation of the whole Qur'an. It is the best way to read the Qur'an and know what the sentence is saying based on each individual word.

The specific page was:
http://corpus.quran.com/wordbyword.jsp?chapter=4&verse=171

Check it out.
 
Sorry. I should add that the part in which I said he was the fulfilment of the Word which was sent to Mary, is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir is, in fact, more clear on this. It specifically mentions the instance where Jibril (as) says to Maryam about Allah's Command in which He says "Be!" and it is. It was at that point in which Hazrat Isa (as) began to be conceived. This is none other than the dialogue which went on between Maryam and Jibril (as):

"(Al-Masih `Isa, son of Maryam, was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He bestowed on Maryam and a spirit from ﴿created by﴾ Him;) `Isa is only one of Allah's servants and one of His creatures. Allah said to him, `Be', and he was, and He sent him as a Messenger. `Isa was a word from Allah that He bestowed on Maryam, meaning He created him with the word `Be' that He sent with Jibril to Maryam. Jibril blew the life of `Isa into Maryam by Allah's leave, and `Isa came to existence as a result. This incident was in place of the normal conception between man and woman that results in children. This is why `Isa was a word and a Ruh (spirit) created by Allah, as he had no father to conceive him. Rather, he came to existence through the word that Allah uttered, `Be,' and he was, through the life that Allah sent with Jibril."
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir, under verse 4:171)

Salaams.

Before any one gets confused. That is not saying the word BE became Prophet Isa(as). Jesus(Isa) is not a word, never was a word and never will be a word. Be means to exist. Allaah(swt) willed for him to exist through the mere command for him to be.
 
First we need to understand that the Quran in Arabic which is a very powerful language and not all words are used as they sound. Forexampel in the U.S they say lets hit the road, if somebody out there would say What??!

The same thing here in the Quran it is clear that Allah said Jesus is like Adam he created him from sand and told him be so existed. Jesus is the word of God which is "Be" because God said be and Jesus was created in the same way Adam did. For all other human we where born after the whole sperm and egg thing.

For the spirit Jeber was named in the Quran in the same way which means the spirit that belongs to Allah not Allah spirit, to make it closer I can say my hand it could mean my actual hand or something or a hand toy that I posses.
