Surah Maryam ayat 9 Tafsir Quran 19:9

﴿قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ رَبُّكَ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئًا﴾
[ مريم: 9]

19:9 [An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "

He said ‘It the matter in question of creating a boy from both of you shall be so! Your Lord says “It is easy for Me namely to restore your sexual potency and tear open your wife’s womb in preparation for conception for I certainly created you before when you were nothing”’ you were nothing before your created form became manifest. As God wished to manifest this great power He inspired him the form of the question in order for him to receive the response that will indicate it this power. And when his soul yearned for the prompt arrival of that whereof he had been given good tidings

So be it, says Allah, your Creator; this is an easy act actuated upon My swill and I have created you earlier when you were non-existent

Then he ( the angel ) mentioned to him that which is more amazing than what he was asking about.
The angel said that the Lord said, وَقَدْ خَلَقْتُكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَمْ تَكُ شَيْئاً ( Certainly I have created you before, when you had been nothing! ) This is similar to Allah's statement, هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإِنسَـنِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئاً مَّذْكُوراً ( Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was not a thing worth mentioning ) 76:1

(19:9) In answer, it was said, "So shall it be. Your Lord says, `This is easy for Me, even as I created you before this, when you were nothing at all' ." *6

[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; meaning

*6) This dialogue is meant to impress that Allah is able to do whatever He wills and can make an impotent man and a barren woman give birth to a child, and likewise a virgin can be made to conceive a child.
