Transliteration:( Wassalaamu 'alaiya yawma wulidtu wa yawma amootu wa yawma ub'asu haiyaa )
"And peace is on me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised alive [55]." (Kanzul Imaan Translation)
This verse shows that Prophets are under Allah’s protection at the three critical points of human existence:
At birth
At death
At resurrection
Such peace is a divine favour exclusive to chosen servants, confirming their safety from satanic influence, punishment, and disgrace throughout existence.
This verse also proves that Prophets have knowledge of their destiny. Therefore, anyone claiming the Holy Prophet ﷺ did not know his final end is refuting the truth expressed in the Qur’an.
Additionally:
Hazrat Isa (on whom be peace) first declared his servitude to Allah, rejecting any claim of divinity.
He affirmed the chastity of his mother through his own pure nature, as such a noble child can only be born from a pure and righteous mother.
He described his own attributes as divine blessings, not arrogance — a common prophetic method when defending truth.
This reinforces that prophethood is the highest spiritual status, and that both Hazrat Isa and Sayyidah Maryam were chosen, pure, and under divine favor.

Please refer to Surah Maryam ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 33.
(19:33) Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive.”[21]
21. This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the sign to which the angel referred in (Surah Maryam, Ayat 21). As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah.
