Chapter 19, Page 306, Juz 16

1. Kaf. Ha'. Ya'. Ayn. Sad. 2. This is an account of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah 3. when he cried to his Lord in secret. 4. He said: "Lord! My bones have grown feeble and my head is glistening with age; yet, never have my prayers to You, my Lord, been unfruitful. 5. I fear evil from my kinsmen after I am gone; and my wife is barren, so grant me an heir out of Your special grace, 6. one that might be my heir and the heir of the house of Jacob; and make him, Lord, one that will be pleasing to You. 7. (He was told): "Zechariah, We bring you the good news of the birth of a son whose name shall be Yahya (John), one whose namesake We never created before." 8. He said: "My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife is barren and I have reached an extremely old age?" 9. He answered: "So shall it be." Your Lord says: "It is easy for Me," and then added: "For beyond doubt, I created you earlier when you were nothing." 10. Zechariah said: "Lord, grant me a Sign." Said He: "Your Sign is that you shall not be able to speak to people for three nights, though you will be otherwise sound." 11. Thereupon Zechariah came out from the sanctuary and directed his people by gestures to extol His glory by day and by night. 12. "O John! Hold the Book with all your strength." We had bestowed wisdom upon him while he was still a child; 13. and We also endowed him with tenderness and purity, and he was exceedingly pious 14. and cherishing to his parents. Never was he insolent or rebellious. 15. Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he will die, and the day he will be raised up alive.
