PROPHET YAHYA

19:2 (This is) a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariya 

19:3 When he cried out to his Lord privately

19:4 Saying, رَبِّ إِنِّى وَهَنَ ٱلْعَظْمُ مِنِّى وَٱشْتَعَلَ ٱلرَّأْسُ شَيْبًۭا وَلَمْ أَكُنۢ بِدُعَآئِكَ رَبِّ شَقِيًّۭا

“My Lord! Surely my bones have become brittle, and gray hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord!

19:5 And I am concerned about ˹the faith of˺ my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So grant me, by Your grace, an heir

19:6 Who will inherit ˹prophethood˺ from me and the family of Yaqub, and make him, my Lord, pleasing ˹to You˺!”

19:7 "O Zakariya! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be Yahya. We have given that name to none before (him)."

19:8 He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have become extremely old?”

19:9 He said: "So (it will be). Your Lord says; It is easy for Me. Certainly I have created you before, when you had been nothing!"

19:10 Zakariya said, “My Lord! Grant me a sign.” He responded, “Your sign is that you will not ˹be able to˺ speak to people for three nights, despite being healthy.”

19:11 Then he came out to his people from Al-Mihrab (praying place) he told them by signs to glorify Allah's Praises in the morning and in the afternoon.

PROPHET YAHYA

19:12 ˹It was later said,˺ “O Yahya! Hold firmly to the Scriptures( the Taurat)” And We granted him wisdom while ˹he was still˺ a child

19:13 We gave him compassion and purity. He was a pious human being,

19:14 and kind to his parents. He was neither arrogant nor disobedient.

19:15 And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

PROPHET ZAKARIYA(DUA)

21:89 And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord:

  رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِى فَرْدًۭا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ"

O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors."

21:90 So We answered his prayer, granted him John, and made his wife fertile. Indeed, they used to race in doing good, and call upon Us with hope and fear, totally humbling themselves before Us.
