Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad
Translation 1260
This is an account of your Lord’s grace towards His servant, Zachariah
Translation 1260
when he called to his Lord secretly, saying
Translation 1260
‘Lord, my bones have weakened and my hair is ashen grey, but never, Lord, have I ever prayed to You in vain
Translation 1260
I fear [what] my kinsmen [will do] when I am gone, for my wife is barren, so grant me a successor––a gift from You––
Translation 1260
to be my heir and the heir of the family of Jacob. Lord, make him well pleasing [to You].’
Translation 1260
‘Zachariah, We bring you good news of a son whose name will be John––We have chosen this name for no one before him.’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘Lord, how can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I am old and frail?’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘This is what your Lord has said: “It is easy for Me: I created you, though you were nothing before.” ’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘Give me a sign, Lord.’ He said, ‘Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to anyone for three full [days and] nights.’
Translation 1260
He went out of the sanctuary to his people and signalled to them to praise God morning and evening
Translation 1260
[We said], ‘John, hold on to the Scripture firmly.’ While he was still a boy, We granted him wisdom
Translation 1260
tenderness from Us, and purity. He was devout
Translation 1260
kind to his parents, not domineering or rebellious
Translation 1260
Peace was on him the day he was born, the day he died, and it will be on him the day he is raised to life again
Translation 1260
Mention in the Quran the story of Mary. She withdrew from her family to a place to the east
Translation 1260
and secluded herself away; We sent Our Spirit to appear before her in the form of a perfected man
Translation 1260
She said, ‘I seek the Lord of Mercy’s protection against you: if you have any fear of Him [do not approach]!’
Translation 1260
but he said, ‘I am but a Mes-senger from your Lord, [come] to announce to you the gift of a pure son.’
Translation 1260
She said, ‘How can I have a son when no man has touched me? I have not been unchaste,’
Translation 1260
and he said, ‘This is what your Lord said: “It is easy for Me- We shall make him a sign to all people, a blessing from Us.”’
Translation 1260
And so it was ordained: she conceived him. She withdrew to a distant place
Translation 1260
and, when the pains of childbirth drove her to [cling to] the trunk of a palm tree, she exclaimed, ‘I wish I had been dead and forgotten long before all this!’
Translation 1260
but a voice cried to her from below, ‘Do not worry: your Lord has provided a stream at your feet
Translation 1260
and, if you shake the trunk of the palm tree towards you, it will deliver fresh ripe dates for you
Translation 1260
