In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Kaf Ha Ya Ain Sad.

Here is an accounts of the mercy your Lord showed to His servant Zachariah

when he invoked his Lord in an under tone.

He prayed, “O my Lord! My very bones have become rotten, and my head is glistening with age. My Lord! I have never been disappointed in my prayer to Thee.

I now fear (the consequences of) the evil ways of my kinsmen after me, and my wife is barren! I, therefore, pray Thee to bless me by Thy grace with a successor,

who may inherit my heritage and that of the descendants of Jacob; and O Lord, make him a desirable person."

(The answer was: ) “O Zachariah, We give you the good news of a son, who will be called Yahya ( John) . We have not created any other man of this name before.”

He said, “Lord, how can I beget a son when my wife is barren, and I have become impotent because of old age?”

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.”

Zachariah said, “Lord, appoint a sign for me.” He said, “The sign for you is that you shall not talk to the people for three consecutive days.”

After this, he came out of the sanctuary7 to his people, and made signs, asking them, “Glorfy God morning and evening.”

To John We said, “Observe the Divine Book with a firm resolve.”

We blessed him with "judgment" while he was yet a child, and bestowed on him tenderness of heart and purity from Ourself;

and he was very pious and dutiful to his parents, and he was neither arrogant nor disobedient.

Peace was on him on the day he was born and on the day he died, and peace shall be on him on the day he will be raised to life.
