19:2 A mention of the mercy of thy Lord to His servant Zacharias —
19:3 When he called upon his Lord, crying in secret.
19:4 He said: My Lord, my bones are weakened, and my head flares with hoariness, and I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee, my Lord.
19:5 And I fear my kinsfolk after me, and my wife is barren, so grant me from Thyself an heir
19:6 Who should inherit me and inherit of the Children of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, acceptable (to Thee).
19:7 O Zacharias, We give thee good news of a boy, whose name is John: We have not made before anyone his equal.
19:8 He said: My Lord, how shall I have a son, and my wife is barren, and I have reached extreme old age?
19:9 He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord says: It is easy to Me, and indeed I created thee before, when thou wast nothing.
19:10 He said: My Lord, give me a sign. He said: Thy sign is that thou speak not to people three nights, being in sound health.
19:11 So he went forth to his people from the sanctuary and proclaimed to them: Glorify (Allah) morning and evening.
19:12 O John, take hold of the Book with strength. And We granted him wisdom when a child,
19:13 And kind-heartedness from Us and purity. And he was dutiful,
19:14 And kindly to his parents, and he was not insolent, disobedient.
19:15 And peace on him the day he was born and the day he died, and the day he is raised to life!
