Commemorate the beneficence of your Lord on Zachariah, His devotee,
3
When he called to his Lord inwardly,
4
And said: "O my Lord, my bones decay, my head is white and hoary, yet in calling You, O Lord, I have never been deprived.
5
But I fear my relatives after me; and my wife is barren. So grant me a successor as a favour from You
6
Who will be heir to me, and heir to the house of Jacob; and make him obedient to You, O Lord."
7
O Zachariah, (it was) said, "We give you good news of a son by name of John.' To none have We attributed the name before."
8
How can I have a son, O Lord he said, "when my wife is barren and I am old and decrepit?"
9
(The angel) answered: "Thus will it be. Your Lord said: 'This is easy for Me; for when I brought you into being you were nothing.'
10
He said: "O Lord, give me a token." "Though sound," He answered, "you will not talk to any one for three nights running."
11
So he came from the chamber to his people, and suggested to them (by signs) to sing the praises of the Lord morning and evening.
12
(We said:) "O John, hold fast to the Book;" and We gave him wisdom right from boyhood,
13
And compassion from Us, and goodness. So he was devout,
14
And kind to his parents, neither arrogant nor disobedient.
15
So peace on him the day he was born, the day he will die, and the day that he will be raised from the dead.
16
Commemorate Mary in the Book. When she withdrew from her family to a place in the East
17
And took cover from them, We sent a spirit of Ours to her who appeared before her in the concrete form of a man.
18
I seek refuge in the Merciful from you, if you fear Him, she said.
19
He replied: "I am only a messenger from your Lord (sent) to bestow a good son on you."
20
How can I have a son, she said, "when no man has touched me, nor am I sinful?"
21
He said: "Thus will it be. Your Lord said: 'It is easy for Me,' and that: 'We shall make him a sign for men and a blessing from Us.' This is a thing already decreed."
22
When she conceived him she went away to a distant place.
23
The birth pangs led her to the trunk of a date-palm tree. "Would that I had died before this," she said, "and become a thing forgotten, unremembered."
24
Then (a voice) called to her from below: "Grieve not; your Lord has made a rivulet gush forth right below you.
25
Shake the trunk of the date-palm tree, and it will drop ripe dates for you.
26
Eat and drink, and be at peace. If you see any man, tell him: 'I have verily vowed a fast to Ar-Rahman and cannot speak to any one this day.'
27
Then she brought the child to her people. They exclaimed: "O Mary, you have done a most astonishing thing!
28
O sister of Aaron, your father was not a wicked person, nor your mother sinful!"
29
But she pointed towards him. "How can we talk to one," they said, "who is only an infant in the cradle?"
