[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah
3
When he called to his Lord a private supplication.
4
He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.
5
And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir
6
Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."
7
[He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."
8
He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"
9
[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "
10
[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."
11
So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allah] in the morning and afternoon.
12
[Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy
13
And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah
14
And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
15
And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.
16
And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.
17
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.
18
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."
19
He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."
20
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
21
He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
22
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
23
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."
24
But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.
25
And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.
26
So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "
27
Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.
28
O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
29
So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"
30
[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.
