Surah 19. Maryam

In the name of ALLAH, the Benevolent, the Merciful

1. Kaf. Ha. Ya. Ain. Sad.
2. A mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zachariah.
3. When he cried to his Lord a cry in secret,
4. Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to You, my Lord.
5. Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Your presence a successor
6. Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable ( to You).
7. (It was said to him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring you tidings of a son whose name is John; We have given the same name to none before (him).
8. He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age?
9. He said: So (it will be). Your Lord says: It is easy for Me, even as I created you before, when you wast nothing.
10. He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Your token is that you, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak to mankind three nights.
11. Then he came forth to his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.
12. (And it was said to his son): O John! Hold The Book. And We gave him wisdom when a child.
13. And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout,
14. And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious.
15. Peace on him the day be was born, and the day he dies and the day he shall be raised alive!
