Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is an account of your Lord’s grace towards His servant, Zachariah,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

when he called to his Lord secretly, saying,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Lord, my bones have weakened and my hair is ashen grey, but never, Lord, have I ever prayed to You in vain:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

I fear [what] my kinsmen [will do] when I am gone, for my wife is barren, so grant me a successor––a gift from You––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

to be my heir and the heir of the family of Jacob. Lord, make him well pleasing [to You].’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘Zachariah, We bring you good news of a son whose name will be John––We have chosen this name for no one before him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘Lord, how can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I am old and frail?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘This is what your Lord has said: “It is easy for Me: I created you, though you were nothing before.” ’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He said, ‘Give me a sign, Lord.’ He said, ‘Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to anyone for three full [days and] nights.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He went out of the sanctuary to his people and signalled to them to praise God morning and evening.
