[[1,"Kãf-Ha-Ya-’Aĩn- Ṣãd."],[2,"˹This is˺ a reminder of your Lord’s mercy to His servant Zachariah,"],[3,"when he cried out to his Lord privately,"],[4,"saying, “My Lord! Surely my bones have become brittle, and grey hair has spread across my head, but I have never been disappointed in my prayer to You, my Lord!"],[5,"And I am concerned about ˹the faith of˺ my relatives after me, since my wife is barren. So grant me, by Your grace, an heir,"],[6,"who will inherit ˹prophethood˺ from me and the family of Jacob, and make him, O Lord, pleasing ˹to You˺!”"],[7,"˹The angels announced,˺ “O Zachariah! Indeed, We give you the good news of ˹the birth of˺ a son, whose name will be John—a name We have not given to anyone before.”"],[8,"He wondered, “My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren, and I have become extremely old?”"],[9,"An angel replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, just as I created you before, when you were nothing!’”"],[10,"Zachariah said, “My Lord! Grant me a sign.” He responded, “Your sign is that you will not ˹be able to˺ speak to people for three nights, despite being healthy.”"],[11,"So he came out to his people from the sanctuary, signalling to them to glorify ˹Allah˺ morning and evening."],[12,"˹It was later said,˺ “O John! Hold firmly to the Scriptures.” And We granted him wisdom while ˹he was still˺ a child,"],[13,"as well as purity and compassion from Us. And he was God-fearing,"],[14,"and kind to his parents. He was neither arrogant nor disobedient."],[15,"Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day of his death, and the day he will be raised back to life!"],[16,"And mention in the Book ˹O Prophet, the story of˺ Mary when she withdrew from her family to a place in the east,"],[17,"screening herself off from them. Then We sent to her Our angel, ˹Gabriel,˺ appearing before her as a man, perfectly formed."],[18,"She appealed, “I truly seek refuge in the Most Compassionate from you! ˹So leave me alone˺ if you are God-fearing.”"],[19,"He responded, “I am only a messenger from your Lord, ˹sent˺ to bless you with a pure son.”"],[20,"She wondered, “How can I have a son when no man has ever touched me, nor am I unchaste?”"],[21,"He replied, “So will it be! Your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me. And so will We make him a sign for humanity and a mercy from Us.’ It is a matter ˹already˺ decreed.”"],[22,"So she conceived him and withdrew with him to a remote place."],[23,"Then the pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cried, “Alas! I wish I had died before this, and was a thing long forgotten!”"],[24,"So a voice reassured her from below her, “Do not grieve! Your Lord has provided a stream at your feet."],[25,"And shake the trunk of this palm tree towards you, it will drop fresh, ripe dates upon you."],[26,"So eat and drink, and put your heart at ease. But if you see any of the people, say, ‘I have vowed silence to the Most Compassionate, so I am not talking to anyone today.’”"],[27,"Then she returned to her people, carrying him. They said ˹in shock˺, “O Mary! You have certainly done a horrible thing!"],[28,"O sister of Aaron! Your father was not an indecent man, nor was your mother unchaste.”"],[29,"So she pointed to the baby. They exclaimed, “How can we talk to someone who is an infant in the cradle?”"],[30,"˹Jesus˺ declared, “I am truly a servant of Allah. He has destined me to be given the Scripture and to be a prophet."],[31,"He has made me a blessing wherever I go, and bid me to establish prayer and give alms-tax as long as I live,"],[32,"and to be kind to my mother. He has not made me arrogant or defiant."],[33,"Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day I die, and the day I will be raised back to life!”"],[34,"That is Jesus, son of Mary. ˹And this is˺ a word of truth, about which they dispute."],[35,"It is not for Allah to take a son! Glory be to Him. When He decrees a matter, He simply tells it, “Be!” And it is!"],[36,"<EFBFBD>
