K\u0101f. H\u0101. Y\u0101. \u2018Ain \u1e62\u0101d.\n2. Thikru rahmati rabbika AAabdahu zakariyya\n2. (This is) a recital\n Of the Mercy of thy Lord\n To His servant Zakar\u012bya.\n3. Ith nada rabbahu nidaan khafiyyan\n3. Behold! he cried\n To his Lord in secret,\n4. Qala rabbi innee wahana alAAathmu minnee waishtaAAala alrra/su shayban walam akun biduAAa-ika rabbi shaqiyyan\n4. Praying: \"O my Lord!\n Infirm indeed are my bones,\n And the hair of my head\n Doth glisten with grey:\n But never am I unblest,\n O my Lord, in my prayer\n To Thee!\n5. Wa-innee khiftu almawaliya min wara-ee wakanati imraatee AAaqiran fahab lee min ladunka waliyyan\n5. \"Now I fear (what)\n My relatives (and colleagues)\n (Will do) after me:\n But my wife is barren:\n So give me an heir\n As from Thyself,\u2014\n6. Yarithunee wayarithu min ali yaAAqooba waijAAalhu rabbi radiyyan\n6. \"(One that) will (truly)\n \"Represent me, and represent\n The posterity of Jacob;\n And make him, O my Lord!\n One with whom Thou art\n Well-pleased!\"\n7. Ya zakariyya inna nubashshiruka bighulamin ismuhu yahya lam najAAal lahu min qablu samiyyan\n7. (His prayer was answered):\n\"O Zakar\u012bya! We give thee\n Good news of a son:\n His name shall be Ya\u1e25y\u0101:\n On none by that name\n Have We conferred distinction before.\"\n8. Qala rabbi anna yakoonu lee ghulamun wakanati imraatee AAaqiran waqad balaghtu mina alkibari AAitiyyan\n8. He said: \"O my Lord!\n How shall I have a son,\n When my wife is barren\n And I have grown quite decrepit\n From old age?\"\n9. Qala kathalika qala rabbuka huwa AAalayya hayyinun waqad khalaqtuka min qablu walam taku shay-an\n9. He said: \"So (it will be):\n Thy Lord saith, \"That is\n Easy for Me: I did\n Indeed create thee before,\n When thou hadst been nothing!\"\n10. Qala rabbi ijAAal lee ayatan qala ayatuka alla tukallima alnnasa thalatha layalin sawiyyan\n10. (Zakar\u012bya) said: \"O my Lord!\n Give me a Sign.\"\n \"Thy Sign,\" was the answer,\n \"Shall be that thou\n Shalt speak to no man\n For three nights,\n Although thou art not dumb.\"\n11. Fakharaja AAala qawmihi mina almihrabi faawha ilayhim an sabbihoo bukratan waAAashiyyan\n11. So Zakar\u012bya came out\n To his people\n From his chamber:\n He told them by signs\n To celebrate God's praises\n In the morning\n And in the evening.\n12. Ya yahya khuthi alkitaba biquwwatin waataynahu alhukma sabiyyan\n12. (To his son came the command):\n \"O Ya\u1e25y\u0101! take hold\nOf the Book with might\":\n And We gave him Wisdom\n Even as a youth,\n13. Wahananan min ladunna wazakatan wakana taqiyyan\n13. And pity (for all creatures)\n As from us, and purity:\n He was devout,\n14. Wabarran biwalidayhi walam yakun jabbaran AAasiyyan\n14. And kind to his parents,\n And he was not overbearing\n Or rebellious.\n15. Wasalamun AAalayhi yawma wulida wayawma yamootu wayawma yubAAathu hayyan\n15. So Peace on him\n The day he was born,\n The day that he dies,\n And the day that he\n Will be raised up\n To life (again)","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XIX.: Maryam, or Mary.: Section 1 (1...","type":"page"}
