Zachariah

In the name of God the merciful the compassionate
The mention of thy Lord ‘s mercy
Unto His servant Zachariah;
When he called upon his Lord
Secretly
Saying, ‘O my Lord, behold
The bones within me are feeble
and my head is all aflame with
hoariness.
And in calling on Thee, my Lord,
I have never been hitherto
Unprosperous.
And now I fear my kinsfolk
After I am gone; and my wife
Is barren. So give me, from Thee,
A kinsman
Who shall be my inheritor
And the inheritor of the House
Of Jacob; and make him, my Lord,
Well- pleasing.’ Quran: Mary
