Sura Al-Imran from 38 to 45


38. At that time Zakariyâ ( Zachariya ) invoked his Lord, saying: « O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All- Hearer of invocation. »
39. Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al- Mihrâb ( a praying place or a private room ) , ( saying ) : « Allâh gives you glad tidings of Yahya ( John ) , confirming ( believing in ) the word from Allâh [ i.e. the creation of ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) ( as ) , the Word from Allâh ( » Be! « - and he was! ) ] , noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous. »
40. He said: « O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren? » ( Allâh ) said: « Thus Allâh does what He wills. »
41. He said: « O my Lord! Make a sign for me. » Allâh said: « Your sign is that you shall not speak to mankind for three days except with signals. And remember your Lord much ( by praising Him again and again ) , and glorify ( Him ) in the afternoon and in the morning. [ 1 ] »
42. And ( remember ) when the angels said: « O Maryam ( Mary ) ! Verily, Allâh has chosen you, purified you ( from polytheism and disbelief ) , and chosen you above the women of the ‘Âlamîn ( mankind and jinn ) ( of her lifetime ) . »
43. O Mary! « Submit yourself with obedience to your Lord ( Allâh, by worshipping none but Him Alone ) and prostrate yourself, and Irkâ‘i ( bow down ) along with Ar- Râki‘ûn ( those who bow down ) . »
44. This is a part of the news of the Ghaib ( unseen, i.e. the news of the past nations of which you have no knowledge ) which We reveal to you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) . You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens as to which of them should be charged with the care of Maryam ( Mary ) ; nor were you with them when they disputed.
45. ( Remember ) when the angels said: « O Maryam ( Mary ) ! Verily, Allâh gives you the glad tidings of a Word [ » Be! « - and he was! i.e. ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) the son of Maryam ( Mary ) ] from Him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) , the son of Maryam ( Mary ) , held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allâh. »
