#262 Podcast Al Qur'an Juz 16 QS 19 Maryam 1-15

[Quran Chapter 19] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Kaf, Ha, Ya, Ayn, Saad. 2. A mention of the mercy of your Lord towards His servant Zechariah. 3. When he called on his Lord, a call in seclusion. 4. He said, "My Lord, my bones have become feeble, and my hair is aflame with gray, and never, Lord, have I been disappointed in my prayer to you. 5. "And I fear for my dependents after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir. 6. To inherit me, and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing." 7. "O Zechariah, We give you good news of a son, whose name is John, a name We have never given before." 8. He said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have become decrepit with old age?" 9. He said, "It will be so, your Lord says, 'it is easy for me, and I created you before, when you were nothing.'" 10. He said, "My Lord, give me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights straight." 11. And he came out to his people, from the sanctuary, and signaled to them to praise morning and evening. 12. "O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly," and We gave him wisdom in his youth. 13. And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout. 14. And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant. 15. And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive.
