Mary
In the name of Allah , the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.[19:2]
[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah

[19:3]
When he called to his Lord a private supplication.

[19:4]
He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.

[19:5]
And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir

[19:6]
Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

[19:7]
[He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."

[19:8]
He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"

[19:9]
[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "

[19:10]
[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."

[19:11]
So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [ Allah ] in the morning and afternoon.

[19:12]
[ Allah ] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy

[19:13]
And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah

[19:14]
And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.

[19:15]
And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.

[19:16]
And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.

[19:17]
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.

[19:18]
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah ."

[19:19]
He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."

[19:20]
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"

[19:21]
He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
