019.005 Y: "Now I fear (what) my relatives (and colleagues) (will do) after me: but my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Thyself,"-
P: Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor,

Y: "(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of
Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!"
P: Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).
S: Who should inherit me and inherit from the children of Yaqoub, and make him, my Lord, one in whom Thou art well pleased.
019.007 Y: (His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be Yahya: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."
P: (It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him).
S: O Zakariya! surely We give you good news of a boy whose name shall be
Yahya: We have not made before anyone his equal.
