ENGLISH TRANSLATION
And
Allah, SWT accepted his supplication. The glad news of the birth of a pious son
was directed to Zakariya, peace be upon him, as the time of his birth
approached.
Human
beings are created of haste. Zakariya asked for a sign about the possibility of
such a big event and its impending approach.
He said:
"O my Lord! Give me a Sign!" "Thy Sign," was the answer,
"Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three days but with signals.
Then celebrate the praises of thy Lord again and again, and glorify Him in the
evening and in the morning."
The All
Powerful who is capable of taking away the properties of all things, and is
capable of making the speaking tongue mute and unable to move with a word, is
also able to grant anyone of his creatures with whatever properties He wants.
The All Strong who can stop, can also give.
