آياتُ الله و قُدرَتُهُ

Allah’s signs and His power

Support strength	أزر	His eyes found comfort from him	قَرَت بِه عينهِ
brevity	ايجاز	sometimes	تارة
Do not leave me	لا تَذَرنى	At times	طوراً
Interest, craving	رغب	We corrected	أصلَحنا
They rush	يُسرعونَ	fear	رَهب

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

And Allah’s signs and his power showed in Zakariya’s body, then his home and then his family. And so Yahya, peace be upon him, was born providing comfort to Zakariya’s eyes. His strength increased and his call towards Allah remained due to Yahya, peace be upon him. And listen to the Holy Quran how it describes this story sometimes briefly and at times in detail.

And Allah says:

“And (remember) Zakariyya (Zachariah), when he cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors."         

So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him Yahya (John), and cured his wife (to bear a child) for him. Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.”
