"Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a
child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her
sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God."
Luke 1:36-7
|
Praying: "O my Lord! Infirm indeed are
my bones, and the hair of my
head glistens with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my
prayer to You!...my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from
Yourself, "(One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent
the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom
You are well-pleased!" (His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya!
We give you good news of a son: his name shall be Yahya (John the Baptist)..." He said:
"O my Lord! how shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I
have grown quite decrepit from old age?" He said: "So (it will be)
: your Lord says, 'That is easy for Me: I indeed created you before,
when you had been nothing!"
Quran 19:4-9 |
