Yarisunee wa yarisu min aali Ya'qoob
one that might be my heir and the heir of the house of Jacob; and make him, Lord, one that will be pleasing to You.

Zechariah said: "Lord, grant me a Sign." Said He: "Your Sign is that you shall not be able to speak to people for three nights, though you will be otherwise sound."

Fakharaja 'alaa qawmihee minal mihraabi fa-awhaaa ilaihim an sabbihoo bukratanw wa 'ashiyyaa
Thereupon Zechariah came out from the sanctuary and directed his people by gestures to extol His glory by day and by night.
يَٰيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍۢ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ ٱلْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّۭا

Wa hanaanam mil ladunnaa wa zakaatanw wa kaana taqiyyaa
and We also endowed him with tenderness and purity, and he was exceedingly pious

Qaalat anna yakoonu lee ghulaamunw wa lam yamsasnee bashrunw wa lam aku baghiyyaa
Mary said: "How can a boy be born to me when no man has even touched me, nor have I ever been unchaste?"
