nothing!'"
19:10
(Zakariya) said: "O my Lord! give me a Sign." "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man
for three nights, although thou art not dumb."
19:11
So Zakariya came out to his people from his chamber: He told them by signs to celebrate Allah's praises in the morning
and in the evening.
19:12
(To his son came the command): "O Yahya! take hold of the Book with might": and We gave him Wisdom even as a
youth,
19:13
And piety (for all creatures) as from Us, and purity: He was devout,
19:14
And kind to his parents, and he was not overbearing or rebellious.
19:15
So Peace on him the day he was born, the day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life (again)!
19:16
Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.
19:17
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man
in all respects.
