(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
هُنَالِكَ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّارَبَّهُۥ قَالَ رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَآءِ 38
فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٌ يُصَلِّى فِى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيَىٰمُصَدِّقًۢا بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدًا وَحَصُورًا وَنَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 39

38. Then Zachariah prayed
unto his Lord and said: My Lord! Bestow upon me of Thy Bounty goodly
offspring. Lo! Thou art the Hearer of Prayer.
39. And the angels
called to him as he stood praying in the sanctuary: Allah giveth thee glad
tidings of (a son whose name is) John, (who cometh) to confirm a Word from
Allah, lordly, chaste, a Prophet of the righteous.

Commentary
Prophet
Zachariah (peace be upon him) used to grieve in heart looking at the condition
of His (peace be upon Him) nation and think, “Nobody seems to be the Heir of
that Knowledge of Prophet-hood which is a specified thing of the family of
Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) in the entire nation at this time. Will
these people be deprived of it after Me (peace be upon Him)?” He had no child
in his house. His wife was barren and he had become old. He (peace be upon Him)
used to pray always, “O Allah! Appoint someone heir of my knowledge”.
Prayer
of Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) was accepted. One day he (peace be
upon him) was standing in His (peace be upon Him) sanctuary for worship of
Allah Almighty. An angel (peace be upon him) called him and told, “Allah
Almighty gives you glad tidings of (a son whose name is) John.” The Angel
(peace be upon him) of Allah Almighty also described following characteristics
of that blessed child:
·
He (peace be upon him) will confirm and verify the Words from
(orders of) Allah Almighty.
·
He (peace be upon him) will be lordly and chaste.
·
And he (peace be upon him) will be a Prophet, chaste and
righteous.
It will be known from these verses that wish
of children is a natural matter. Allah Almighty accepts the supplications which
come out from the heart, and His pious servants pray for good children.
