Birth of John Son Of Zachariah (علیہم السلام) (L-386)

قالَ رَبِّ أَنّىٰ يَكونُ
لي غُلامٌ وَقَد بَلَغَنِيَ الكِبَرُ وَامرَأَتي عاقِرٌ ۖ قالَ كَذٰلِكَ اللَّهُ
يَفعَلُ ما يَشاءُ40. قالَ رَبِّ اجعَل لي آيَةً ۖ قالَ آيَتُكَ
أَلّا تُكَلِّمَ النّاسَ ثَلاثَةَ أَيّامٍ إِلّا رَمزًا ۗ وَاذكُر رَبَّكَ
كَثيرًا وَسَبِّح بِالعَشِيِّ وَالإِبكارِ41. |

40. Qaala Rabbi ‘annaa ya-kuunu lii gulaamunw-wa qad balaga-niyal-kibaru wamra-‘atii ‘aaqir. Qaala kazaali-kAllaahu yaf-‘alu maa yashaaa’. 41. Qaala
Rabbij-‘al-liii ‘Aayah. Qaala ‘Aayatuka
‘allaa tukalli-man-naasa salaasata ‘ayyaamin ‘illaa
ramzaa. Wazkur-Rab-baka kasiiranw-wa sabbih
bil-‘ashiyyi wal-‘ibkaar. (Section 4/12) |

40. He said, “My Lord, how will I have a son, when old age has overtaken me, and my wife is barren?” He said, “Even so, God does whatever He wills.” 41. He said, “My Lord,
give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you shall not speak to the
people for three days, except by gestures. And remember your Lord much, and
praise in the evening and the morning.” |
When glad tidings was given to Prophet Zachariah (Peace be upon him) that a righteous son would be born in his house, he (Peace be upon him) was much surprised and said, “Apparent causes about the birth of a son do not exist, old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren. How can the son be born”?
God commanded that He was not needy of the causes. He does what He wills.
When Prophet Zachariah (Peace be upon him) relied on it, he requested, “O my Lord! Tell me any token by which I may know that my wife will bring forth a son”. God described, “Token of this glad tiding is that you will not speak with the people for three days except by signs. So whenever you feel this condition and your tongue remembers sincerely your Lord much, then understand it that offspring is near to be born”. The token which was told by God, that had biggest excellence i.e. that was a token as a sign and worship of God as adoration. That is to say: on one side that became cause of information (about glad tidings of the son) to Prophet Zachariah (Peace be upon him), and on the other side that became source of God’s prayer and gratitude. Along with it God urged Zachariah (Peace be upon him) to praise (Him) in the early hours of night and morning in these days, and remain engaged in mentioning His Praise and Chasteness.
God is the Causer of causes. He is the Master over the entire universe. He can do within a moment whatsoever He desires. He is not needy of any cause. Therefore, the mankind should have faith in the Power of God instead of keeping in view the apparent causes; and produce his every longing in His Court. If we shall depend only on our efforts and strength, then it will be not only going astray, but in case of failure, we shall be disappointed very much, result of which can be suicide.
