    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala says in the Holy Quran:-

    (2. A reminder of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariyya.) (3. When he called his Lord with a call in secret.) (4. He said: “My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble, and gray hair has Ashta`al on my head, and I have never been unblessed in my invocation to You, O my Lord!”) (5. “And verily, I fear Mawali after me, and my wife is barren. So give me from Yourself an heir.”) (6. “Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Ya`qub. And make him, my Lord, one with whom You are well-pleased!”)

     

    The Story of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam and his Supplication for a son

     

    He was a great Prophet from the Prophets of the Children of Israel. In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded that the Prophet said about Zakariyya Alaihissalaam that He was a carpenter who used to eat from what he earned with his own hand through carpentry.

     

    Concerning Allah’s statement,

     

    (When he called his Lord with a call in secret.) He only made his supplication secretly because it is more beloved to Allah. This is similar to what Qatadah said concerning this Ayah,

     

    ”Verily, Allah knows the pious heart and he hears the hidden voice.”

     

    (He said: “My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble…”) meaning, “I have become weak and feeble in strength.”

     

    (and gray hair has Ashta`al on my head,) means the gray hair has burned into the black hair. The intent is to inform of weakness and old age, and its external and internal traces.

     

    (and I have never been unblessed in my invocation to You, O my Lord!) This means, “I have not experienced from You except that You would respond to my supplication and that You would never refuse me in whatever I ask of You.”

     

    (And verily, I fear Mawali after me,) Mujahid, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said, “In saying the word Mawali, he (Zakariyya) meant his succeeding relatives.” The reason for his fear was that he was afraid that the generation that would succeed him would be a wicked generation. Thus, he asked Allah for a son who would be a Prophet after him, who would guide them with his Prophethood and that which was revealed to him. In response to this I would like to point out that he was not afraid of them inheriting his wealth. For a Prophet is too great in status, and too lofty in esteem to become remorseful over his wealth in this fashion. A Prophet would not disdain to leave his wealth to his successive relatives, and thus ask to have a son who would receive his inheritance instead of them. This is one angle of argument.

     

    The second argument is that Allah did not mention that Zakariyya Alaihissalaam was wealthy. On the contrary, he was a carpenter who ate from the earnings of his own hand. This type of person usually does not have a mass of wealth. Amassing wealth is not something normal for Prophets, for verily, they are the most abstentious in matters of this worldly life.

     

    The third argument is that it is confirmed in the Two Sahihs, in more than one narration, that the Messenger of Allah said,

     

    (We (the Prophets) do not leave behind inheritance (of wealth). Whatever we leave behind, then it is charity.)

     

    Therefore, the meaning in these Hadiths restricts the meaning of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam ‘s statement,

     

    (So give me from yourself an heir. Who shall inherit me,) inheritance of Prophethood.

     

    (and make him, my Lord, one with whom You are well-pleased!) means “Make him pleasing to You (Allah) and your creation. Love him and make him beloved to your creatures, in both his religion and his character.”

     

    (7. (Allah said:) “O Zakariyya! Verily, We give you the good news of a son, whose name will be Yahya. We have given that name to none before (him).”)

    Listen to the audio recitation below.

    Allah says that the believers are the ones who say

    “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes…”) means those who ask Allah to bring forth from their loins offspring who will obey Him and worship Him and not associate anything in worship with Him.

    Ibn `Abbas Radi Allahu anhu said, “This means (offspring) who will strive to obey Allah and bring them joy in this world and the Hereafter.” Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Nufayr said: “We sat with Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad one day, and a man passed by and said, “How blessed are these two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah ! Would that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed.”

    Al-Miqdad got angry, and I was surprised, because the man had not said anything but good. Then he turned to him and said, “What makes a man wish to be present when Allah had caused him to be absent, and he does not know how he would have behaved if he had been there. By Allah, there are people who saw the Messenger of Allah , and Allah will throw them on their faces in Hell because they did not accept him or believe in him. Are you not grateful that Allah brought you forth from your mothers’ wombs believing in your Lord and in what your Prophet brought, and that the test went to others and not to you. Allah sent His Prophet during the most difficult time that any Prophet was ever sent, after a long period of ignorance, when the people could see no better religion than the worship of idols, and he brought the Criterion which distinguishes truth from falsehood and which would separate a father from his son. A man would realize that his father, son or brother was a disbeliever, and since Allah had opened his heart to Faith, he knew that if his relative died he would go to Hell, so he could not rest knowing that his loved one was in the Fire.

    This is what Allah referred to in this Ayah.

    Its chain of narrators is Sahih, although they did not report it.

    (and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa.) Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi, Qatadah and Rabi` bin Anas said: “Leaders who would be taken as examples in good.” Others said: “Guides who would call others to goodness.” They wanted their worship to be connected to the worship of their children and offspring, and their guidance to go beyond themselves and benefit others. This would be more rewarding and a better end, as it was recorded in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:

    (When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease, apart from three: a righteous child who will pray for him, knowledge from which others may benefit after him and an ongoing charity.)

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (75. Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.) (76. Abiding therein — excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in.)

    Allah tells us that after He helped His close friend Ibrahim, peace be upon him, against his people, and after Ibrahim peace be upon him gave up hoping that they would ever believe despite all the mighty signs that they had witnessed, he emigrated away from them, and said:

    (Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous.) meaning, obedient children, in compensation for his people and relatives whom he had left.

    Allah said:

    (So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.) This child was Isma`il, peace be upon him, for he was the first child of whom glad tidings were given to Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and he was older than Ishaq Alaihissalaam. The Muslims and the People of the Book agree, and indeed it is stated in their Book, that Isma`il, peace be upon him, was born when Ibrahim, peace be upon him, was eighty-six years old, and Ishaq Alaihissalaam was born when Ibrahim Alaihissalaam was ninety-nine years old.

      Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

      (15. And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she delivers him with hardship. And (the period of) his gestation and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my offspring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.”)

      “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability) meaning, `inspire me.’

      (that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You,) meaning, in the future.

      (and make my offspring good.) meaning, my offspring and descendants.

      (Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.) This contains an instruction for anyone who reaches forty years of age to renew his repentance and turn to Allah with strong resolution.

      Allah then says,

      (Those are the ones from whom We shall accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise.) meaning, those to whom applies the above description — those who repent to Allah, turn back to Him, and rectify their shortcomings through repentance and seeking forgiveness – those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. Many of their errors will be forgiven and Allah will accept from them a modest amount of deeds.

      It can be recited

      • To have a baby
      • To make your children obedient,pious and righteous
      • To have a safe pregnancy and delivery

       

      Allah made Maryam Alaihissalaam grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam. Every time he entered the Mihrab to visit her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: “O Maryam! From where have you gotten this” She said, “This is from Allah.” Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit.

      Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

      38 “At that time Zakariyya invoked his Lord, saying: “O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.”) (39. Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in the Mihrab, (saying): “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya, believing in the Word from Allah, and Sayyidan, and Hasuran, a Prophet, from among the righteous.”) (40. He said: “O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren” (Allah) said: “Thus Allah does what He wills.”

       

      The Supplication of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam and the good news of Yahya Alaihissalaam ‘s Birth:

      When Zakariyya Alaihissalaam saw that Allah provided sustenance for Maryam Alaihissalaam by giving her the fruits of winter in summer and the fruits of summer in winter, he was eager to have a child of his own. By then, Zakariyya Alaihissalaam had become an old man, his bones feeble and his head full of gray hair. His wife was an old women who was barren. Yet, he supplicated to Allah and called Him in secret,

      “O my Lord! Grant me from Ladunka,” from You,

      “A good offspring” meaning, a righteous offspring,

      “You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.”

       

      “Grant me from You, a good offspring”, meaning, grant me a son who will have offspring, and Allah knows best.

       

      Allah said,

      “Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in the Mihrab,” meaning, the angels spoke to him directly while he was secluded, standing in prayer at his place of worship.

      Here Allah tells us about the good news that the angels delivered to Zakariyya Alaihissalaam.

      “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya,” of a child from your offspring, his name is Yahya.

      Qatadah and other scholars said that he was called Yahya (literally, `he lives’) because Allah filled his life with faith.

      Allah’s statement,

      “A Prophet, from among the righteous” delivers more good news of sending Yahya Alaihissalaam as Prophet after the good news that he will be born. This good news was even better than the news of Yahya Alaihissalaam ‘s birth.

      In a similar statement, Allah said to the mother of Musa Alaihissalaam,

      ”Verily, We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of the Messengers.”(28:7)

      When Zakariyya Alaihissalaam heard the good news, he started contemplating about having children at his age. He said,

      “O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren”

       

      (He) said…) meaning the angel said,

       

      “Thus Allah does what He wills.” meaning, this is Allah’s matter, He is so Mighty that nothing escapes His power, nor is anything beyond His ability.

      Allah said that Ibrahim Alaihissalaam and Isma`il Alaihissalaam supplicated to Him,

      “Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik, and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.”

      Ibn Jarir said, “They meant by their supplication, `Make us submit to Your command and obedience and not associate anyone with You in obedience or worship.”

      Also, `Ikrimah commented on the Ayah,

      “Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You”

      “Allah said, `I shall do that.”’

      “And of our offspring a nation submissive unto You”

      Allah said, `I shall do that.’”

      This supplication by Ibrahim Alaihissalaam and Isma`il Alaihissalaam is similar to what Allah informed us of about His believing servants,

      “And those who say: `Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of the Muttaqin” (25:74).

      This type of supplication is allowed, because loving to have offspring who worship Allah alone without partners is a sign of complete love of Allah. This is why when Allah said to Ibrahim Alaihissalaam ,

      “Verily, I am going to make you an Imam (a leader) for mankind (to follow you)”

      Ibrahim Alaihissalaam said,

      “And of my offspring (to make leaders).”

      Allah said, “My covenant (prophethood) includes not the Zalimin (polytheists and wrongdoers)” which is explained by,

      “And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols”

      Muslim narrated in his Sahih that Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu said that the Messenger of Allah Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

      “When the son of Adam dies, his deeds end except for three deeds: an ongoing charity, a knowledge that is being benefited from and a righteous son who supplicates (to Allah) for him.”

      The Meaning of Manasik

               

      Sa`id bin Mansur said that `Attab bin Bashir informed us from Khasif, from Mujahid who said, “The Prophet Ibrahim Alaihissalaam supplicated,

      “and show us our Manasik”

      Jibril then came down, took him to the House and said, `Raise its foundations.’

      Ibrahim Alaihissalaam raised the House’s foundations and completed the building. Jibril held Ibrahim Alaihissalaam’s hand, led him to As-Safa and said, `This is among the rituals of Allah.’ He then took him to Al-Marwah and said, `And this is among the rituals of Allah.’ He then took him to Mina until when they reached the `Aqabah, they found Iblis standing next to a tree. Jibril said, `Say Takbir (Allah is the Great) and throw (pebbles) at him.’ Ibrahim Alaihissalaam said the Takbir and threw (pebbles at) Iblis.

      Iblis moved to the middle Jamrah, and when Jibril and Ibrahim Alaihissalaam passed by him, Jibril said to Ibrahim Alaihissalaam, `Say Takbir and throw at him.’ Ibrahim Alaihissalaam threw at him and said Takbir. The devious Iblis sought to add some evil acts to the rituals of Hajj, but he was unable to succeed. Jibril took Ibrahim Alaihissalaam’s hand and led him to Al-Mash`ar Al-Haram and `Arafat and said to him, `Have you `Arafta (known, learned) what I showed you’ thrice. Ibrahim Alaihissalaam

      said, `Yes I did.”’ Similar statements were reported from Abu Mijlaz and Qatadah.
