John
يحيى
Son of Zechariah, given wisdom while still a child. The Quran describes him as pure, devout, and dutiful to his parents, neither arrogant nor rebellious.
Each step links to the passage of the Quran that recalls it.
He is announced to his father Zechariah, praying in the sanctuary: noble, chaste, a prophet among the righteous.
فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٌ يُصَلِّى فِى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيَىٰ مُصَدِّقًۢا بِكَلِمَةٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدًا وَحَصُورًا وَنَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ٣٩While still a child he is given wisdom, with the command to hold firmly to the Book.
يَـٰيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا ١٢Tenderness and purity, piety, kindness to his parents: he is neither tyrannical nor rebellious.
وَحَنَانًا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةً ۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيًّا ١٣ وَبَرًّۢا بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُن جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا ١٤“Peace upon him the day he was born, the day he dies, and the day he is raised alive.”
وَسَلَـٰمٌ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوْمَ يَمُوتُ وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا ١٥Videos are streamed from their original source; this site hosts none of them.
