Prophet Zakariyya ﷺ

🌺 Zakariyya Found Amazing Food With Maryam!

Zakariyya ﷺ was a Prophet chosen to look after the young Maryam — the mother of Isa — who had been given to Allah's service by her mother before she was even born!

Maryam spent her days worshipping Allah in her prayer room. Every time Zakariyya came to visit her there, he found fresh food and provisions with her — food that was not even in season!

Zakariyya asked: O Maryam — where does this come from?! She said simply: It is from Allah — Allah gives without limit to whoever He wants!

These words sparked the biggest hope in Zakariyya's heart! 🌟

🌸 The Old Man Who Never Stopped Making Dua

Zakariyya and his wife were very old. They had always wanted a child but had never been able to have one. But Zakariyya never stopped asking Allah!

He made a quiet and private dua to Allah: O my Lord! My bones have become weak and my hair is all white — but I have never been let down when I made dua to You! I am worried about who will look after things when I am gone — please give me a child from You — and make him pleasing to You, my Lord!

What a beautiful dua! Full of hope even in old age! 🌸

👶 The Miracle Baby — and Three Days of Quiet!

While Zakariyya was praying, angels came to him with wonderful news: O Zakariyya! We are giving you good news of a son — his name will be Yahya — We have never given this name to anyone before!

Zakariyya was amazed! He said: How?! My wife has never had children and I am very old! Allah said: It is easy for Me — I created you when you were nothing at all!

Zakariyya asked for a sign. Allah said: Your sign is that you will not be able to speak for three days — except by gestures!

For three whole days Zakariyya could only use signs — and he spent those days praising Allah morning and evening. Then baby Yahya was born! 🎉
