Prophet

زَكَرِيَّا

Zakariyyā

Zakariya is the prophet who cared for Maryam in the sanctuary and prayed for a son in his old age. God answered with Yahya, a miracle despite his wife’s barrenness.

From the Qur’an

"At that, Zakariya called upon his Lord, saying, ‘My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.’"

— Qur’an, Al-Imran 3:38
