(40) قال رَبِّ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لِي غُلاَمٌ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِيَ الْكِبَرُ وَامْرَأَتِي عَاقِرٌ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ اللّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ
40. " He said: 'My Lord! how can I have a son (born) while, indeed, old age has already over taken me, and my wife is barren? 'He said: 'Even so does Allah whatsoever He pleases'."
Commentary:
By hearing that glad tidings, Zachariah became very happy so that he could not conceal his surprise because of such a subject that happened. Therefore:
" He said: ' My Lord! how can I have a son (born) while, indeed, old age has already over taken me, and my wife is barren ? ' ..."
Then, he was answered thus:
"... He said: ' Even so does Allah whatsoever He pleases'."
With this concise sentence, which laid emphasis on the influence of the Divine Will, Zachariah was convinced.
