Zakariya and his wife were very old, and unfortunately for him did not have children yet. Were eager to have a child and, for that. Zakariya prayed to God: “Make my wife and I have a son before dying.
When Zakariya was making his request, there appeared an angel of God. “You have made an appeal to God and God has heard, ” said the angel. “Soon, your wife have a son and his name is Yahya. It will be a good and respectable man, and be a prophet of God.
Although Zakariya had requested it, was surprised: “But if my wife and I are very old, ” she said – How can we have a child?
“When God wants something, it happens, ” he said the angel. “As a sign that you’re going to have a child, you can not talk to anyone for three days.
And so it happened that even when Zakariya wanted to talk to someone, I could not move his tongue. Only once after three days could speak again. Then he knew he was going to have a child. Both he and his wife were very happy. They prayed to God and gave thanks, and when I was born the son, he was named Yahya.
Yahya was a good son who loved his parents. I prayed to God with her father and her mother Zakariya. The three were always good actions. Yahya was very kind and good to all people and animals. Never showed pride and bad temper, and God made His Prophet. Yahya was a humble servant of God and merciful, and always told people to pray to God because God had created mankind.
The blessing that God gave Yahya can be found in the Quran: “Peace was with him the day he was born and the day he died, and peace will be with him when he comes again to life. “
Anyone who is so good and pious as the Prophet Yahya, will be blessed by God with an eternal peace.
