وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحۡيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلۡيَاسَۖ كُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
wazakariyya wayahya waaaeesa wailyasa kullun mina alssaliheena
And Zakariya (Zachariya), and yahya (john) and 'Iesa (Jesus) and Iliyas (Elias), each one of them was of the righteous.
Chapter 19, Verse 7, Mary
سورة مريم
يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسۡمُهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ لَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبۡلُ سَمِيّٗا
ya zakariyya inna nubashshiruka bighulamin ismuhu yahya lam najaaal lahu min qablu samiyyan
(Allah said) "O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be yahya (john). We have given that name to none before (him)."
Chapter 19, Verse 12, Mary
سورة مريم
يَٰيَحۡيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِقُوَّةٖۖ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيّٗا
ya yahya khuthi alkitaba biquwwatin waataynahu alhukma sabiyyan
(It was said to his son): "O yahya (john)! Hold fast the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah)]." And We gave him wisdom while yet a child.
Chapter 19, Verse 13, Mary
سورة مريم
وَحَنَانٗا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَزَكَوٰةٗۖ وَكَانَ تَقِيّٗا
And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us, and pure from sins [i.e. yahya (john)] and he was righteous,
Chapter 21, Verse 90, The Prophets
سورة الأنبياء
فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ وَأَصۡلَحۡنَا لَهُۥ زَوۡجَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَيَدۡعُونَنَا رَغَبٗا وَرَهَبٗاۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا خَٰشِعِينَ
faistajabna lahu wawahabna lahu yahya waaslahna lahu zawjahu innahum kanoo yusariaaoona fee alkhayrati wayadaaoonana raghaban warahaban wakanoo lana khashiaaeena
So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him yahya (john), and cured his wife (to bear a child) for him. Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.
Chapter 3, Verse 39, The family of Imran
سورة آل عمران
فَنَادَتۡهُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٞ يُصَلِّي فِي ٱلۡمِحۡرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحۡيَىٰ مُصَدِّقَۢا بِكَلِمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدٗا وَحَصُورٗا وَنَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
fanadathu almalaikatu wahuwa qaimun yusallee fee almihrabi anna allaha yubashshiruka biyahya musaddiqan bikalimatin mina allahi wasayyidan wahasooran wanabiyyan mina alssaliheena
Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in Al-Mihrab (a praying place or a private room), (saying): "Allah gives you glad tidings of yahya (john), confirming (believing in) the Word from Allah [i.e. the creation of 'Iesa (Jesus), the Word from Allah ("Be!" - and he was!)], noble, keeping away from sexual relations with women, a Prophet, from among the righteous."
