Story of Zakariyya and Yahya

(Remember) Zachariah when he called to his Lord: "Do not leave me alone (and childless), for you are the best of givers."

So We heard him and gave him John, and cured his wife (of barrenness). These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with love and awe, and were meek before Us.
