ZABUR (PSALMS)
We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh and the Prophets who came
after him. And We revealed to Ibrahim and Isma'il and Ishaq and Ya'qub
and the Tribes, and 'Isa and Ayyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulayman. And
We gave Dawud the Zabur. (4:163)
My Lord knows best everyone in the heavens and earth. We favoured some
of the Prophets over others. And We gave Dawud the Zabur. (17:55)
We wrote down in the Zabur, after the Reminder came: 'It is My servants
who are righteous who will inherit the earth.' (21:105)
ZAKAH (SEE ALMS)
ZAKARIYYA (AS)
Her Lord accepted her with approval and made her grow in health and beauty.
And Zakariyya became her guardian. Every time Zakariyya visited her in
the Upper Room, he found food with her. He said, 'Maryam, how did you
come by this?' She said, 'It is from Allah. Allah provides for whoever
He wills without any reckoning.' Then and there Zakariyya called on his
Lord and said, 'O Lord, grant me by Your favour an upright child. You
are the Hearer of Prayer.' The angels called out to him while he was standing
in prayer in the Upper Room: 'Allah gives you the good news of Yahya,
who will come to confirm a Word from Allah, and will be a leader and a
celibate, a Prophet and one of the righteous.' He said, 'My Lord, how
can I possibly have a son when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?'
He said, 'It will be so. Allah does whatever He wills.' He said, 'My Lord,
appoint a Sign for me.' He said, 'Your Sign is that you will not speak
to people for three days, except by gesture. Remember your Lord much and
glorify Him in the evening and after dawn.' (3:37-41)
And Zakariyya, Yahya, 'Isa and Ilyas. All of them were among the righteous.
(6:85)
Remembering your Lord's mercy to His servant Zakariyya, when he called
on his Lord in secret and said, 'My Lord, my bones have lost their strength
and my head is crowned with white, but in calling on You, My Lord, I have
never been disappointed. I fear my relatives when I am gone and my wife
is barren, so give me an heir from You to be my inheritor and the inheritor
of the family of Ya'qub, and make him, my Lord, pleasing to You.' 'Zakariyya!
We give you the good news of a boy named Yahya, a name we have given to
no one else before.' He said, 'My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife
is barren and I have reached advanced old age?' He said, 'It will be so!
Your Lord says, "That is easy for me to do. I created you before, when
you were not anything."' He said, 'My Lord, give me a Sign.' He said,
'Your Sign is not to speak to people for three nights despite the fact
that you are perfectly able to.' He came out to his people from the Upper
Room and gestured to them to glorify Allah in the morning and the evening.
(19:2-11)
And Zakariyya when he called out to his Lord, 'My Lord, do not leave
me on my own, though You are the Best of Inheritors.' (21:89)
ZAQQUM
Is that better by way of hospitality or the tree of Zaqqum which We have
made to be an ordeal for the wrongdoers? (37:62-63)
It is a tree that emerges in the depths of the Blazing Fire. (37:64)
Its fruits are just like the heads of Satans. (37:65)
They will eat from it and fill their bellies with it. (37:66)
The Tree of az-Zaqqum is the food of the wicked, seething in the belly
like molten brass, as boiling water bubbles and seethes. (44:43-46)
Then you, you misguided, you deniers will eat from the tree of Zaqqum,
filling your stomachs with it. (56:51-53)
ZAYD
When you said to him whom Allah has blessed and you yourself have greatly
favoured, 'Keep your wife to yourself and have fear of Allah,' while concealing
something in yourself which Allah wished to bring to light, you were fearing
people when Allah has more right to your fear. Then when Zayd divorced
her We married her to you so that there should be no restriction for the
believers regarding the wives of their adopted sons when they have divorced
them. Allah's command is always carried out. (33:37)
