UDK 28-23-9
Zakariya (Zechariah (a.s.)), father of Yahya (Jhon (a.s.)), according to the Islamic teachings is one of the messengers sent to Israelites (Bani Israel). He is mentioned in the texts of the Qur’an and the New Testament. In both the texts he has a very significant role in relation of Isa (Jesus (a.s.)). That significance in the Qur’an is reflected in his guardianship of Maryam (Marry (r.a.)), mother of Jesus (a.s.), as well as in the miracles given to him. Supernatural provision of food to Maryam (r.a.) and a son Yahya (a.s.) in the old age with barren wife are the miracles given to him as a prelude to even bigger miracle- supernatural birth of Isa (a.s.). In texts of the New Testament and in Christian theology his significance is reflected in his son Yahya (a.s.), better known as John the Baptist who, according to the New Testament baptised Jesus in the river Jordan. Tale of Zakariya (a.s.) is mentioned in three places in the Qur’an and in one place in the New Testament. The author here presents this tale according to the Qur’an and the New Testament with a reflection upon similarities and differences of the account. It is a comparative, historical view of the two versions of the tale without going into comparison of theological issues derived thereof.
