overtaken me already and my wife is barren? (The angel) answered: So (it will
be), Allah doeth what He will.
41. He said: My Lord! Appoint a token for me. (The

Commentary
When glad tidings was given to Prophet Zachariah
(peace be upon him) that a righteous son would be born in his house, he (peace
be upon him) was much surprised and said, “Apparent causes about the birth of a
son do not exist, old age has overtaken me and my wife is barren. How can the
son be born”?
Allah Almighty commanded that He is not needy
of the causes. He does what He wills.
When Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him)
relied on it, he requested, “O my Lord! Tell me any token with which I may know
that my wife will bring forth a son”. Allah Almighty described, “Token of this
glad tidings is that you will not speak with the people for three days except
by signs. So whenever you feel this condition and your tongue remembers
sincerely your Lord much, then understand it that offspring is near to be
born”. Which token was told by Allah Almighty, that had biggest excellence i.e.
that was a token as a sign and worship of Allah Almighty as adoration. That is
to say: on one side that became cause of information (about glad tidings of the
son) to Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him), and on the other side that
became source of Allah’s prayer and gratitude. Along with it Allah Almighty
urged Zachariah (peace be upon him) to praise (Him) in the early hours of night
and morning in these days, and remain engaged in mentioning His Praise and
Chasteness.
Allah Almighty is the Cause of causes. He is
the Master over the entire universe. He can do within a moment whatsoever He
desires. He is not needy of any cause. Therefore, the mankind should have faith
in the Power of Allah Almighty instead of keeping in view the apparent causes;
and produce his every longing in His Court. If we shall depend only on our
efforts and strength, then it will be not only going astray, but in case of
failure, we shall be disappointed very much, result of which is suicide.
