ذِكْرُ رَحْمَتِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُۥ زَكَرِيَّآ
Th ikru ra h mati rabbika AAabdahu zakariyy a
AN ACCOUNT of the grace which thy Sustainer bestowed upon His servant Zachariah:2
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "An account of thy Sustainer's grace upon...", etc. According to the account in the Gospels, not contradicted by the Qur'an, Zachariah's wife Elisabeth was a cousin of Mary, the mother of Jesus (Cf. Luke i, 36).

This is a reminder of blessings that your Rabb bestowed on His servant Zakariya,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'This is' a reminder of your Lord's mercy to His servant Zachariah,
  - Mustafa Khattab
A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
(This is) a recital of the Mercy of thy Lord to His Servant Zakariya. 2456
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Mercy of Allah to Zakriya was shown in many ways: (1) in the acceptance of his prayer; (2) in bestowing a son like Yahya; and (3) in the love between father and son, in addition to the work which Yahya did as Allah's Messenger for the world. Cf. iii. 38-41 and notes. There the public ministry was the point stressed; here the beautiful relations between the son and the father.
