heir Explanation: See al-Quran Surah Maryam translation, verse 5, such as here: http://www.oneummah.net/quran/book/19.html The prophet Zakariyya (upon him peace) reached old age, and childless, so he asked God for a 'wali' to carry on his duties. Not strange for old Malay texts to use Quranic/hadith terms. Reference: http://www.oneummah.net/quran/book/19.html |
