The Holy Quran 19:11 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا۟ بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا

Translation

So (the day finally came when) he (Zakariyya عليه الصلاة والسلام) came to his people from the sanctuary (the place where he engaged in Ibaadah) and (unable to speak to them, he) gestured to them, “Engage in glorifying your Rabb morning and evening (as you normally do. However, additional thanks will now have to be expressed to Allaah because of the successor to be born)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Admonition and counsel to the people: that is, when that time came, his tongue was held back from speaking. Coming out of his chamber, he told the people by signs: remember Allah morning and evening, perform your prayers, and remain occupied with tasbih (glorifying Allah) and tahlil (declaring “There is no god but Allah”).
