Prophet Zachariah was a prophet and from the descendants of Yacoub (Jacob) son of Ishaq (Issac). He was a guardian to Mary (mother of Jesus pbuh.).
)So her Lord accepted her graciously and blessed her with a pleasant upbringing—entrusting her to the care of Zachariah. Whenever Zachariah visited her in the sanctuary, he found her supplied with provisions. He exclaimed, “O Mary! Where did this come from?” She replied, “It is from Allah. Surely Allah provides for whoever He wills without limit.”( Al-Imran 3:37
هو نبي وينتهي نسب سيدنا زكريا عليه السلام إلى يعقوب بن إسحاق. و كان يكفل مريم ابنة عمران (والدة عيسى عليه السلام).
(. فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَأَنبَتَهَا نَبَاتًا حَسَنًا وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّا كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَ وَجَدَ عِندَهَا رِزْقًا قَالَ يَا مَرْيَمُ أَنَّىٰ لَكِ هَـٰذَا قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّـهِ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
آل عمران 3:37
