This is an interesting take, how the Salat of Zachariah as depicted in the Bible. Compare below ⤵️

Quran 3:38-39

It was then that Zachariah implored his Lord; he said: "My Lord, grant me from You a good progeny. You are the hearer of prayer." The Angels called to him while he was standing to the contact-method in the temple enclosure: "God gives you good tidings of John, authenticating the word from God, and a master, and steadfast, and a prophet from the upright."

Luke 1:8-13

Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside. Then, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and gripped with fear. But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.


The issue is the term Yu'Salli.

[3:39] So the angels called to him while he was standing, Yu'Salli, in the enclosure: "God gives you glad tidings of John, affirming the word from God, and a master, and steadfast, and a prophet from the upright."

This is usually translated as "praying".

[33:43] He is the One who Yu'Salli's you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers.

This is usually translated as "sending blessings" or "supports".
