The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
9. 1. The angels said, in order to remove the astonishment of Hazrat Zakariya that Allah has decided to grant you a son, and according to this, you will certainly receive a son, and this is absolutely not a difficult task for Allah because when He can bring you from non-existence into existence, then He can also grant you a son apart from apparent means.
