Was what Zachariah (peace be upon him) said when he was given the good news of John from the category of objecting to God's decree, and how can one respond to those who say that?

The Prophet of Allah, Zechariah, did not object to Allah's decree, for he was a believer in His power. His inquiry after being given the glad tidings of a child has several interpretations among scholars. These include that he was inquiring about how the child would come to be, and whether it would be from his aged wife or another; or that his words were an exaltation of Allah's power and an expression of wonder at it; or that he wanted to confirm whether the child would be from his own loins or adopted; or that he repeated the question to delight in the answer and reassure himself; or that he considered the matter unlikely from a conventional perspective.
