Chapter 6 of the Quran (58) Abraham’s Descendants – D

Allah honored Abraham’s Descendants saying: “Those prophets whom Allah has told you about (Abraham’s Descendants) are they, whom Allah has guided to the noblest character traits, so follow their guidance. Also, follow their way of affirming Allah’s Oneness and of exercising patience.”

In the previous articles, they threatened Abraham that their gods will hurt him amd make him infertile. But, Allah made Abraham the father of the prophets.

Abraham is the father of Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Elisha, Jonah, Zachariah, John, Jesus and Muhammad.

Allah bestowed upon Abraham’s Descendants prophethood and surrender to Him; all of them were the top righteous among mankind and they all submit to Allah.

Allah chose Abraham’s Descendants and guided them unto the straight path and made them firm on His path.

 

In Ayah 6:89, Allah Honored Abraham’s Descendants saying:

They are the ones to whom Allah gave the Scripture (which the Angel Gabriel brought down from heaven), prophethood, judgement, wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

So if the unbelievers of Mecca disbelieve therein in their way and religion, then verily Allah shall entrust it to a people who do not disbelieve in it and Allah shall give them success to follow the way and religion of the prophets, the Abraham’s Descendants.

This prophecy exactly fulfilled when the people of Madina embrace Islam and helped the Prophet Muhammad very much to spread Islam.

 

Again, in Ayah 6:90, Allah Well-regarded Abraham’s Descendants saying:

Those prophets whom Allah has told you about are they whom Allah has guided to the most noble of character traits, so follow their guidance. Also, follow their way of affirming Allah’s Oneness and of exercising patience.

And for the unbelievers of Mecca, Say, to them:

I do not ask of you, to give me, any wage for Islam, and remember that the Qurān is only a reminder, an admonition, to all the worlds, of mankind and jinn.
