Series Of The Prophets


Lineage of the Prophets (علیہم السلام) (L-413)

قُل آمَنّا بِاللَّهِ وَما أُنزِلَ عَلَينا وَما أُنزِلَ عَلىٰ إِبراهيمَ وَإِسماعيلَ وَإِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ وَالأَسباطِ وَما أوتِيَ موسىٰ وَعيسىٰ وَالنَّبِيّونَ مِن رَبِّهِم لا نُفَرِّقُ بَينَ أَحَدٍ مِنهُم وَنَحنُ لَهُ مُسلِمونَ84.

84.  Qul  ‘aamannaa Billaahi  wa  maaa ‘unzila ‘alaynaa  wa  maaa  ‘unzila  ‘alaaa  ‘Ibraa-hiima  wa ‘Ismaa-‘iila  wa  ‘Is-haaqa  wa  Ya’-quuba  wal- -‘Asbaati  wa  maa  ‘uutiya  Muusaa  wa  ‘Iisaa  wan-nabiyyuuna mir-Rabbihim.  Laa nufarriqu  bayna ‘ahadim-minhum.  Wa  nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun.

84.  Say, “We believe in God, and in what was revealed to us; and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs; and in what was given to Moses, and Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit.”

Now practical likeness of the Muslims has been shown to the People of the Scripture. The Jews and the Christians proved to be wrong, falsified and denied all other Prophets and heavenly Books except their own Prophets (Peace be upon them) and heavenly Books (the Scriptures). It has been described in this verse about the stance of the Muslims that the people who have entered the nation of Last Prophet (ﷺ) and embraced Islam, they believe in the entire ancient Prophets as sent by God (Peace be upon them) without distinction and discrimination. They consider the ancient Holy Books as the Word of God and admit that, “We believe in God and understand that the entire Prophets (Peace be upon them) were sent by Him as His Apostles (Peace be upon them).

Having belief in God cannot be considered as true without obeying His commandments. We have faith in that Word of God which is revealed in the form of Holy Qur’an for us and we believe in the important lineage of the Prophets (Peace be upon them). We also admit all those orders, which were revealed periodically unto Abraham, and his generation’s Prophets like Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob and from their tribes (Peace be upon them). After them, we have also faith in the Divine’s Word, which was revealed upon Prophet Moses (Peace be upon him) in the form of Torah and Jesus (Peace be upon him) and the Gospel. Near us these entire Prophets (Peace be upon them) were sent by God. They were honest and truthful. The Scripture, which was revealed upon them by God, was the Truth. We do not differentiate between them. We do not falsify anyone of them. Because accusing any Prophet of falsehood will carry in the Infidelity, even if everyone else is considered as Prophet. We are real Muslims (the obedient of God).

Nahnu  lahuu  Muslimuun – (unto Him we have surrendered), the stance of the Muslims has been cleared in this sentence that every Muslim believes in the entire Prophets (Peace be upon them) who were sent by God, were honest. The aim of these verses is to produce a pattern for following by the People of the Scripture that, “if you claim that you are Muslims then it is the Straight Path. You will reach the destination if you adopt it”.
