2. Why was the Quran written in South Arabian Script when the Prophet was not an Arab?AQ1206
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favour upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise.AQ2927
And We gave to Him Ishaq and Yaqub and placed in his descendants Prophethood and the Book. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the hereafter among the righteous.The above verses proofs that prophethood from the family of Abraham was granted to the descendents of Prophet Ishaq. The Last Prophet was a direct descendent of Prophet Ishaq and not Ismael as the Traditional Islamic sources implies! The Arabs are descended from the Prophet Ismael. In fact, all of us in this world at present descend from the 11 sons of Ismael.

Pickthall's
125. He said O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision, lest they plot a plot against thee . Lo! Satan is for man an open foe.
126. Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect his grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as he perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise.I noted Hizbullah refer 'you' with "Prophet Muhammad".
However I would interpret the 'thee' in 126 should follow consistently with the immediate prior verse, i,e, 'thee' in 125.
Thus 126 should be interpreted as;
126. Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect his grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as he perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise.In addition the is not filled in, if it is Prophet Muhammad, there will be inconsistency.
Thus I believe Hizbullah's interpretation of 126 where in "thee " in indicated is wrong.
Agree/Disagree?
Note in the above case, I have not included the Arabic, transliterations, and word for word because I have quoted it from Pickthall and not my own translation. If any one do not agree with Pickthall for his point then we will have to did into the Arabic, transliterations, and word for word.
