Divine Communication (وَحْـىٚ) of guidance (هُدٙى):The Covenant to Grand Qur’ān
-
- The Genealogy - Ancestral History of the Members of Unique Galaxy (ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ)
The title Qur’ān of the Divine Book illustrates that all the realm, theoretical and practical, relevant to the reader is gathered and incorporated as a coherent unit in its folder the contents; miscellany of verbal passages; the words and sentences. But the timeline is much wider - from zero hour of the creation of the Universe to end hour and then transition into timeless domain. It is warping of space-time. Thereby, the greatest the Grand book is only one, Qur’ān, "a verbal warp bubble" that can drive us into and show any region of spacetime. Allah the Exalted explicitly informs that which has the value a tall claim
مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِـى ٱلـكِـتَٟبِ مِن شَـىْءٛۚ
Our Majesty have not neglected mentioning in the Book (Grand Qur’ān) not at all a thing relevant to the audience.
One subject relevant and of interest for its audience is Anthropology. It is the scientific study of humanity, concerned with human behaviour, human biology, cultures, societies and linguistics, in both the present and past. And genealogy is the science of studying family history. Genealogists compile lists of ancestors. Thereby, in view of aforementioned claim, it is unthinkable that genealogy of the group of Men declared ever exalted in space-time over the entire created realm would have been neglected mention.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ وَنُوحٙا
Indeed, Allah the Exalted had granted distinction and elevated stature to Adam , and to Noah —
وَءَالَ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ وَءَالَ عِمْرَٟنَ
And to the clan of Iebra'heim and the clan of Imr'aan; —
عَلَـى ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ .٣٣
This distinction and preference was over their contemporaries in the world.
ذُرِّيَّةَۢ بَعْضُهَا مِنۢ بَعْضٛۗ
Those clans(of Iebra'heim and Imr'aan) some of them were the progeny belonging to some dynasty.
وَٱللَّهُ سَـمِيعٌ عَلِيـمٌ .٣٤
Be mindful, Allah the Exalted is eternally the Listener, the Fountain of Knowledge - Setter of sciences.
Here the fact about grant of distinction (ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ) is not with reference to selection of particular Galaxy of Men (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۦنَ) as evident by the mention of clans (ءَالَ) of two dignitaries. The distinction individually granted to Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam is earlier mentioned
وَمَن يَرْغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبْرَٟهِـۦمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُۥۚ
Be thoughtful; Who is he who would avert inclination away from the Prescribed Procedural Code of the Community of Iebra'heim ? None turns-averts his inclination away except the one who made fool of himself.
وَلَقَدِ ٱصْطَفَيْنَـٟهُ فِـى ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ
Be mindful; Our Majesty had with pleasure selected and elevated him in this World.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِـى ٱلۡءَاخِـرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .١٣٠
Of course, he is certainly one of the most distinguished in the ranks of the Righteous-the Perfectionists in the Hereafter.
The ancestral/genetic lineage of Galaxy of distinguished and exalted Men (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۦن) is explicitly mentioned
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَٟقَ وَيَعْقُوبَۚ
And Our Majesty granted him Ies'hauqe and Ya'qoob
كُلّٙا هَدَيْنَاۚ
Our Majesty guided each one of them.
وَنُوحٙا هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْلُۖ
--And foretimes, Our Majesty had guided Noah --.
وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِۦ دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَٟنَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَـىٰ وَهَٟرُونَۚ
And guided out of his posterity; Da'ued; and Sulie'maan; and Ayub; and Yusuf; and Musa and Ha'roon .
وَكَذَٟلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِيـنَ .٨٤
And in this way Our Majesty reward those who conduct moderately, gracefully and generously.
وَزَكَرِيَّا وَيَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلْيَاسَۖ
And Our Majesty had guided Zakariyya, and Yahya and Easa and Ilyas —
كُلّٚ مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٨٥
Each one of them is confirmed as the member of the Righteous- Perfectionists.
وَإِسْـمَٟعِيلَ وَٱلْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٙاۚ
And Our Majesty had guided Iesma'eile and Al-Yasa'a and Yunus and Luet .
وَكُلّٙا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَـى ٱلْعَٟلَمِيـنَ .٨٦
Know it; Our Majesty has granted each one of them the uniqueness-sanctity-preference over the humanity- manifested realm.
وَمِنْ ءَابَآئِـهِـمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِـهِـمْ وَإِخْوَٟنِـهِـمْۖ
And Our Majesty blessed and guided some of their fathers - forefathers; and some of their progenies and their brothers.
وَٱجْتَبَيْنَٟهُـمْ وَهَدَيْنَٟهُـمْ إِلَـىٰ صِـرَٟطٛ مُّسْتَقِيـمٛ .٨٧
Stay informed; Our Majesty had personally selected them (afore-named personalities) as a distinct group and had guided them to call the people to the High Road Course that keeps heading safely and stably to the destination of peace and tranquillity.
These four Ayahs 684-87 comprising of 69 words, though appear like a paragraph in English language, but it is like a Complex-Compound Sentence a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. And by purpose-type it is a Declarative Sentence –Used to make a simple statement. Eight names are referred as direct descendants of Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam (إِسْحَٟقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ;دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَٟنَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَـىٰ وَهَٟرُونَ).
All Proper Nouns-Names are in accusative case/state and are thus the direct object of preceding or following verb; and by rendering them in conjunct state in the style of compound sentence, repetition of verb is economized.
كُلّٙا -كُلّٙ These are in absolute state with Tanween. This word is always used in construct- possessive phrase. When used elliptically- extremely concise in writing, it always has the "nunation of compensation" as is the case here. It thus denotes, "each one". كُلّٙ It is the subject of Nominal sentence while كُلّٙا is the fronted object of verb at both occurrences.
In between the mention of a group of proper nouns, we find a Parenthetic sentences ; it renders the conjunct particle to link the next four Proper Nouns as object of the verb "'Our Majesty had guided".
A prepositional phrase with separable preposition مِن is neither a subject of a sentence, nor subject or object of a verb, and nor is it a predicate. The first prepositional phrase coupled with possessive phrase مِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِۦ relates to elided circumstantial clause, with third person masculine pronoun referent for Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam; thus eight names are referred as his direct descendants.
The next prepositional phrase coupled with possessive phrase and tied by conjunction particle with another two phrases links to the preceding verb فَضَّلْنَا The third person plural masculine pronoun suffixed to all the three possessive phrases refers to four names mentioned immediately prior to it, individually as well.
Preposition مِنْ has one of its function termed التبعيض Portioning The relation which subsists between the part and whole, the species and the genus; the function of this is to express the relationship between the part and whole; the member and the body to which that member belongs. The check to determine its function as such is to substitute it by بعض ما some who were.
The narrative is interrupted by a parenthetical statement to amalgamate the past in the present scenario before making a concluding statement about the eighteen named members of the exalted Galaxy
ذَٟلِكَ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ
-- This Book (Grand Qur’ān) is now the Guidance of Allah the Exalted.
يَـهْدِى بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦۚ
He the Exalted guides through it a person about whom He decides to be guided out of His subjects-people --.
وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَحَبِطَ عَنْـهُـم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ .٨٨
Know it, had they assigned partners with Allah the Exalted; indeed the acts they had earlier performed would have become voided, weightless froth --. (read with 380)
Referring back to eighteen mentioned persons, it is declared
أُو۟لَـٟٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحُكْـمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَۚ
They (aforementioned 18 Messengers) are the Men whom Our Majesty had given the Book; and the faculty of distinguishing wisdom and decision power (in childhood) and the Elevated status and distinction over all other creation (at birth by simultaneously descending the book earmarked for them-2213).
فَإِن يَكْـفُـرْ بِـهَا هَٟٓـؤُلَآءِ فَقَدْ وَكَّلْنَا بِـهَا قَوْمٙا لَّيْسُوا۟ بِـهَا بِكَـٟفِرِينَ .٨٩
Sequel to this information if these people deny about it, We have already entrusted it to a people who are not rejecters of it.
The sequencing of granted (ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ) objects is by time frame moving from present to remote past; from state of strengthen maturity to their childhood and birth. The status of elevation and distinction (ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ) is their intrinsic feature on birth; and were granted the Book (ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ) on being assigned the responsibility of the Messenger; while in between they were granted ٱلْحُكْـمَ, the faculty of wisdom of restraining doing an evil, injustice and wrongful act. It is explicitly mentioned by reference about two of them
فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَٟٓئِكَـةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٚ يُصَلِّـى فِـى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ
His prayer was accepted whereby the Angels called upon him (Zakaria ), while he was standing for As-sa'laat Time Bound Protocol of Servitude and allegiance, in the Secluded Chamber —
أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّـرُكَ بِيَحْيَـىٰ
That, "Indeed, Allah the Exalted congratulates you with good news of Yahya —
مُصَدِّقَـاۢ بِكَلِمَةٛ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ
He will be an affirmer and testifier; this news conveyed to you is with the word- promise of Allah the Exalted.
وَسَيِّدٙا وَحَصُورٙا وَنَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٣٩
And he will be honoured as distinguished dignitary and encircled by people in attendance; and at birth would be Elevated-Chosen Servant , one of the distinguished righteous".
The other two exclusive features - attributes of the life after birth of the member of said Galaxy were
يـٟيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ بِقُوَّةٛۖ
"O Yahya! You hold the Book implementing it with firmness".
وَءَاتَيْنَـٟهُ ٱلْحُكْـمَ صَبِيّٙا .١٢
And earlier Our Majesty had given him the faculty of distinguishing wisdom, decision power, while he was still a child —
The childhood of another two members of the Galaxy, i.e. Iesma'eile and Yusuf is also mentioned in the Discourse that reflects they were bestowed wisdom and decision power very early to keep their lives spotless of any blame or shame- worthy instance.
The fact that the Members of this Galaxy are endowed this exalted characteristic since birth is explicit from another mentioned instance
وَبَشَّـرْنَٟهُ بِإِسْحَٟقَ نَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .١١٢
And Our Majesty delighted him (Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam) with the news of Ies'hauq to be born as Elevated and Chosen Allegiant, one of the distinguished Perfectionists.
The ancestry of the members of unique Galaxy again finds mention
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْـهِـم مِّنَ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۦنَ
The aforementioned by name were the members of the group-galaxy of Chosen and distinctly exalted sincere Allegiants—upon whom Allah the Exalted showered blessings —
مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ ءَادَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَـمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٛ
Genetically some were from the progeny of Adam ; and some were descendant/s of those whom Our Majesty had uploaded in the ship along with Noah —
وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ وَإِسْرَٟٓءِيلَ
And some of them were the progeny of Iebra'heim and some were progeny of Iesraa'eel .
وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَٱجْتَبَيْـنَآۚ
And some were descendant/s he whom Our Majesty had guided and Our Majesty had personally chosen.
إِذَا تُتْلَـىٰ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتُ ٱلرَّحْـمَـٰنِ خَرُّوا۟ سُجَّدٙا وَبُكِيّٙا۩ .٥٨
When the Aa'ya'at verbal passages of the Book of Ar'Reh'maan were recited upon them they kneeled down prostrating, and eyes overflowing with tears.
Three ancestors of the Galaxy of exalted Men (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۦن) are mentioned by name; and one are referred without name by specific reference to those staunch monotheist believers who embarked the ship/ark along with Noah . And again it is mentioned that as an icon of Iebra'heim
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسْحَٟقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ
And Our Majesty gifted to him (Iebra'heim ) Ies'hauqe and Ya'qoob .
وَجَعَلْنَا فِـى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ
And Our Majesty kept in his progeny the position of Distinction of Elevation and Selectivity and the Book as his icon—
وَءَاتَيْنَـٟهُ أَجْرَهُۥ فِـى ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ
And Our Majesty granted him his reward in this World —
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِـى ٱلۡءَاخِـرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٢٧
Of course, he is certainly one of the most distinguished in the ranks of the Righteous-the Perfectionists in the Hereafter.
The ancestral history of the members of unique Galaxy once again finds mention
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحٙا وَإِبْرَٟهِيـمَ
And be aware of history; it is a fact that Our Majesty had sent Noah and Iebra'heim to their respective nations—
وَجَعَلْنَا فِـى ذُرِّيَّتِـهِـمَا ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلْـكِـتَٟبَۖ
And Our Majesty kept in the progeny of both of them the position of Distinction of Elevation and Selectivity and the Book as their icon—
فَمِنْـهُـم مُّهْتَدٛۖ
Since every individual enjoys autonomy, thereby, there are those who made themselves aright guided adjudged amongst them—
وَكَثِيـرٚ مِّنْـهُـمْ فَـٟسِقُونَ .٢٦
While most of them are adjudged "fasiqoona"/the promise breakers and transgressors/who go out of the prescribed bounds.
Here the entire ancestral history of the remote and recent past is encompassed by two ancestors.
To recap the Ancestors of the Members of Exalted Group of Men we name them
-
ءَادَمَ Adam Mentioned 25 times; (as ancestor 195
-
نُوحٚ Noah ; Mentioned 43 times; (as ancestor 5726; himself progeny of Adam!)
-
مَنْ حَـمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٛ Those staunch monotheist believers who embarked the Arc along with نُوح; Un-named (ancestor 195
-
إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ Iebra'heim Mentioned 69 times (ancestor 684; 2927; 5726)
-
إِسْرَٟٓءِيلَ Iesraa'eel Mentioned 43 and as Ya'qoob 16 times (as ancestor 1958; 4516).
Distinguished Messenger Iebra'heim is declared as Honorific father of Muslims (227 irrespective of their individual nationalities? Who was his Ancestor? It is disclosed
وَءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَـى ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ
And it is certain that Our Majesty had given Mūsā the Book.
وَجَعَلْنَٟهُ هُدٙى لِّبَنِـىٓ إِسْرَٟٓءِيلَ
And Our Majesty had declared that Book (At'Toraat) as guidance for Bani Iesraa'eel.
أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ مِن دُونِـى وَكِيلٙا .٢
By advising them "you people should not adopt, apart from Me, anyone as trustee, protector and disposer of affairs—
ذُرِّيَّةَ مَنْ حَـمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٛۚ
O you the progeny of him whom Our Majesty uploaded in the ship along with Noah ".
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَبْدٙا شَكُورٙا .٣
It is a fact that he was persistently a thankful sincere allegiant.
Bani Iesraa'eel is described as the posterity of one of the staunch monotheist believers who had embarked the ship along with Noah . And Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam is the genetic ancestor of Bani Iesraa'eel. Therefore, it is evident he is in the posterity of same person, and not the posterity of Noah . How great were they regarded? All of them were to become the ancestor of emerging civilizations
قِيلَ يٟنُوحُ ٱهْبِطْ بِسَلَٟمٛ مِّنَّا وَبَركَٟتٛ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَـىٰٓ أُمَمٛ مِّمَّن مَّعَكَۚ
It was pronounced, "O Noah Disembark with peace and tranquillity bestowed by Our Majesty and blessings are upon you and upon the "nations" who will emerge from some those who are with you —
وَأُمَمٚ سَنُمَتِّعُهُـمْ ثُـمَّ يَـمَسُّهُـم مِّنَّا عَذَابٌ أَلِيـمٚ .٤٨
And the "nations" Our Majesty will keep giving them worldly wherewithal; afterwards lapse of time severe punishment will inflict them decreed by Our Majesty.
And Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam, all by himself is a "nation", personification of a system
إِنَّ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ كَانَ أُمَّةٙ قَانِتٙا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفٙا
Indeed, Iebra'heim is a personification of a system established for acknowledging the Supremacy and Sovereignty of Allah the Exalted; he remained steadfast for Allah the Exalted, he was persistently and perpetually a staunch monotheist —
وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْـرِكِيـنَ .١٢٠
And he was never considered and identified as member of idol-worshippers of his times —
Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam is the universal head of Muslim Community
وَمَن يَرْغَبُ عَن مِّلَّةِ إِبْرَٟهِـۦمَ إِلَّا مَن سَفِهَ نَفْسَهُۥۚ
Be thoughtful; Who is he who would avert inclination away from the Prescribed Procedural Code of the Community of Iebra'heim ? None turns-averts his inclination away except the one who made fool of himself.
وَلَقَدِ ٱصْطَفَيْنَـٟهُ فِـى ٱلدُّنْيَاۖ
Be mindful; Our Majesty had with pleasure selected and elevated him in this World.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِـى ٱلۡءَاخِـرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .١٣٠
Of course, he is certainly one of the most distinguished in the ranks of the Righteous-the Perfectionists in the Hereafter.
Accordingly, the Universal Messenger is asked to affirm the truthfulness of the Statement of Allah the Exalted and accordingly direct the humanity to follow in letter and spirit the Community Code of life of Iebra'heim
قُلْ صَدَقَ ٱللَّهُۗ
You the Messenger pronounce "Allah the Exalted has stated the fact.
فَٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ حَنِيفٙا
Therefore, you people are hereby directed to incessantly follow the Community Code of life of Iebra'heim . He was ever Sincere and upright staunch monotheist believer.
وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْـرِكِيـنَ .٩٥
And be mindful, he (Iebra'heim ) was never considered and identified as a part of the Idolaters of his times."
Allah the Exalted has granted Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam a unique honour
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينٙا مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُۥ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٚ
And reflect; Who could be more moderate and balanced physical conduct wise, than him who has surrendered and harmonized his free will - face for Allah the Exalted; and he is an endeavourer of striking equilibrium-truth-virtue and avoider of spreading distortions-conjectural myths —
واتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ حَنِيفٙاۗ
And he incessantly followed in letter and spirit the prescribed procedure of community of Iebra'heim (alai'his'slaam), . Iebra'heim was ever Sincere and upright staunch monotheist believer and Muslim in conduct.
وَٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ خَلِيلٙا .١٢٥
Be aware; Allah the Exalted has personally held Iebra'heim (alai'his'slaam) as a close friend.

- Culmination of Divine Communication of Guidance - Permanent Human Guide appointed.
The sixth Ancestor is the elder son إِسْـمَٟعِيلَ Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam (mentioned 12 times) of إِبْرَٟهِيـمَ Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam who along with his father prayed for the raising of only one Messenger in his progeny while raising the House of Allah the Exalted in the Town named Becca (2127; 396).
وَإِذْ يَرْفَعُ إِبْرَٟهِـۦمُ ٱلْقَوَاعِدَ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْتِ وَإِسْـمَٟعِيلُ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّـآۖ
And know when earlier Iebra'heim and Iesma'eile were raising the Foundations having commenced building the House , they prayed "Our Sustainer Lord! Kindly grace with Your acceptance our masonry service.
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيـمُ .١٢٧
The fact remains that You the Exalted are certainly the Ever Listener, eternally and absolutely; You are the Source of knowledge - setter of sciences.
They further prayed
رَبَّنَا وَٱجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْـنِ لَكَ
They further prayed Our Sustainer Lord! And do declare us as two Muslims who are perpetually Monotheist Believer for You the Exalted.
وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ أُمَّةٙ مُّسْلِمَةٙ لَّكَ
Moreover, You the Exalted do keep - declare amongst the progeny of both of us a community remaining Muslim - subservient exclusively for You the Exalted.
وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآۖ
And do cause the demonstration for us to observe our formal procedures- protocols- rites; and kindly turn in mercy towards us.
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِـيـمُ .١٢٨
It is a fact that You the Exalted are certainly the oft granter of impunity, the fountain of Mercy."
Father and son are jointly praying, thereby, "our progeny" refers progeny of both individually and collectively. They further prayed
رَبَّنَا وَٱبْعَثْ فِيـهِـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنْـهُـمْ
Our Sustainer Lord! And raise a revivalist amongst them as messenger who is characteristically a perpetually Monotheist Believer amongst them- .
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِكَ وَيُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيـهِـمْۚ
He will recite word by word-syllable by syllable the Aa'ya'at Verbal Unitary Passages of the Book of You the Exalted. And he will educate them to read and copy writing the Book, and will teach them how to attain the wisdom-capability to perceive the information about invisible realities. And he will intellectually uplift-sanctify them .
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلعَزِيزُ ٱلحَكِيـمُ .١٢٩
The fact remains that You the Exalted are certainly the Pervasively and absolutely dominant; and the Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realm, visible and invisible."
Before continuing their prayer, as is evident from conjunction particle, they again addressed رَبَّنَا, "Our Sustainer Lord". It rhetorically reflects deep desire for the acceptance of prayer. The prayer for raising a solitary Messenger is among the Muslim community (فِيـهِـمْ) comprising of the progeny of both. In the supplication, since there is unity between father and son; and since the request is for one Messenger only, it is restricted to the would-be progeny of Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam. But the desire is that he be the Messenger also for the entire progeny of Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam.
The prayer is very comprehensive and explicit. Not only the lineage of the requested Messenger was indicated but also the timing of raising him on the worldly scene. Since the object of verb is indefinite (a messenger) its elided specification is by prepositional phrase (مِّنْـهُـمْ). The preposition مِّنْ can be estimated as التبعيض in substantive meaning a part, and التفضيلية favoured, preferential choice.
The grand sons of the second son of Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam had prioritized the name of their grand honorific father Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam
أَمْ كُنتُـمْ شُهَدَآءَ إِذْ حَضَرَ يَعْقُوبَ ٱلْمَوْتُ
Were you people the witnesses when the Death became apparent to Ya'qoob —
إِذْ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِWhen he said enquiring from his Sons
مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنۢ بَعْدِى
"Whom will you serve - be allegiant after my death?"
قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ إِلَـٟهَكَ وَإِلَـٟهَ ءَابَآئِكَ إِبْرَٟهِـۦمَ وَإِسْـمَٟعِيلَ وَإِسْحَٟقَ إِلَـٟهٙا وَٟحِدٙا
They all said "We presently and henceforth solely and exclusively owe and demonstrate allegiance and servitude to the Iela'aha of you, and the Iela'aha of your fathers Iebra'heim, and Iesma'eile and Ies'hauq ; the Only and Alone Iela'aha (Allah) —
وَنَـحْنُ لَهُۥ مُسْلِمُونَ .١٣٣
And for Him the Exalted we are Muslims - adherents of Constitution-Code of Conduct Islam."
Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam had only two sons (1439) elder Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam from one wife granted on request (37100-113), and the other Ies'hauq alai'his'slaam (granted as unsolicited gift 2172; mentioned 17 times) from other wife about whom good news of birth was given by the visitor angel Messengers; who also informed him about their mission of annihilation of the nation of elevated Messenger Luet alai'his'slaam (1169-76;1551-56; 5124-30). Ies'hauq alai'his'slaam was blessed with only one son Ya'qoob who is also named Iesraa'eel, the ancestor of the only nation mentioned by genetic reference بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٟٓءِيلَ.
Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam and Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam had proposed in their prayer the following assignments for the requested raising of a universal Messenger
رَبَّنَا وَٱبْعَثْ فِيـهِـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنْـهُـمْ
-
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِكَ
-
يُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ.

يُزَكِّيـهِـمْ .
The third person masculine plural noun refers to the would-be progeny of the two Supplicants. The sentence (يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ) is used four times, once to inform that it were all along the practice of the Messengers (2859) and three times for the Universal Messenger. The pronoun in the verb exclusively refers the Last Member of the Galaxy and the Universal Messenger. The prayer was for raising a solitary Messenger in the progeny of Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam which was acceded
كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنكُـمْ
Conclude My Favour/Grace/boon like the obliging beneficence that Our Majesty sent among you as a Messenger who has been a perpetual Monotheist Believer-Muslim amongst you —
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا
He recites word by word upon you people Our Aa'ya'at unitary verbal passages of the Book —
The request was to raise (ٱبْعَثْ) a messenger in their progeny
لَقَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَـى ٱلْمُؤمِنِيـنَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيـهِـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِـمْ
It is a certain fact that Allah the Exalted had conferred beneficence/indebtedness upon the Believers at the moment He appointed a Revivalist/re-Awakener within them as a messenger who was one of staunch monotheist believer in their community —
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ
He recites word by word upon them the Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Him the Exalted.
He is the only member of the Galaxy raised (بَعَثَ) in the progeny of Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam and appointed Universal Messenger
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِـى ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ رَسُولٙا مِّنْـهُـمْ
He the Exalted is the One Who appointed; within the People identified as ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ the Gentile the people who were earlier not given the Book by Allah the Exalted, a revivalist/re-awakener as a Messenger who has been a Staunch Monotheist Believing person in them —
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ
He recites word by word upon them the Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Him the Exalted.
The third person pronoun exclusively refers the group of people described by (الإسم المنسوب) the definite plural Relative/National adjective ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ who are the posterity of Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam, recognized then as the Gentile the people who were earlier not given the Book by Allah the Exalted. They were the people who after Ancestor Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam were not bestowed the Divine Guidance, generation after generation, until the raising of the Universal Messenger
وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ ءَأَسْلَمْتُـمْۚ
And you the Messenger pose this question for those who were given the Book and also for those people who were earlier not given the Book; designated, and associated as ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ the Gentiles, "Have you people heartily submitted to the Prescribed Code of Conduct, Islam?"
The recognitive attribute of ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ the Gentiles against the Peoples of Book was hitherto non-grant of Divine Book to them. It is mentioned in the direct address to them
أَن تَقُولُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبُ عَلَـىٰ طَآئِفَتَيْـنِ مِن قَبْلِنَا
The permanent Book has been sent lest you people (ٱلۡأُمِّيِّــۧنَ the Gentiles) take the plea saying "The Book had been compositely sent only upon two groups (Jews and Christians) before us—
وَإِن كُنَّا عَن دِرَاسَتِـهِـمْ لَغَٟفِلِيـنَ .١٥٦
And the fact is that we were certainly unaware of their study."
أَوْ تَقُولُوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّـآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْـكِـتَٟبُ لَـكُنَّـآ أَهْدَىٰ مِنْـهُـمْۚ
Or lest you people take the plea claiming "Had it been so that the Book was compositely sent upon us, we would have certainly been guided people better than those two groups Jews and Christians".
فَقَدْ جَآءَكُم بَيِّنَةٚ مِّن رَّبِّكُـمْ
No occasion for such excuse is left since verbal passages of lucid discourse have reached you people from your Sustainer Lord;
وَهُدٙى وَرَحْـمَةٚۚ
And Guidance Regulation - information code for aright course of conduct and blessing.
It is explicitly mentioned that they were the people who did not have the Messengers and the books in their long history after the Ancestor Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam in remote pastوَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٟـهُـم مِّنْ كُتُبٛ يَدْرُسُونَـهَاۖ
How they make such statements while Our Majesty had not given them at all some book which they were studying —
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْـهِـمْ قَبْلَكَ مِّن نَّذِيرٛ .٤٤
And nor Our Majesty had sent towards them before you any revivalist/admonisher/awakener.
A part of them had become polytheists and had distorted the protocols of Islam. They were questioned
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُـمْ شُرَكَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَرُونِـى مَاذَا خَلَقُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرْضِ
You the Messenger ask them, "Have you given a thought about your associates whom you people call apart from Allah the Exalted , show/point out to me what they have created in Earth."
أَمْ لَـهُـمْ شِرْكٚ فِـى ٱلسَّمَٟوَٟتِ
Or is there a share/partnership in the Skies allocated for them?
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَـٟـهُـمْ كِتَٟبٙا فَهُـمْ عَلَـىٰ بَيِّنَتٛ مِّنْهُۥۚ
Or had Our Majesty given them a book for which reason they are on the manifest course given in that?
بَلْ إِن يَعِدُ ٱلظَّٟلِمُونَ بَعْضُهُـم بَعْضٙا إِلَّا غُـرُورٙا .٤٠
No, the fact is that some of the distorters/evil doers promise/inspire to some others fascinating conjectures, deceptively.
The identity and recognitive attribute of the universal Messenger requested in the prayer of two supplicants is specifically mentioned
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلۡءاُمِّىَّ
(I will make My mercy incumbent upon such people of the Book) They of the people of Book who sincerely follow in action the Messenger — that of the Covenant of galaxy of Chosen and Elevated Allegiant who accomplished their arrival, his genetic relationship is ٱلۡءاُمِّىَّ Gentile (progeny of Ismaeil alahissaml who were not bestowed with Book of Allah in later generations).
ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبٙا عِندَهُـمْ فِـى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ
The peculiarity of the Messenger is that they find him mentioned in writing with them inscribed in Tor'aat and In'jeel —
It is repeated by disclosure that he is the Universal Messenger
قُلْ
You the Messenger pronounce
يَـٰٓأَيُّـهَا ٱلنَّاسُ" O you the Mankind, listen;
إِنِّـى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُـمْ جَـمِيعٙاIndeed I am the Messenger of Allah the Exalted towards you people universally - all people collectively to act as Guarantor-Conveyor of glad tidings and Revivalist-Warner-Awakener—
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٟوَٟتِ وَٱلۡأَرْضِۖ
He the Exalted is the One The Dominion and Sovereignty of the Skies and the Earth is the exclusive precognitive for Him the Exalted—
لَآ إِلَٟهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
Realize it about miscellany of iela'aha deities that are uncritically admired, adorned and worshipped; none of them is alive; none of them organizes, administers or sustains others except He the Alone Sustainer Lord.
يُحْـىِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ
He the Exalted causes emergence of life in matter and causes death to alive."
فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ ٱلۡءاُمِّـىِّ ٱلَّذِى يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَٟتِهِۦ
Messenger has since pronounced the fact which has reached you in Qur’ān, therefore, you people are hereby directed to believe in Allah the Exalted and His Messenger who is the Elevated and Chosen Allegiant of Allah having association with the people whom book was not given earlier. He believes in Allah the Exalted and His words-parlance-discourse (Qur’ān).
وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّـكُـمْ تَـهْتَدُونَ .١٥٨
Further, you people are hereby directed to practically follow him (the said Messenger) diligently and reverently in the manner that no third party intervention is in between. Adhere to this course of conduct so that you people might guide yourselves aright on to the road to salvation/success.
The addressee are the humanity. They are directed to follow in letter and spirit the Universal Messenger. They must do it if they wish to make their selves aright guided. This is the culmination of Divine Communication of Guidance since permanent Guide is there.
Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam and Iesma'eile alai'his'slaam had proposed in their prayer the following assignments for the requested raising of a universal Messenger
رَبَّنَا وَٱبْعَثْ فِيـهِـمْ رَسُولٙا مِّنْـهُـمْ
-
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِكَ Discussed above.
-
يُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ.
-
يُزَكِّيـهِـمْ .
They placed the act يُزَكِّيـهِـمْ last in the proposed assignments. It is third person singular masculine imperfect verb, indicative mood, Form-II, that stems from verbal noun "تَزْكِيَةٌ" and Root "ز ك و". Ibn Faris stated "يدل على نَمَاءٍ وزيادة" that it leads to the perception of growth, thriving and increase, augmentation". Mentioning it later indicates the time when the progenies of both would have gone in mire needing a leader to extricate them from shackles of neglect, myths and conjectures into realm of light and enlightenment by reciting the verbal passages and teaching the knowledge and wisdom contained in the Book assigned to him. Allah the Exalted has put it in the middle; indicating it is progressively accomplished
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُـمْ ءَايَٟتِنَا
He recites word by word upon you people Our Aa'ya'at unitary verbal passages of the Book —
وَيُزَكِّيكُـمْ
And he makes you people intellectually uplifted and sanctified (by removing shackles of conjectural myths- distortions in belief) —
وَيُعَلِّمُكُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ
And he (Messenger Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) educates you to read and write the Book (Qur’ān) and teaches you to attain the wisdom-enlightenment-insight to perceive information about invisible realities —
وَيُعَلِّمُكُـم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ .١٥١
Realize it; he (Messenger Mohammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam) imparts you the information-knowledge which hitherto you did not have.
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ
He recites word by word upon them the Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Him the Exalted.
وَيُزَكِّيـهِـمْ
And he intellectually uplifts-sanctifies them .
وَيُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةََAnd he educates them to read and write the recited text imparting the knowledge of the Book and he teaches them how to attain the wisdom capability to perceive the information about invisible realities.
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِـى ضَلٟلٛ مُّبِىنٛ .١٦٤
And they were certainly in a manifest state of unwariness in foretimes (for reason 366).
يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْـهِـمْ ءَايَٟتِهِۦ
He recites word by word upon them the Aa'ya'at verbal passages of Him the Exalted.
وَيُزَكِّيـهِـمْ
And he intellectually uplifts-sanctifies them .
وَيُعَلِّمُهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَAnd he educates them to read and write the recited text imparting the knowledge of the Book and he teaches them how to attain the wisdom capability to perceive the information about invisible realities.
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَٟلٛ مُّبِيـنٛ .٢
And they were certainly in a manifest state of unwariness in foretimes (for reason 366).
The source of guidance is but unitary, be it for a single cell or for human being. The guidance information code for aright course for sustaining life of a cell is encoded in the DNA. DNA contains the instructions for growth and development in humans and all living things. Our DNA is packaged into chromosomes that contain all of our genes. The guidance for humanity is encoded in the Grand Qur’ān the constitution for aright conduct and the guarantor of sustained life.
يَـٰٓأَيُّـهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟
O those people who have proclaimed to have believed in the Messenger and Qur’ān, listen;
ٱسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُـمْۖ
You people sincerity and desirously respond for Allah the Exalted; and sincerely and affirmatively respond respond for the Messenger when he (the Messenger) has urged you people towards that (Grand Qur’ān) which will give you people life .
وَاعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيْـنَ ٱلْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِۦ
Moreover, you people get informed-know-understand that Allah the Exalted is He Who transmits or creates a barrier-obstruction in between the Person and the Heart of him.
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَـرُونَ .٢٤
Take note, He the Exalted is the One towards Whom you will certainly be gathered .
It is the "DNA" for growth and development of human personality to an exaltation that will render him eligible to be piloted by the great of creations, Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, beyond the ascensions of earthly universe to his original abode - the Paradise, to live and enjoy the truly living life of the Hereafter.

- History of Non-human solitary source of guidance North Star.
The source of guidance is but unitary - the Creator. The Communicator - Transmitter of Guidance appointed by the Source is also unitary. Be it for human beings or for trillion cells in his body. It is Human Messenger and Messenger RNA molecule in human genome. And there is one Star in the Sky that comes to the rescue of a man in bewilderment of clueless location to show him the direction. They all are analogous. They all perform what is encoded in Root ھ د ى to direct to the way; or cause to take, and head a right way or course or direction.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَـكُـمُ ٱلنُّجُومَ
Moreover, He the Exalted has rendered for you people certain Stars as Pointers -direction finders
لِتَـهْتَدُوا۟ بِـهَا فِـى ظُلُمَٟتِ ٱلْبَـرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِۗ
So that you people self find the direction with their help while you people are in darkness-clueless locations-unmarked spaces-bewilderment of the Desert-Land and the Ocean.
قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا ٱلْءَايَـٟتِ لِقَوْمٛ يَعْلَمُونَ .٩٧
Indeed Our Majesty has rendered the Aa'ya'at verbal passages - linguistic tokens (of Qur’ān) into distinct semantic frames individuating each subject matter for the people in pursuit of knowing-knowledge.
The first object of the verb is definite plural ٱلنُّجُومَ, "the Stars", and its second rendered-as object is manifestly understood from verbal sentence with preposition interpreted in the meaning of verbal noun اِهْتِدَاءٌ. Certain Stars are declared as helping people in finding direction in the bewilderment of oceans and deserts, no-clue places. But later particular Star is mentioned by which people at their own find direction
وَعَلٟمَٟتٛۚ
And He the Exalted has placed in land marks-pointers —
وَبِٱلنَّجْمِ هُـمْ يَـهْتَدُونَ .١٦
And they people get the direction-guidance with the help of the Star - North pole.
Since ancient times, humans have knowledge about determining directions and paths with the help of stars. But the source of guidance is always unitary, the North/Pole Star. Other stars, Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) point to the North Star. The Grand Qur’ān is declared as ٱلْحَقُّ, the statement of absolute fact, established reality in time and space. It once said that Allah the Exalted has rendered/appointed peculiar Stars, and later it is said that people get direction-orientation with the help of One specific Star. In common knowledge, people perceive that North/Pole Star is the one but that is not the fact.
Like the six genealogy of the Stars of unique human Galaxy (ٱلنَّبِيُّونَ), the North Star also has the history. Both kept changing, but their location/role remained the same in space and timeline, to guide people in the right direction. The current North Star, named Polaris, occupied this position in 500 AD. Before it, six stars were granted this status. They are mentioned below, with thanks to Wikipedia
Alpha Ursae Minoris Polaris 1.98 Ursa Minor within 0.5° the current North Star - 500 AD
Alpha Lyrae Vega 0.026 Lyra within 5° used to be the North Star at about 11,500 BC;
Iota Herculis 3.75 Hercules within 4° used to be the North Star at about 9,000 BC; and will become the North Star at 15,000 AD
Tau Herculis 3.89 Hercules within 1° was the pole star in 7,400BC, will be again around 18,400AD
Iota Draconis Edasich 3.29 Draco within 5° used to be the North Star at about 4,420 BC
Alpha Draconis Thuban ثعبانthuʿbān 3.65 Draco within 0.2° used to be the North Star at about 3,000 BC
Beta Ursae Minoris Kochab 2.08 Ursa Minor within 7° used to be the North Star at about 1,100 BCThe mankind, particularly the people of the Book (Jews and Nisara), were in wait for the corporeal arrival of the Universal Messenger; and were under obligation of their Covenant to believe in him. Now the entire humanity is in the same giant loop only to experience and face any moment the Determined Hour of Last Day of the Earthly Universe because her conditionalities have since been met
فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَـهُـم بَغْتَةٙۖ
Since they are reluctant and hesitant to believe despite knowing infallibility of the Message thereby, you confirm are they waiting but that the Determined Moment may come to them all of a sudden?
فَقَدْ جَآءَ أَشْرَاطُهَاۚ
Then they must know indeed the stipulations of her (the determined last moment) has since come .
فَأَنَّـىٰ لَـهُـمْ إِذَا جَآءَتْـهُـمْ ذِكْـرَىٰـهُـمْ .١٨
Since she will happen all of a sudden with no prior warning, thereat of what avail will be for them their recalling when she (the Moment) would have arrived?

God Bless peace
The words, in and into are quite similar in their meaning, but their difference lies in the fact that 'into' is used when someone or something moves to another location which is an enclosed one. Conversely, 'in' is used when something is already in a resting position in an enclosed space.
we have to be extremely cautious of the people who come stealthily to whisper into peoples’ ears and then withdraw, thus creating doubts in their minds and weakening their firm resolve.
The first translation, "who whispers into the hearts of Mankind," uses "into," which suggests that the whispers are entering or penetrating the hearts of mankind.
The second translation, "Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind," uses "in," indicating that the whispers are happening within the hearts of mankind.
In your opinion, will one correct translation from the two above changes the essence of the verse? I believe both translations convey the concept of influencing people hearts?
All this is done by people who are known and familiar to us as well as by strangers; as well as through intangible forces. personally I felt some time I am completely influenced by a foreign evil/destructive idea that is brought to me by external entity... other times it is the same case but that idea was already there inside me some where in dormnt stage and the external entity act as a triggering force..
In Arabic, the translations of the words "into" and "in" can vary depending on the context. Here are the most common translations
"Into" can be translated into Arabic as "إلى" (ila) when indicating movement or direction toward something. For example
He went into the room. (ذهب إلى الغرفة)
"In" can be translated into Arabic as "في" (fi) when indicating location or position within something. For example
He is in the house. (هو في المنزل)
"In" can also be translated as "بِـ" (bi) in some cases. For example
He is in the car. (هو بالسيارة)"Inside" or "within" can be translated as "داخل" (daakhil) when emphasizing being inside or within something. For example
The book is inside the bag. (الكتاب داخل الحقيبة)The choice of translation depends on the specific context in which these words are used, as Arabic prepositions and phrases are chosen based on the intended meaning.

Subject of verb يُوَسْوِسُ is مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ
The basic perception infolded in the Root of verb يُوَسْوِسُ, and verbal noun ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ is to inspire a fascinating desire and hope. Its actualization and positive affect upon the targeted is possible only through an object, a cause that will relay the thought generating hope and desire. Chest is the locus of desires and hope.

- The choice for grant of exalted stature is since their "Abstract existence", thus born with declaration as the great. Allah the Exalted pronounced
كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٙ وَٟحِدَةٙ
The people used to be a singular harmonious unit-group.
فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ مُبَشِّـرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ
Thereby, , Allah the Exalted brought into the world (ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ) the Chosen and elevated allegiant - subjects to appoint them Messengers assigning the responsibility to assure-guarantee glad tidings and to caution - awaken the people.
The choice of the verb بَعَثَ is very meaningful since it is semantically heavily loaded. Its primary, conceptual meaning (also called "denotative" or "cognitive" meaning) is bringing up, raising into the world; act of presenting on the scene; awaking. Its analogy is like seeds that generally "wake up" and germinate when soil moisture and temperature conditions are favourable for them to grow. It has built-in connotative meaning of prior existence of the object in dormant state. The communicative value an expression has by virtue of what it refers to, over and above its conceptual meanings is termed connotative meaning.
The first question of Metaphysics or first philosophy is existence and first cause. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy which Aristotle called as "first philosophy". It deals with the nature of existence, the being and the world and it is a subject that deals with "first causes and the principles of things". So the study of metaphysics has but to start from Man's own existence. It is no coincidence that the first occurrence of the word of semantic domain خ ل ق "creation" is about creation of humanity, reflecting the honour it has in the physical realm, and being the cause behind all created realm, though he was made to emerge/take existence in physical form when all arrangements commensurate to his status and security were set in place (2317). The cause behind "creation" is the "intent" (اِرَادَةٌ; أَرَادَ) of the Creator
بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٟوَٟتِ وَٱلۡأَرْضِۚ
He the Exalted is the Primal Originator and Accomplisher of the Skies and the Earth.
وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرٙا
Be informed, Provided He the Exalted has finalized-decided-completed any matter-thing, individual event —
فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُنْ
Thereat, He the Exalted merely expresses verbally for that thing-matter-affair-person, saying; "You become in evident-tangibly existing state".
فَيَكُونُ .١١٧
In compliance thereof and in determined natural course that (abstract but effected thing- matter - affair - person) takes existence in physical realm (which can be known- cognizable by others).
It is thus explicit that before creation, any object - affair is decided and accomplished which becomes an abstract reality described by Adjectival Phrase أَمْرٙا مَّقْضِيّٙا. It will become a physical reality whenever asked to take existence in the physical realm because
وَكَانَ أَمْـرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولٙا .٤٧
Be mindful; the decision and commands of Allah the Exalted is bound to get executed and become physically accomplished.
It is thus evident that Allah the Exalted is referring to; let us presume for convenience of our perception, an "idea/thought" of a thing that has yet to emerge in its physical shape-existence as an "object". It indicates that the "image" or "verbal specification" of the object-thing exists prior to its physical manifestation. This also holds true for such human creators who develop or invent something from the already existing matter, though it may be vague at idea stage.
Our knowledge is dependent upon the existence of matter and awareness of its name-code, which verbally mirrors it through words composed with letters and consonants of a language making us cognizant of it. Cognizant is he who can verbally mirror the image of that thing for others. This being the ground reality, We could not say with certainty regarding whether thought-idea-image-name-word mirroring the physical object is the first in existence, or the object mirrored by that Word was first in existence. Grand Qur’ān has clarified for us in simple words that the idea, thought, wish and will of a Living Being precedes the emergence of a physical reality. The idea, thought and perception and verbal description of the thing precedes its taking physical existence. It comes into Physical Realm only in compliance to a Word.
There is mention of 23 Members of Galaxy in the Divine Discourse by name. After mentioning 18 of them by name they are described
أُو۟لَـٟٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ وَٱلْحُكْـمَ وَٱلنُّبُوَّةَۚ
They (aforementioned 18 Messengers) are the Men whom Our Majesty had given the Book; and the faculty of distinguishing wisdom and decision power (in childhood) and the Elevated status and distinction over all other creation (at birth by simultaneously descending the book earmarked for them-2213).
The sequencing of granted (ءَاتَيْـنَـٟـهُـمُ) three objects is by time frame moving from present to remote past; from state of strengthen maturity to their childhood and birth. The status of elevation and distinction (ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ) is their intrinsic feature on birth; and were granted the Book (ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ) on being assigned the responsibility of the Messenger; while in between they were granted ٱلْحُكْـمَ, the faculty of wisdom of restraining doing an evil, injustice and wrongful act. It is verbal noun that signifies the occurrence of an action or a state without association with a tense of time; therefore, it is situational. The fact that the Members of Galaxy were so selected and existed in Abstract Realm before (فَبَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِيِّــۧنَ) they were given existence in the physical realm. They were thus born with intrinsic identity of great and exalted over other creation. It is made explicit by mention of biography of some members of this Galaxy
فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَٟٓئِكَـةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٚ يُصَلِّـى فِـى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ
His prayer was accepted whereby the Angels called upon him (Zakaria alai'his'slaam), while he was standing for As-sa'laat Time Bound Protocol of Servitude and allegiance, in the Secluded Chamber —
أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّـرُكَ بِيَحْيَـىٰ
That, "Indeed, Allah the Exalted congratulates you with good news of Yahya —
مُصَدِّقَـاۢ بِكَلِمَةٛ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ
He will be an affirmer and testifier; this news conveyed to you is with the word- promise of Allah the Exalted.
وَسَيِّدٙا وَحَصُورٙا وَنَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .٣٩
And he will be honoured as distinguished dignitary and encircled by people in attendance; and at birth would be Elevated-Chosen Servant , one of the distinguished righteous".
It is again mentioned
يـٟزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّـرُكَ بِغُلَٟمٛ ٱسْـمُهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ
"O Zakaria! Indeed Our Majesty are conveying you good news of a son, his name is Yahya —
لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ سَـمِيّٙا .٧
Our Majesty have not declared in foretimes this cognition of name to anyone for his sake."
Upon receiving gladdening information of son named Yahya and his exalted stature at birth, he could not resist inquisitiveness, a natural urge in such circumstances, and enquired for further information.
قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّـىٰ يَكُونُ لِـى غُلَٟمٚ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِىَ ٱلْـكِـبَـرُ وَٱمْرَأَتِـى عَاقِرٚۖ
He said "My Sustainer Lord! I am curious to know how a boy- male child would take existence for me in circumstances while old age has already overtaken me to its extremity; and further my wife is infertile?"
قَالَ كَذَٟلِكَ ٱللَّهُ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ .٤٠
He the Exalted conveyed; "Exactly in the same circumstances it will happen as promised. Allah the Exalted does innovatively- new and creative—unprecedented whatever that He desires and decides."
It is indicated that his extreme old age was not the handicap and the handicap suffered by his wife was rectified/cured
وَزَكَرِيَّآ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ
And mention about Zakaria when he called his Sustainer Lord —
رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِـى فَرْدٙا وَأَنتَ خَيْـرُ ٱلْوَٟرِثِيـنَ .٨٩
"My Sustainer Lord, do leave me not in the state of a solitary individual, while the fact remains that You are the best of the inheritors."
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ
Whereupon Our Majesty responded for him, and We bestowed for him Yahya —
وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُۥ زَوْجَهُۥٓ
And Our Majesty perfected—cured for him his wife .
The other two exclusive features - attributes of the life after birth of the member of said Galaxy were
يـٟيَحْيَىٰ خُذِ ٱلْـكِـتَٟبَ بِقُوَّةٛۖ
"O Yahya! You hold the Book implementing it with firmness".
وَءَاتَيْنَـٟهُ ٱلْحُكْـمَ صَبِيّٙا .١٢
And earlier Our Majesty had given him the faculty of distinguishing wisdom, decision power, while he was still a child —
The childhood of another two members of the Galaxy, i.e. Iesma'eile and Yusuf is also mentioned in the Discourse that reflects they were bestowed wisdom and decision power very early to keep their lives spotless of any blame or shame- worthy instance.
The fact that the Members of this Galaxy are endowed this exalted characteristic since birth is explicit from another mentioned instance
وَبَشَّـرْنَٟهُ بِإِسْحَٟقَ نَبِيّٙا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٟلِحِيـنَ .١١٢
And Our Majesty delighted him (Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam) with the news of Ies'hauq to be born as Elevated and Chosen Allegiant, one of the distinguished Perfectionists.
The son was born in similar circumstances
وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ قَآئِمَةٚ فَضَحِكَتْ
While his wife was standing , Hearing the news of a son she laughed,
فَبَشَّـرْنَـٰـهَا بِإِسْحَٟقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسْحَٟقَ يَعْقُوبَ .٧١
Thereat, Our Majesty had given her the good news of Ies'hauq and after Ies'hauq grandson Ya'qoob .
قَالَتْ يَٟوَيْلَتَىٰٓ ءَأَلِدُ وَأَنَا۟ عَجُوزٚ وَهَـٟذَا بَعْلِـى شَيْخٙاۖ
She exclaimed; "how serious a thing for me! Will I give birth to a child while I am aged woman and this, my husband, is in very old stage.
إِنَّ هَـٟذَا لَشَىْءٌ عَجِىبٚ .٧٢
Indeed this would certainly be a strange, unheard, amazing phenomenon."
It is further explained
فَأَوْجَسَ مِنْـهُـمْ خِيفَةٙۖ
Thereat, (finding them not taking food) he felt the perception of slight apprehension from them (without exhibiting on face) —
قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْۖ
They said, "Please be not apprehensive —
وَبَشَّـرُوهُ بِغُلَٟمٛ عَلِيـمٛ .٢٨
And they gave him the good news of birth of a highly knowledgeable son.
فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِـى صَرَّةٛ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا
Sequel to listening this, his wife came in face to face in a contracted/wrapped state, immediately realizing having reflexively entered, feeling shy she covered her face with hand—
وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيـمٚ .٢٩
And said, "An old barren woman! "
قَالُوا۟ كَذَٟلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ
They replied to her, "This will happen in this condition; because, Madam, this has been said by the Sustainer Lord of you —
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْحَكِيـمُ ٱلْعَلِيـمُ .٣٠
Indeed He the Exalted is Infinitely Just Supreme Administrator of the created realms; the Fountain and Setter of knowledge - science of visible and invisible domains.".
