Surah 19. Maryam, Ayah 58
| أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَا ۚ إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَٰنِ خَرُّوا سُجَّدًا وَبُكِيًّا ۩ |
| Transliteration | : | 'olaa'ika 'alladhena ancama 'allaah calay -him min an- nabeyen min dhurreyah 'aadam wa- min man h.amalnaa maca noh. wa- min dhurreyah 'ibraahem wa- 'israa'el wa- min man hadaynaa wa- ijtabaynaa 'idhaa tutlaa calay -him 'aayaat ar- rah.maan kharro sujjad(an) wa- bukey(an) |
| Pickthall | : | These are they unto whom Allah showed favor from among the Prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping. |
| Asad | : | THESE WERE some of the prophets upon whom God bestowed His blessings - [prophets] of the seed of Adam and of those whom We caused to be borne [in the ark] with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel43 : and [all of them were] among those whom We had guided and elected; [and] whenever the messages of the Most Gracious were conveyed unto them, they would fall down [before Him], pros-trating themselves and weeping.44 |
| Malik | : | These are some of the Prophets on whom Allah bestowed His favors from among the descendants of Adam and of those whom We carried in the Ark with Nuh, and of the descendants of Ibrahim and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Revelations of the Compassionate (Allah) were recited to them, they fell to prostrate and weep. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace of the posterity of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose; whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears. 2509 2510 |
Note - 43Whereas the Hebrew prophets, whose line ended with Jesus,
descended from Abraham through Isaac and Israel (Jacob),
Muhammad traced his descent from the same patriarch
through the latter's first-born son, Ishmael.
|
Note - 44I.e., all of the prophets were conscious of being no more
than mortal, humble servants of God. (See also 32:15.)
|
Note - 2509The earlier generations are grouped into three epochs
from a religious point of view: (1) from Adam to Noah,
(2) from Noah to Abraham, and (3) from Abraham to an
indefinite time, say to the time when the Message of
Allah was corrupted and the need arose for the final
Messenger of Unity and Truth. Israel is another name for
Jacob.
|
Note - 2510The original is in the Aorist tense, implying that the
"Posterity" alluded to includes not only the messengers
but their worthy followers who are true to Allah and
uphold His standard.
