Commentary
‘Aala-‘Imraana – (Family of Imran), two famous persons named Imran have passed away in the history.
One was father of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) named Imran bin Baseer. The
second (many centuries later) was father of Mary (razii Allaahu ‘anhaa), named Imran
bin Matan, maternal grandfather of
Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). Here both persons may be inferred. Most
scholars and philosophers have considered here the second Imran, because there is description about him in the succeeding
verses of this Surah (chapter).
‘Aa-dama – (Adam), Allah
Almighty created the earth, the heavens and the entire universe with His vast
Divine Power. His biggest creature is Adam (peace be upon him), who was made a collection
of many spiritual and corporeal excellence. Allah Almighty ordered the Angels
(peace be upon them) to prostrate unto Adam; for telling dignity of his
existence to the universe. He was chosen for prophet-hood. Later on it (Prophet-hood)
was given to Prophet Shiis and Noah
(peace be upon them) respectively. Then it reached Messenger Abraham (peace be
upon him) step by step. After Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), the people
who remained in this world, they all were descendants of these two Prophets
(peace be upon them). Then Allah Almighty selected Prophet Abraham and his
family to bestow them the grade of Prophet-hood like Adam and Noah (peace be
upon them) and the Prophets (peace be upon them), came after them, they all
were from the lineage of two sons of Abraham (peace be upon him) i.e. Isaac and
Ishmael (peace be upon them).
Zurriy-yatam- ba’-zuhaa
mim-ba’-z – (They were descendants one of another), order of genealogy
runs through the side of father. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was born
without father. So it might be thought that he (peace be upon him) could not be
counted from the lineage of Abraham (peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah
Almighty informed by revealing the words Zurriy-yatam- ba’-zuhaa
mim-ba’-z that these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were
descendants one of another. Because Imran,
the father of Mary was from the race of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them).
Consequently, it proved that no Prophet is out of the family of Abraham (peace
be upon them).
By describing Samii-‘un ‘Aliim, it is
pointed out that Allah Almighty is Hearer of the entire supplications and
sayings. He knows hidden and outward circumstances of all. He is Aware of
everything. He is Knower about reality and characteristics of all persons.
Therefore, His selection can never be incomplete or false.
