Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : The Mighty and Majestic says:

and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein

والذي أوحينا إليك وما وصينا به إبراهيم وموسى وعيسى أن أقيموا الدين ولا تتفرقوا فيه

[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]

This verse brings together five of the messengers. Count them for us? Where are you? Yes, how? Where are you?
There is no god but Allah! Some people are present with their bodies but not with their hearts! Yes?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Where is the mention of Muhammad?
The student:

And that which We have revealed to you

والذي أوحينا إليك

[Fatir 35:31]

The Shaykh :

And that which We have revealed to you

والذي أوحينا إليك

[Fatir 35:31]

By the address, who is being addressed by the "you" here? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Well done. These are five of the messengers, and they are mentioned together in another verse of the Qur'an. Who will recite it for us? Please.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Well done.

And [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary

وإذ أخذنا من النبيين ميثاقهم ومنك ومن نوح وإبراهيم وموسى وعيسى بن مريم

[Al-Ahzab 33:7]

And they are not mentioned together in any verse except in these two verses. These five are the resolute ones among the messengers, according to the majority of the scholars of knowledge.

So be patient, [O Muhammad], as were those of determination among the messengers and do not be impatient for them. It will be - on the Day they see that which they are promised - as though they had not remained [in the world] except an hour of a day. [This is] notification. And will [any] be destroyed except the defiantly disobedient people?

فاصبر كما صبر أولوا العزم من الرسل ولا تستعجل لهم كأنهم يوم يرون ما يوعدون لم يلبثوا إلا ساعة من نهار بلاغ فهل يهلك إلا القوم الفاسقون

[Al-Ahqaf 46:35]

and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein

وما وصينا به إبراهيم وموسى وعيسى أن أقيموا الدين ولا تتفرقوا فيه

[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]
