Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He said:
And We granted him وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ
[Al-'Ankabut: 27] after Ismail
Isaac and Jacob إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ
" The gift means giving without reward or without compensation, and everything that Allah bestows upon His servants is a bestowal from Him without compensation,
Isaac and Jacob إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ
after Isaac "
And Allah made Jacob a gift to Ibrahim because he was his grandson, and it will come to us, if Allah wills, in the benefits that in this is evidence that the grandfather is a father, because Allah made the son of the son a gift to his grandfather,
and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture وَجَعَلْنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَابَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:27]
Descendants of whom? Of Ibrahim, and here the pronoun deviated from the rule, returning to the first mentioned, whereas the norm is that the pronoun returns to the nearest mentioned, but it may deviate from this rule according to the context, as in His saying, the Exalted:
and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمينَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِي هَذَا
[Al-Hajj: 78]
He. هو
To whom does it return? To Allah, not to Ibrahim, even though Ibrahim is the nearest mentioned, and His saying:
and placed in his descendants prophethood وَجَعَلْنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:27]
He placed the prepositional phrase, which is the adverb, before the modified noun, which is prophethood and the Book, as an indication of restriction, and for this reason the scholars said: " There is no prophet after Ibrahim except that he is from the descendants of Ibrahim " And Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) is nicknamed the Father of the Prophets, and We made prophethood in his descendants, so all the prophets after Ibrahim are from his descendants
And the Book وَالْكِتَابَ
meaning the Books, so it is singular but the generic is intended, meaning the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the Criterion " The Torah was revealed to Musa, the Gospel to 'Isa, the Psalms to Dawud, and the Criterion to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him),
And We gave him his reward in this world وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
[Al-'Ankabut 29:27]
and it is the good praise in all the people of the religions "
and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous. وَإِنَّهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ لَمِنِ الصَّالِحِينَ
[Al-'Ankabut: 27]
We gave him آتيناه
We gave him, so it takes two objects, one of which is the pronoun in
We gave him آتيناه
and the second:
His reward أجرَه
, and His saying:
his reward in this world أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
[Al-'Ankabut 29:27]
The reward is the compensation; the compensation for a thing is called a reward, and from it is the wage, which is compensation for the worker for his work, and His saying:
his reward in this world أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا
[Al-'Ankabut 29:27]
What is his reward in this world? Do we say that it is what the author said, the good praise in all the religions, or is it broader than that? The correct answer is that it is broader than that, from the delight of his eyes with his children and their spread and multitude, and also the good praise; all the religions claim to belong to him and want to be from him, and for this reason Allah the Exalted said:
Abraham was neither a Jew مَا كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا
[Ali 'Imran 3:67]
As the Jews claimed
Nor a Christian وَلا نَصْرَانِيًّا
As the Christians claimed
but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. وَلَكِنْ كَانَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
[Al-Imran: 67] Then Allah the Exalted judged between the groups and said:
Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَذَا النَّبِيُّ
[Ali 'Imran 3:68]
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)
and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers. وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
[Al-Imran: 68], and His saying:
And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous. وَآتَيْنَاهُ أَجْرَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ لَمِنِ الصَّالِحِينَ
[Al-'Ankabut: 27] The lam in His saying:
Among the righteous لَمِن الصالحين
is for emphasis, so the sentence is emphasized by
Indeedإنَّ
and the lam, and His saying:
The righteous الصالحين
meaning those who have the high ranks, and the intended meaning here is the highest types of the righteous, and they are the prophets or the messengers, because Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) is from the five resolute ones, and they are Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him), Musa, 'Isa, and Nuh, and His saying:
Among the righteous لَمِن الصالحين
When the righteous comes alone, it includes all four types, and they are the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and Allah knows best
