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.
