Al-Emran 33-34
33- ALLAH HAS CHOSEN ADAM, NOAH, THE FAMILY OF IBRAHIM AND THE FAMILY OF EMRAN ABOVE ALL PEOPLE.
34- THE OFFSPRING OF ONE FROM THE OTHER, AND ALLAH HEARS AND SEES ALL THINGS.
Allah the Highest is telling us something important in these two Ayahs. The prophets and messengers, peace upon them, were selected and chosen. They did not wish to be prophets or messengers, but were chosen and selected from mankind. All the prophets and messengers, prayer and peace upon them, were from the descendants of Adam, Noah, Ibrahim and Emran, peace upon them all.
Allah the Highest said: “ALLAH CHOOSES FROM THE ANGELS MESSENGERS AND FROM MANKIND, FOR ALLAH HEARS AND SEES ALL THINGS”. (S: 22 A: 75)
They intermarried also, and from their offspring of these blessed families Allah the Highest choose His prophets and messengers.
This does not mean that all their offspring were believers and righteous. Indeed there were many disbelievers and evil doers. Allah the Highest however choose from the righteous. When Ibrahim, peace upon him, asked Allah to make his offspring leader in faith, Allah the Highest answered him that this was not for the wrong doers “AND AS IBRAHIM WAS TRIED BY HIS LORD WITH CERTAIN COMMANDS WHICH HE FULFILLED, HE (ALLAH) SAID: “I SHALL APPOINT YOU IMAM (LEADER) FOR MANKIND”. HE SAID: “AND OF MY OFFSPRING TOO?” HE (ALLAH) SAID: “MY PROMISE IS NOT FOR THE WRONG-DOERS”. (S: 2 A: 124)
This indicates that there were to be wrong doers in his family who would not qualify for the important mission of prophet hood. Indeed, many of the prophet’s offspring did not believe, like Noah’s son. As for the grand children and great grand children, many did not believe either. All of Mohamed’s family who grow up believed, so did his wives, but not all his cousins and uncles.
