And We bestowed to him (i.e. to Ibrahim) Is-haaq and Ya’qoob; We guided all of them. And We guided Nooh before them, and from his (Ibrahim’s) descendants; Dawood, and Sulaymaan, and Ayyoob, and Yusuf, and Moosa and Haroon; and this is the way We reward the virtuous. And (We guided) Zakariyya, and Yahya, and ‘Eisa and Ilyaas; they are all worthy of Our proximity. And (We guided) Isma’eel, and Yasa’, and Yunus and Loot; and to each one during his time, We gave excellence over all others.
