Open in Qurani

Al-Anbiya: 9

{Then We fulfilled the promise to them}

This is like the phrase: “And Moses chose his people” (i.e., from his people). The root of the construction in "the promise" is the same as in: “And from his people” (i.e., min qawmihi).

Examples of this usage include:

  • “They were truthful with them in battle” (meaning: they were truthful to them).
  • “He was truthful to me regarding the age of his young camel.”

{And whom We will}

These are the believers, and those in whose remaining [alive] there is a benefit.


Al-Anbiya: 10

{We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Will you not then use your reason?}
