Those are the Messengers, We have given the privilege to some of them upon others, among them is someone to whom Lord Allah spoke directly, some among them He raised high in ranks, and We have given Jesus-the son of Maryam-clear Signs and We have to Strengthen him with the Holy Spirit; if Allah had wished, the people who came after them wouldn’t have fought against one another once clear Signs had come to them. However, they disagreed. Then among them is the one who believed and among them is the one who disbelieved; if Allah had wished, they wouldn’t have fought one another, but indeed Allah does what He Intends.
Before revealing this verse, some verses had been revealed explaining about the Messengers before. It is told in verse 40: 78: “We have sent Messengers before you, among them is the one We have explained upon you, while among them is one We haven’t explained to you; no Messenger can bring any sign unless it is with Lord’s Permission, once Lord’s command comes, matters will be decided with the Truth, and the falsehood makers will loss out”. It is told in verse 4: 164: “And to Moses Lord did speak directly”.
Believers should glorify Lord and pray to Him immediately on awakening from the sleep: “Glory is to you Oh the Lord of Jibreel, Michael, Israfeel, Azrael, the Creator of heaven and earth, the only Knower of the seen and unseen, our Lord and the Lord of everything, and the Dealer of its Dominion, we seek refuge unto You from the evils of every creature, of whom You hold the forelocks. On the Day of Judgment, You will judge among Your servants in what they are differing, so You guide us into the Straightpath with Your Permission Adhikr in what they are different in the Book, Indeed, none is there to guide except You”. See explanation 2: 62, 176, 213, and 7: 143.
