 24. According to Quran which of the two families were considered as "the best families" in the whole world?

Answer: اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفٰۤى اٰدَمَ وَنُوْحًا وَّاٰلَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَاٰلَ عِمْرٰنَ عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ‏ [3:33]. Allah chose Adam (AS), Nuh (AS), the family of Ibrahim (AS) and the family of Imran above the nations. [3:33]. This verse was revealed when 60 Christian delegates from Najran visited Madhina.

Allah chose Adam (AS), created him with His Hand and blew life into him. Allah commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam (AS), taught him the names of everything and allowed him to dwell in Paradise, but then sent him down from it out of His wisdom.

Allah chose Nuh (AS) and made him the first Messenger to the people of the earth, when the people worshipped idols and associated others with Allah in worship. Allah avenged the way Nuh (AS) was treated, for he kept calling his people day and night, in public and in secret, for a very long time. However, his calling them only made them shun him more, and this is when Nuh (AS) supplicated against them. So Allah caused them to drown, and none among them was saved, except those who followed the religion that Allah sent to Nuh (AS).

Allahuthala also chose the house hold of Ibrahim (AS) by giving them:

● He selected them and guided them in a right path.

● made them pious and work righteousness.

● provided them good provision in plenty with Our Mercy

● purified them and gave good manners;

●made them patient and enduring;

●made to fulfill the command of Allahuthala;

● repent and ask forgiveness

● When the Verses of Allah were recited unto them, they fell down, prostrating and weeping;

● they enjoined on their family and people As-Salath and the Zakath,

● gave Prophet hood to many of his offspring. Ismail (AS), Ishaq (AS), Yaqub (AS), Yusuf (AS), Ayyub (AS), Musa (AS), Harun (AS) and the Final Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

● taught the Scriptures;

● through some Allah revealed Scriptures;

● granted them honour in both the worlds;

● his Lord was pleased with most of them;

● promised Adn Paradise (everlasting Gardens) and made them enter and lived forever.

● Apart from these known Prophets there are so many righteous people from the family were selected to guide jinn and human kind and send them all to teach deen and reform the world.

 

Allah also chose the household of Imran, his wife, his daughter, Marium bint Imran, the mother of Isa (AS).

★ the wife of 'Imran vowed to Allah her child in her womb to be dedicated for His services (3:35);

★ but she delivered a female child and named her Marium and sought refuge with Allah for her and for her offspring from Shaitan, the outcast. (3:36);

★ Allah accepted her with goodly acceptance. (3:37);

★ Allah made her grow in a good manner under the care of Zakariya and Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit. (3:38);

★ Allah purified and chosen her above the women of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (3:42);

★ Commanded to submit herself with obedience to Allah, by worshipping none but Him Alone and prostrating and bowing down (3:43);

★ the angels gave her the glad tidings of Messiah Isa the son of Marium who was created by a Word "Be!" - and he was! i.e. (Mary)] from Him, a name held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allah."

★"He will speak to the people in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous." (3:46);

★ taught him the Book and Al-Hikmah, the Taurath and the Injeel (3:48);

★ And made him ['Isa (AS)] a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allah's Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe; And I have come confirming that which was before me of the Taurat (Torah), and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you, and I have come to you with a proof from your Lord. So fear Allah and obey me”; Truly! Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him (Alone). This is the Straight Path. (3: 49 to 51)

★ Allah raised him you to Himself and make clear  [of the forged statement that 'Isa (AS) is Allah's son] to those who disbelieve, and those who followed him superior than those who disbelieve till the Day of Resurrection. (3:55);

★ the likeness of 'Isa (AS) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. (3:59).
