VERSES NO. 84 -87

      Here a part of God's favour bestowed upon ABRAHAM is mentioned as his virtuous, fruitful sons and his righteous progenies.

      The reverence and respect of ABRAHAM'S sons was not merely because they were the sons of an arch prophet of God. They were rather honoured for their own exalted personality, virtues, righteousness, and besides that; they too, were apostles themselves.

      Through these verses a list is given in which 18 apostles of God in three main group have been named.

      1) The first group consist of; David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron, who are all apostles and preachers of truth, besides which they were kings and rulers over the nations too. Perhaps, this is why they are titled by the verses, (No. 84) `the rewarded good- doers' They certainly had excellent conduct, and observed justice and piety throughout their fruitful lives. They were the real founders and establishers of the Jewish monarchy.

      2) The second group consists of; Zacharia, John, Jesus, and Elias. They too were all prophets, and preached the truth and Godfearing, but they were examples in ascetisim, self- denial, and lived solitary lives, avoiding material rank, wealth and pleasures. The epithet given them here, (No. 85) is; the righteous.

      3) The third group consisting of Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah, and Lot were emigrant apostles, for being concerned in the clashes of nations and are titled as; `men exalted and favoured above all nations.'
