Surah 29:27
"And We granted him Isaac and Jacob, and We placed among his descendants the prophetic office and the Book. We gave him his reward in this world, and in the Hereafter he will indeed be among the righteous."
Lineage of Prophets and Messengers
Opposing Verses
Surah 16:36 → "Certainly We have raised up in every community a messenger (saying): ‘Serve God and avoid al-Ṭāghūt!’ (There were) some of them whom God guided, and some whose going astray was deserved. Travel the earth and see how the end was for the ones who called (it) a lie."
Does the Quran state that prophets were sent to every community or that prophethood was restricted exclusively to the descendants of Abraham? Some verses indicate that a messenger was raised in every community, while others state that the prophetic office was placed among Abraham's descendants.
