اختيار الأنبياء Choosing of the Prophets -as وَ اصْطَفَى سُبْحَانَهُ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ أَنْبِيَاءَ أَخَذَ عَلَى الْوَحْيِ مِيثَاقَهُمْ‏ وَ عَلَى تَبْلِيغِ الرِّسَالَةِ أَمَانَتَهُمْ ‘And the Glorious Chose Prophets -as from his -as children and Took their -as Covenant upon the Revelation and their -as entrustments upon the delivery of the Message.

لَمَّا بَدَّلَ أَكْثَرُ خَلْقِهِ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ فَجَهِلُوا حَقَّهُ وَ اتَّخَذُوا الْأَنْدَادَ مَعَهُ وَ اجْتَالَتْهُمُ‏ الشَّيَاطِينُ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ اقْتَطَعَتْهُمْ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ When most of His -azwj creatures replaced the Pact of Allah -azwj to them, they ignored His -azwj Right and took the rival gods with Him -azwj , and the Satan -la turned them away from recognising Him -azwj , and cut them off from worshipping Him -azwj .

فَبَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رُسُلَهُ وَ وَاتَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ لِيَسْتَأْدُوهُمْ مِيثَاقَ فِطْرَتِهِ وَ يُذَكِّرُوهُمْ مَنْسِيَّ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ يَحْتَجُّوا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالتَّبْلِيغِ وَ يُثِيرُوا لَهُمْ دَفَائِنَ الْعُقُولِ وَ يُرُوهُمْ آيَاتِ الْمَقْدِرَةِ مِنْ سَقْفٍ فَوْقَهُمْ مَرْفُوعٍ وَ مِهَادٍ تَحْتَهُمْ مَوْضُوعٍ وَ مَعَايِشَ تُحْيِيهِمْ وَ آجَالٍ تُفْنِيهِمْ وَ أَوْصَابٍ‏ تُهْرِمُهُمْ وَ أَحْدَاثٍ [تَتَتَابَعُ‏] تَتَابَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ So, He -azwj Sent His -azwj Rasools -as among them and His -azwj Prophets -as at intervals, in order to get them to fulfil the Covenant of their nature, and remind them of His -azwj forgotten Bounties, and they -as argued upon them with the preaching and to provoke them to unveil the intellects, and show them the Signs of the Power, from the ceiling (sky) above them Raised above them, and the cradle (earth) Placed beneath them, and livelihood for their lives, and terms (death) to annihilate them, ailments aging them, and events pursuing them consecutively.

وَ لَمْ يُخْلِ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ خَلْقَهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ أَوْ كِتَابٍ مُنْزَلٍ أَوْ حُجَّةٍ لَازِمَةٍ أَوْ مَحَجَّةٍ قَائِمَةٍ رُسُلٌ لَا تُقَصِّرُ بِهِمْ قِلَّةُ عَدَدِهِمْ وَ لَا كَثْرَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ لَهُمْ مِنْ سَابِقٍ سُمِّيَ لَهُ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ‏ أَوْ غَابِرٍ عَرَّفَهُ مَنْ قَبْلَهُ Allah -azwj the Glorious did not Keep them devoid of a Sent Prophet -as , or a Revealed Book, or a necessitated Divine Authority, or an established Manifesto, such Rasools -as whose fewness of their -as numbers and the abundance of their -as falsifiers did not make them deficient.
