THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
right-acting. And Ishmael, Elisha, Jonah and Lot. All of
them We favoured over all beings. And some of their
forebears, descendants and brothers; We chose them
and guided them to a straight path. That is Allah's
guidance. He guides by it those of His slaves He wills...
(Surat al-An'am: 83-88)

That Allah granted superior attributes to the prophets is
expressed precisely in the verse above. There are many other
examples narrated in the Qur'an and the verses below inform us
of the superior traits granted to the various prophets:
Abraham was a community in himself. (Surat an-
Nahl: 120)
And remember Our slaves Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, men of true strength and inner sight. (Surah
Sad: 45)
In Our eyes they are among the best of chosen men.
(Surah Sad: 47)
We gave knowledge to David and Solomon who
said, 'Praise be to Allah who has favoured us over
many of His slaves Who are believers…' (Surat an-
Naml: 15)
The Prophet Jesus (as) is also one of the chosen prophets of
Allah. Allah states the following about him:

These Messengers: We favoured some of them over
others. Allah spoke directly to some of them and raised
up some of them in rank. We gave clear Signs to Jesus,
son of Maryam, and reinforced him with the Purest
Spirit. (Surat al-Baqara: 253)
