P. 171

Allah informs us that a number of prophets

                      lived during the same period. For example, the
                      Prophet Aaron (pbuh) supported his brother, the
                      Prophet Moses (pbuh), in his struggle with
                      Pharaoh and in relaying the Divine message to the
                      Children of Israel. The Prophet Jacob (pbuh) and
                      the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) also were honored by
                      Allah with prophethood during the same period.
                          The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and the
                      Prophet Lot (pbuh) lived in the same region.

                      Although they lived among different people, they
                      still supported one another. Our Lord reveals that:
                          He [Abraham] said: "You have adopted idols
                          apart from Allah as tokens of mutual affec-
                          tion in this world. But then, on the Day of
                          Resurrection, you will reject one another and
                          curse one another. The Fire will be your shel-
