- Prophets of the Israeli branch:
Allah made prophecy and the Book in the descendants of Abraham and his grandson Jacob, peace and blessings be upon them, and it is most likely that the third person pronoun in His saying: {in their descendants} [Al-Hadid: 26] refers to Abraham and Jacob. The basis for this is what we have previously determined regarding the branches of the two branches of prophecy from the Ibrahimic tree: the Israeli branch (the branch of Israel "Jacob" and his sons), and the Ismaili branch (the branch of Ishmael and his sons).
Prophecy continued in the branch of Allah’s Prophet Israel and his sons for a number of centuries; Allah sent many prophets to the children of Israel. The first of them is the Prophet of Allah, Israel himself (peace be upon him), who was a prophet to his children, then his son, the Prophet of Allah, Joseph (peace be upon him), then the other prophets from the children of Israel, such as Musa, Aaron, David, Solomon, Zechariah, and John, and the last of them is Jesus, son of Mary, peace and blessings be upon him.
- The seal of prophecy in the Ismaili branch:
Allah sealed prophecy in the Israeli branch with Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him). He is the last of the prophets of the children of Israel, whom Allah created miraculously, without a father, and many miracles appeared at his hands.
Allah wanted to seal all prophecy with a prophet from the branch of Ishmael (peace be upon him), who is the best of all creation, the master of the first and the last, and the seal of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
