And We called him from the right side of the mount Tūr (Sinai), and We brought him close to communicate in secret.
۟
And, out of Our mercy, We granted him his brother Hārūn as a prophet.

And mention in the Book (the story of) Ismā‘īl. He was indeed true to his promise, and was a messenger, a prophet.
۟
He used to enjoin Salāh and Zakāh upon his family, and was favourite to his Lord.
۟ۗۙ
And mention in the Book (the story of) Idrīs. He was indeed a Siddīq (man of truth), a prophet.
۟
We raised him to a high place.

Those are the people whom Allah has blessed with bounties, the prophets from the progeny of ’Ādam, and of those whom We caused to board (the Ark) along with NūH, and from the progeny of Ibrāhīm and Isrā’īl (Jacob), and from those whom We guided and selected.

(He is) the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them. So, worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know any one worthy of His name?”
