Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaque and Yaqoob and on his son and what was given to Moses and Christ and what
was given to the rest of the prophets from their Lord: we do not differentiate between any of them in the
matter of faith and we have submitted ourselves to Allah.
137. Then if they believe too, as you have believed then they are guided, and if they turn back their faces, then they are but in total schism. So, O beloved, prophet! Soon Allah will suffice you on behalf of them. He is alone

who were guided by Allah. And it does not behave Allah that He might waste your faith: Verily Allah is very
Kind and Merciful to human beings.
