Islam as the Ultimate Goal of Religious Teachings 145 Those who believe and mix not up their belief with injustice—it is they who shall have peace, and who are rightly guided. And that is Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We exalt in degrees of rank whomso We please. Your Lord is indeed Wise, All-Knowing. And We gave him Isaac and Jacob; each did We guide aright, and Noah did We guide aright aforetime, and of his progeny, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward those who do good. And We guided Zachariah and John and Jesus and Elias; each one of them was of the virtuous. And We also guided Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot; and each one did We exalt above the people. And We exalted some of their fathers and their children and their brethren, and We chose them and We guided them in the straight path. (S u rah al-An‘ a m; Ch. 6: Vs. 83-88)
