Maryam 19:53

<h2>Mentioning Musa and Harun</h2><p>After Allah had mentioned Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah, and commended him, he next mentioned Al-Kalim (the one spoken to by Allah directly). Allah said,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتَـبِ مُوسَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلِصاً</div><p>(And mention in the Book, Musa.

He said, `That is one who does a deed solely for Allah and he does not like for the people to praise him."' Others recited the word as Mukhlas, which means that he was chosen. This is as Allah says,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">إِنْى اصْطَفَيْتُكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ</div><p>(Verily, I have chosen you above men.) 7:144 Concerning Allah's statement,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَكَانَ رَسُولاً نَّبِيّاً</div><p>(and he was a Messenger, (and) a Prophet.) Allah combined these two descriptions for him. For verily, he was one of the greatest Messengers and one of the five Messengers of Strong Will. They are Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, `Isa and Muhammad. May the blessings of Allah be upon them and all of the Prophets. Allah said,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وَنَـدَيْنَـهُ مِن جَانِبِ الطُّورِ</div><p>(And We called him …

And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet (likewise).

And, out of Our Mercy, We gave him his brother Aaron, (also) a prophet.

And We bestowed on him his brother Harun (Aaron), (also) a Prophet, out of Our Mercy.

And We granted him, out of Our mercy, his brother Aaron, a prophet.
