Prophet Abraham - 14:11 "And their messengers said to them: "Surely we are human beings like you. But Allah chooses whom He wills from among His servants and bestows favor upon him. It is impossible for us to bring you a certificate of authority without Allah´s permission. Believers should trust in Allah."
"Allah chooses whom He wills of His servants and bestows favor upon him": Lutuf?
The Cow/2:89 And when a Book came to them from the Presence of Allah confirming what was with them, what they were expecting, they disbelieved in it, although they expected help against the disbelievers. May Allah´s curse be on the disbelievers!
The Cow/2:90 Woe to those who sell their personalities to disbelieve in what Allah has sent down, not despising that Allah sends down His bounty to whom He wills of His servants! So they incurred wrath upon wrath. For the disbelievers is a humiliating torment.
The Cow/2:91 "When it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has sent down,"they say, "We believe in what has been sent down to us,"and deny what follows. But this is the truth confirming what is with them. Say, "Why did you kill the messengers of Allah before, if you believed?"
The Cow/2:253 And We favored some of those messengers more than others, for example, with some Allah spoke, and with some He raised them in degrees. We gave clear proofs to Jesus son of Mary and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Had Allah willed, those who came after them would not have quarrelled with one another after clear proofs had come to them. But they differed. Some believed and some disbelieved. Had Allah willed, they would not have fought one another. But Allah does what He wills.
