The Holy Quran 4:54 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ ۖ فَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ ءَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مُّلْكًا عَظِيمًا

Translation

Indeed We gave to the family of Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام the Book (many divine scriptures) and wisdom (Prophethood in their lineage) and We had given them a mighty kingdom (such as the kingdoms of Dawood عليه الصلاة والسلام and Sulaymaan عليه الصلاة والسلام).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
