[85] Here, the other people referred to are the Muslims, who were gaining ascendancy day by day, while they themselves were becoming more and more humiliated.
[86] By the progeny of Ibrahim is meant all the prophets from Sayyiduna Ibrahimؑ up to the Messenger of Allahﷺ, and the knowledge and wisdom of the Book of Allah remained with these prophets, along with great kingship. For example, Sayyiduna Yusuf, Sayyiduna Dawud, Sayyiduna Sulaiman, peace be upon them, were all kings as well as prophets. The second meaning of this phrase is that the leadership and authority over all the nations of the world has always remained with the progeny of Ibrahim. Although in your time this authority shifted from the Jews to the Muslims, it still remained within the progeny of Ibrahim. It moved from the descendants of Ishaq to the descendants of Ismail, meaning just as previously Allah Almighty had granted the Children of Israel rule, honor, and leadership of the world, now that same grandeur, honor, and rule would be taken from them and granted to the Muslims.
