➋ { عَلٰى عِلْمٍ:} means that We did not choose them without reason, rather We knew their virtues and abilities, and We were also aware of their flaws and weaknesses. It was on the basis of this knowledge that We selected them from among all the nations of their time.
➌ By {عَلَى الْعٰلَمِيْنَ: ’’ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ‘‘} is meant the worlds of their time, not all worlds, because Allah Almighty has declared the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as: «كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ اُمَّةٍ » [ آل عمران : ۱۱۰ ] and thus better than all other nations, because {’’ كَانَ ‘‘} indicates continuity. Yes, there are some partial virtues in the Children of Israel that are unique to them, such as so many prophets being sent among them, but in an overall and comprehensive sense, the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is superior.
