[67] In ﴿ذُرِّيَّتهِمَا﴾, the dual pronoun can refer to Sayyiduna Ibrahim ؑ and Sayyiduna Isma'il ؑ, or to Sayyiduna Isma'il ؑ and Sayyiduna Ishaq ؑ. From them, two great nations emerged: one, the descendants of Isma'il, and the other, the descendants of Israel. Among the descendants of Isma'il, only the Last Prophet was sent, while among the descendants of Israel, countless prophets were raised. And both good and bad people existed among these two nations.
