Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ وَنُوحًا وَءَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَءَالَ عِمْرَٰنَ عَلَىٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 33

  ذُرِّيَّةًۢ بَعْضُهَا مِنۢ بَعْضٍ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ 34

34.  They were descendants one of another. And Allah is Hearer, Knower.

34.  Zurriy-yatam-  ba’-zuhaa  mim-ba’-z.  Wallaahu  Samii-‘un  ‘Aliim.

Commentary

 ‘Aala-‘Imraana – (Family of Imran), two famous persons named Imran have passed away in the history. One was father of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) named Imran bin Baseer. The second (many centuries later) was father of Mary (razii Allaahu ‘anhaa), named Imran bin Matan, maternal grandfather of Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). Here both persons may be inferred. Most scholars and philosophers have considered here the second Imran, because there is description about him in the succeeding verses of this Surah (chapter). 

‘Aa-dama – (Adam), Allah Almighty created the earth, the heavens and the entire universe with His vast Divine Power. His biggest creature is Adam (peace be upon him), who was made a collection of many spiritual and corporeal excellence. Allah Almighty ordered the Angels (peace be upon them) to prostrate unto Adam; for telling dignity of his existence to the universe. He was chosen for prophet-hood. Later on it (Prophet-hood) was given to Prophet Shiis and Noah (peace be upon them) respectively. Then it reached Messenger Abraham (peace be upon him) step by step. After Adam and Noah (peace be upon them), the people who remained in this world, they all were descendants of these two Prophets (peace be upon them). Then Allah Almighty selected Prophet Abraham and his family to bestow them the grade of Prophet-hood like Adam and Noah (peace be upon them) and the Prophets (peace be upon them), came after them, they all were from the lineage of two sons of Abraham (peace be upon him) i.e. Isaac and Ishmael (peace be upon them).  

Zurriy-yatam-  ba’-zuhaa  mim-ba’-z – (They were descendants one of another), order of genealogy runs through the side of father. Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was born without father. So it might be thought that he (peace be upon him) could not be counted from the lineage of Abraham (peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah Almighty informed by revealing the words Zurriy-yatam-  ba’-zuhaa  mim-ba’-z that these entire Prophets (peace be upon them) were descendants one of another. Because Imran, the father of Mary was from the race of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them). Consequently, it proved that no Prophet is out of the family of Abraham (peace be upon them).    

By describing Samii-‘un  ‘Aliim, it is pointed out that Allah Almighty is Hearer of the entire supplications and sayings. He knows hidden and outward circumstances of all. He is Aware of everything. He is Knower about reality and characteristics of all persons. Therefore, His selection can never be incomplete or false.
