Quran 2:129 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Ibrahim's Supplication that Allah sends the Prophet
Allah mentioned Ibrahim's supplication for the benefit of the people of the Sacred Area ( to grant them security and provision ), and it was perfected by invoking Allah to send a Messenger from his offspring.
This accepted supplication, from Ibrahim, conformed with Allah's appointed destiny that Muhammad be sent as a Messenger among the Ummiyyin and to all non-Arabs, among the Jinns and mankind.
Hence, Ibrahim was the first person to mention the Prophet to the people.
Ever since, Muhammad ﷺ was known to the people, until the last Prophet was sent among the Children of Israel, Jesus the son of Mary, who mentioned Muhammad by name.
Jesus addressed the Children of Israel saying,
إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَمُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِن بَعْدِى اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ
( I am the Messenger of Allah unto you, confirming what is before me in the Tawrah, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad ) ( 61:6 )
This is why the Prophet said ,
«دَعْوَةُ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبُشْرَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَم»
( The supplication of my father Ibrahim and the glad tidings brought forth by Jesus the son of Mary. )
The Prophet said,
«وَرَأَتْ أُمِّي أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا نُورٌ أَضَاءَتْ لَهُ قُصُورُ الشَّام»
( My mother saw a light that went out of her and radiated the palaces of Ash-Sham. )
It was said that the Prophet's mother saw this vision when she was pregnant with, narrated this vision to her people, and the story became popular among them.
The light mentioned in the Hadith appeared in Ash-Sham ( Greater Syria ), testifying to what will later occur when the Prophet's religion will be firmly established in Ash-Sham area.
This is why by the end of time, Ash-Sham will be a refuge for Islam and its people.
Also, Jesus the son of Mary will descend in Ash-Sham, next to the eastern white minaret in Damascus.
The Two Sahihs stated,
«لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ وَلَا مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِك»
وفي صحيح البخاري
«وَهُمْ بالشَّام»
( There will always be a group of my Ummah who will be on the truth, undeterred by those who fail or oppose them, until the command of Allah comes while they are on this. )
Al-Bukhari added in his Sahih, ( And they will reside in Ash-Sham. )
The Meaning of Al-Kitab wal-Hikmah
Allah said,
وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَـبَ
( and instruct them in the Book ) meaning, Al-Qur'an,
وَالْحِكْــمَةِ
( and Al-Hikmah ) meaning, the Sunnah, as Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Muqatil bin Hayyan and Abu Malik asserted.
It was also said that `Al-Hikmah', means `comprehension in the religion', and both meanings are correct.
`Ali bin Abi Talhah said, that Ibn `Abbas said that,
وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ
( and purify them ) means, "With the obedience of Allah."
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ
( Verily, You are the Mighty, the Wise ).
This Ayah stated that Allah is able to do anything, and nothing escapes His ability.
He is Wise in His decisions, His actions, and He puts everything in its rightful place due to His perfect knowledge, wisdom and justice.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:129) Lord, raise up from among them a Messenger who shall recite Your Revelations to them and teach them the Book and Wisdom and purify their lives. *128 You art All-Powerful and AllWise". *129
Our Lord, and send among them a meaning
*128).
The term 'purification' used here embraces the purification of beliefs and outlook, morals, habits and customs, and social, cultural and political life; the purification of man's life in its totality.
*129).
This has been said in order to indicate that the advent of Muhammad ( peace be on him ) was in fact God's response to the prayer of Abraham ( peace be on him ).

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Our Lord! ) O our Lord ( And raise up in their midst ) the offspring of Ishmael ( a Messenger from among them ) from their own lineage ( who shall recite unto them Your revelations ) the Qur’an, ( and shall instruct them in the Scripture ) the Qur’an ( and in wisdom ) the lawful and the prohibited ( and shall make them pure ) from sins through the declaration of the Oneness of God. ( Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty ) Who is vengeful against whosoever does not answer Your Messenger whom You sent to them, ( the Wise ) in sending the Messenger. And Allah answered his prayers and sent unto them Muhammad ( pbuh ); and these are the words with which Allah tried him, and he fulfilled them by asking Allah for them in his prayer.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
"Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed Allah answered their invocation by sending Muhammad Peace be upon him), who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Quran) and Al-Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophethood, etc.), and sanctify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
