Quran 29:27
No, this verse **does not** mean that prophethood is exclusive to the Jews or that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) cannot be a prophet. The verse you are referring to (**Quran 29:27**) speaks about the lineage of **Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim, peace be upon him)**, mentioning that prophethood and scripture were given to his descendants—which include **Isaac (Ishaq), Jacob (Yaqub), and their progeny**, such as **Moses (Musa), David (Dawud), Solomon (Sulaiman), Jesus (Isa), and others** (peace be upon them all).
However, **Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is also a descendant of Abraham**—through his son **Ishmael (Ismail)**. The Quran makes it clear that prophethood was **not limited to the Children of Israel** (Jews) but was a continuation of Allah’s message to all humanity.
### **Key Points from the Quran:**
1. **Prophet Muhammad is from the lineage of Abraham**
- *"Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of 'Imran over the worlds—descendants, some of them from others."* (**Quran 3:33-34**)
- The Arabs (including Prophet Muhammad) are descendants of **Ishmael (Ismail)**, Abraham’s first son.
2. **Prophethood is not exclusive to Jews**
- The Quran mentions earlier prophets sent to **non-Israelite nations**, like:
- **Hud** (sent to the people of 'Ad)
- **Salih** (sent to Thamud)
- **Shuayb** (sent to Midian)
- *"And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger..."* (**Quran 16:36**)
3. **Muhammad is the Final Prophet for All Humanity**
- *"And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind."* (**Quran 34:28**)
- *"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets."* (**Quran 33:40**)
### **Conclusion**
The verse (**29:27**) highlights prophethood in the lineage of Isaac and Jacob (Jewish prophets), but **it does not exclude other prophets**, including those from Ishmael’s line (like Muhammad). Islam teaches that Allah sent messengers to **all nations**, and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet for **all of humanity**, completing the chain of divine guidance.
