Surat Maryam (57-58)

{وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَاناً عَلِيّاً} (مريم: 57)

57- We raised his status and mention.

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) saluted him in the fourth sky when he ascended to heavens as was reported in Sahih Al Bukhari.

{أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَمِمَّنْ حَمَلْنَا مَعَ نُوحٍ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِمَّنْ هَدَيْنَا وَاجْتَبَيْنَا إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُ الرَّحْمَن خَرُّوا سُجَّداً وَبُكِيّاً} (مريم: 58)

58- Those are the people whom Allah bestowed favors upon them and raised their status among humans from the prophets who are the descendant of Adam like: Enoch and Noah and of their offspring whom We made to survive with Noah like: Abraham. And from the offspring of Abraham such as Ishmael, Isaac, and Jacob. And from the children of Jacob such as: Moses, Aaron, Zachariah, Jonah, and Jesus. Those are the people whom We guided to the truth and chose for prophethood. When they heard the words of Allah which detail His Signs and Power, they hastened to prostrate themselves before their lord. Their hearts submitted to His Mention and their eyes flowed with tears out of fearing Him in admittance of servitude to Him.
