Mary
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[19:51]
AND CALL to mind, through this divine writ, Moses. Behold, he was a chosen one, and was an apostle [of God], a prophet.

* v.51 : The mention of Moses and other prophets in this context serves to reinforce the statement that all of them – like Jesus – were but mortal servants of God whom He had inspired with His message to man (cf. verse 30 above). As regards the distinction between the terms “prophet” (nabī) and “apostle” (rasūl), see the opening clause of 22:52 and the corresponding note 65.
