According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the concept of Dhurriyyah (الذرية), or descendants, represents a cornerstone of Quranic theology concerning legacy, covenant, and the generational transmission of faith. While linguistically referring to progeny, its Quranic application, as analyzed by authorities like Al-Tabari, emphasizes a spiritual and covenantal lineage over mere biology. Ibn Kathir's tafsir across numerous verses highlights that divine blessings and leadership, while often channeled through prophetic lines such as that of Prophet Ibrahim, are not guaranteed by blood. The pivotal verse 2:124 establishes this principle, where Allah's covenant excludes the unjust among Ibrahim's descendants. This theme is woven through supplications of prophets praying for righteous offspring (14:40), the pre-eternal covenant with all of humanity's descendants (7:172), and the ultimate promise of reuniting faithful families in Paradise (52:21). This synthesis reveals Dhurriyyah not as an automatic inheritance of status, but as a divine trust and responsibility, where the righteousness of each generation determines its fulfillment of the divine covenant.
