Transliteration:( Wa wahabnaa lahoo mir rahmatinaaa akhaahu Haaroona Nabiyyaa )
"And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother, Aaron [91], a Prophet."
This verse highlights that Hazrat Harun (عليه السلام) was granted Prophethood as a mercy from Allah in response to the supplication of his brother, Hazrat Musa (عليه السلام).
This teaches us the immense rank and spiritual power of Allah's beloved servants. The fact that a Prophet like Harun (عليه السلام) was made such through the prayer of Musa (عليه السلام) shows how divine favors are unlocked through the intercession and duas of the righteous.
From this we learn:
The blessings acquired through the prayers of Allah’s close friends can surpass even the wealth of kings.
If a person gains children, health, or worldly success through their dua, it is not surprising—it is a sign of Allah's mercy channelled through the pious.
Hence, turning to the righteous for prayer is not only permissible but a means of receiving divine mercy, as evidenced by this Qur'anic verse.
