Prophet Harun (Aaron) - in the Quran

Harun (Aaron) is an important figure in Islam and is recognized as a prophet and messenger of God. He is the older brother of Prophet Musa (Moses) and is mentioned in the Quran multiple times.

According to Islamic tradition, Harun was chosen by God to assist his younger brother Musa in spreading the message of monotheism and leading the Children of Israel out of Egypt. Harun was known for his wisdom and good character, and he played a crucial role in guiding the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness.

In the Quran, Harun is mentioned in several chapters, including Al-Baqarah, Al-A'raf, Ta-Ha, and Maryam. He is also mentioned in many hadiths, or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and is highly respected by Muslims as a prophet and a righteous person.


Here are the Quran chapter and verse numbers that mention Prophet Harun (Aaron):

Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 248

"And their Prophet (Samuel) said to them: Verily! The sign of His Kingdom is that there shall come to you At-Tabut (a wooden box), wherein is Sakinah (peace and reassurance) from your Lord and a remnant of that which Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron) left behind, carried by the angels. Verily, in this is a sign for you if you are indeed believers."

This verse mentions Prophet Harun along with his brother Prophet Musa, and refers to a wooden box containing remnants left behind by the two brothers.

Surah Al-A'raf, Verse 122

"And We made the Children of Israel to pass over the sea, then they came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idols; they said: O Musa! Make for us a god as they have (their own) gods. He said: Surely you are a people acting ignorantly."

This verse mentions Prophet Musa and the Children of Israel, but also alludes to Prophet Harun who was with Musa during their journey.

Surah Ta-Ha, Verses 29-36

"Go, you and your brother, with My signs, and do not slacken in remembering Me. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. Speak to him in a gentle way; perhaps he may be reminded or fear (Allah). They said: Our Lord! Indeed, we are afraid that he will hasten to harm us or transgress against us. He said: Fear not, indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see."

These verses mention Prophet Harun along with his brother Prophet Musa, and refer to their mission to speak to Pharaoh.

Surah Ta-Ha, Verses 42-50

"Go, you and your brother, with My signs and do not slacken in My remembrance. Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. But speak to him with gentle speech; perhaps he may be reminded or fear (Allah). They said: Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress. He (Allah) said: Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see."

These verses are similar to the previous ones mentioned, but are slightly different in wording.

Surah Al-Mu'minun, Verse 45

"Then We sent Musa and his brother Harun, with Our signs and a clear authority."

This verse mentions both Prophet Musa and his brother Prophet Harun, and refers to their mission to spread the message of Islam.

Surah Maryam, Verses 51-53

"And mention in the Book, Musa. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a Messenger and a Prophet. And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him]. And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet."

These verses mention both Prophet Musa and his brother Prophet Harun, and refer to Harun as a prophet who was given to Musa as a gift from Allah.

Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 48

"And verily We left a blessing therein (i.e. Madyan) for them (i.e. for the coming generations), so We left it (a source of) blessing for them (i.e. the coming generations of his offspring), and (thus) the mountains and birds declared: "Glorified be Allah! Truly, we have been the first to submit ourselves to Allah (in Islam)."

This verse mentions the blessings that Allah left for the coming generations of Prophet Shu'ayb, who was a prophet of Allah sent to the people of Madyan. Though Harun is not directly mentioned in this verse, some scholars interpret that he was one of the righteous offspring of Shu'ayb and hence, this verse could be indirectly related to him. However, this interpretation is not widely accepted.

Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 251:

"And if Allah had not repelled some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty."

This verse refers to the story of Prophet Dawud and Goliath, where Allah helped Dawud to defeat Goliath and protect the holy places from destruction.

Surah Sad, Verses 17-19:

"And We did certainly give David from Us bounty. [We said], "O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]." And We made pliable for him iron, [Commanding him], "Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Seeing."

These verses mention the blessings that Allah bestowed upon Prophet Dawud, including the gift of psalmody, the ability to speak to animals, and the knowledge of crafting armor.

Surah An-Naml, Verse 15:

"And We had certainly given to David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, "Praise [is due] to Allah, who has favored us over many of His believing servants."

This verse mentions the knowledge that Allah bestowed upon Prophet Dawud and Prophet Sulayman (Solomon), and their gratitude to Allah for these blessings.

Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 78:

"And Dawud and Sulayman, when they gave judgment concerning the field, when the people's sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night; and We were witnesses to their judgment."

This verse refers to the story of Prophet Dawud and Prophet Sulayman, who were known for their just judgments and were appointed as rulers over the Israelites by Allah.

Surah Saad, Verses 17-20:

"And the birds assembled; all were obedient to him (Dawud). We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and eloquent speech."

These verses mention the obedience of birds to Prophet Dawud, and the blessings that Allah bestowed upon him, including the gift of wisdom and eloquence.

Surah Al-Israa, Verse 55:

"And your Lord is most knowing of whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And We have made some of the prophets exceed others [in various ways], and to Dawud We gave the book [of Psalms]."

This verse mentions the distinction that Allah gave to some prophets over others, and how Prophet Dawud was given the book of Psalms.

Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 27:

"And We bestowed upon him (Dawud) wisdom and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains to exalt [Us], along with David and [also] the birds. And We were doing [that]."

This verse mentions the blessings that Allah bestowed upon Prophet Dawud, including the gift of wisdom and knowledge, and the obedience of mountains and birds to him.

These are all the Quran chapter and verse numbers that mention Prophet Dawud.
