And We exalted them over the other people knowingly,
And We knowingly chose them, among all others of their time.
and We chose them, out of a knowledge, above all beings,
and indeed, We chose them knowingly above all other people,
And assuredly We elected them with knowledge above the worlds.
And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamin (mankind, and jinns) [during the time of Musa (Moses)] with knowledge,
And We chose them knowingly over all other people.
We knowingly exalted them (i.e., the Children of Israel) above other peoples of the world
And We chose them above the nations (Al-`Alamin) with knowledge,
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.
Certainly We chose them knowingly above all the nations,
and We chose them, out of a knowledge above the nations (of their time).
And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
We gave preference to the Israelites over the other people with Our knowledge
And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.

And verily I selected the Israelites knowingly over the people of their time, because of their many Prophets.
And verily I selected the Israelites knowingly over the people of their time, because of their many Prophets.
<p>وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْ‌نَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ And We chose them, with knowledge above all the worlds. (44:32)," This does not imply that the Children of Israel are superior to the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ ، because the verse means that the Children of Israel were given superiority over all the people of their time. This is just like the Qur'an has described the merit of Sayyidah Maryam (علیہا السلام) as being superior to the نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ "women of the worlds (3:42) which means that she was superior to the women of her time." It is also possible that the Children of Israel have some sort of superiority to all the people of all times and ages from a particular angle, but collectively the Ummah of the Final Messenger ﷺ holds the highest status. (See Ibn Kathir and other sources for details.)</p><p>عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ "with knowledge" means that every work of Allah has wisdom. Thus wisdom underlying Allah's knowledge dictated that they be granted superiority, and they were granted accordingly.</p>
