               and difficulties is an example for all believers. His sincere
               prayer for his children is a clear indication of this:
                    "Our Lord, I have settled some of my offspring by Your
                    Sacred House in an uncultivated valley. Our Lord, let
                    them perform prayer. Make the hearts of humanity incline
                    toward them and provide them with fruits, so that, hope-
                    fully, they will be thankful." (Surah Ibrahim: 37)

                    Allah describes the great blessing He has placed on the
               Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) descendents in the following terms:
                    "Accordingly, your Lord will pick you out and teach you
                    the true meaning of events and perfectly fulfill His bless-
                    ing on you, as well as on the family of Jacob, just as He
                    fulfilled it perfectly before upon your forebears Abraham
                    and Isaac. Most certainly, your Lord is Knowing, Wise."
                    (Surah Yusuf: 6)

                    In other verses, Allah reveals the following information
               about this blessed line:
                    We gave him [Abraham] Isaac and Jacob, and placed
                    prophethood and the Book among his progeny. We gave
                    him his reward in this world, and in the Hereafter he will
                    be among the righteous. (Surat al-Ankabut: 27)
                    And remember Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
                    men of true strength and inner sight. We purified their
                    sincerity through sincere remembrance of the abode. In
                    Our eyes, they are among the best of chosen men. (Surah
                    Sad: 45-47)

                    When he [Abraham] separated himself from them and
                    what they worshipped besides Allah, We gave him Isaac
                    and Jacob, making each of them a prophet. We endowed
                    them with Our mercy and made them highly honored.
                    (Surah Maryam: 49-50)
