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)
