The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
Was a Pure Servant Who
Always Thought about the

Hereafter

Allah describes the Prophet Abraham
(pbuh) and his line as being pure and always think-
ing of the Hereafter:
And remember Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, men of true strength and inner sight. We pu-
rified their sincerity through sincere remembrance
of the abode [of the Hereafter]. (Surah Sad: 45-46)

One of the fundamental characteristics that distin-
guishes prophets and believers from other people is their
total concentration on earning Allah's good pleasure and His
Paradise, to the exclusion of all worldly concerns. One of the
clearest proofs of this is that they continue to warn their tribes,
with great patience and purity, right up until the end of their
lives.
When performing their good deeds and religious obser-
vances, believers seek only His love, good pleasure, ap-

proval, and friendship. Prophet Muhammad (may Allah
bless him and grant him peace) is the finest example in this
regard, for he never stopped seeking Allah's good plea-
sure, mercy, and Paradise. Allah reveals that the prophets
sent to people as a mercy and a blessing called their
people to live by religion's moral values without ex-
pecting anything in return:

Say: "I do not ask you for any wage for it, nor am I a
man of false pretensions." (Surah Sad: 86)
