The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)





                       the Almighty, the All-Wise. ( Surat al-Mumtahana:5)
                       Our Lord. Forgive me and my parents and the believers
                       when the Reckoning takes place. (Surah Ibrahim: 41)

                       He also asked for a godly heir to keep the religion alive af-
                  ter him:
                       My Lord, bestow on me a right-acting child. ( Surat as-
                       Saffat: 100)

                       and prayed for his line:
                       My Lord. Make me and my descendents people who per-
                       form prayer. My Lord. Accept my prayer. (Surah Ibrahim:
                       40)
                        When Abraham said: "My Lord. Make this land a place of
                         safety, and keep me and my sons from worshipping
                             idols." (Surah Ibrahim: 35)

                                   He prayed to Allah to make the city in which
                                he lived a safe place and to provide the believers
                                     with fruits:
                                         And when Abraham said: "My Lord,
                                           make this a place of safety and pro-
                                            vide its inhabitants with fruits—all
                                             of them who believe in Allah and
                                              the Last Day." He [Allah] said: "I
                                                 will let anyone who becomes
                                                     an unbeliever to enjoy him-
