The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

Lord. Indeed, Allah revealed
that this great blessing will be
imparted to those who fear (and
respect) Him:

O you who believe. If you fear [and re-
spect] Allah, He will give you discrimina-
tion, erase your bad actions, and forgive you.
Allah's favor is indeed immense. (Surat al-
Anfal: 29)
The superior qualities with which our Lord
endowed the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) enabled
him to wage a most effective and rational struggle
against his pagan society. As a result, he and his

followers prevailed.
Truth and choosing what is right are very important
characteristics of believers. Our Prophet (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) constantly reminded his follow-
ers of them, as the few examples given below show:
Worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him …
speak the truth. 8

Let whoever is pleased that Allah and our Prophet love him al-
ways tell the truth. 9
To whomsoever Allah wills good, He gives true understand-
ing (of religion). 10

Truth leads to piety, and piety leads to Paradise. A man
persists in speaking the truth until Allah enrolls him as a
truthful man. Falsehood leads to vice, and vice leads to the
Fire (Hell). A person goes on telling a lie until Allah enrolls
him as a liar. 11
