Prophet Ibrahim: The Honored one

Prophet Ibrahim: The Honored one

Prophet Ibrahim (‘alayhissalam) is the great patriarch of all Abrahamic religions. All the Prophets who came after him descended from him via Ishaaq and Ya‘qoob, apart from Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam), who descended from Ismaa‘eel ibn Ibrahim.

So Ibrahim (alayhissalam) is the father of the Arabs and the forefather of the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam) in terms of descent. Because of this, Prophet Ibrahim (‘alayhissalam) is the single most respected human being on the face of this earth because every single major religion of this world 🌍looks up to him. He was so honorable💠 that the previous nations fought over him and argued that they had more right over him. But Allah says, refuting the Jews and the Christians: “Ibraheem (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth✅, a Muslim [submitting to Allah ]. And he was not of the polytheists. [Aal ‘Imraan 3:67].

Ibrahim (alaihissalam) was the father of the Arabs and the father of the Israelites, and he called people to pure Tawheed, and when the Jews and the Christians claimed to be his followers, Allah (SWT) taught our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam) and hence the world in its entirety that the only ones who have a right to claim attribution to Ibrahim (‘alayhissalam) are the Muslims; the ones who are his true followers. Allah Ta’ala says: 👉“Indeed, the most worthy of Ibrahim among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah ] and this prophet (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam), and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers. ” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:68].

Allah, Master of the World🌍, uses the term “Millat – Ibrahim” (the religion/way of Ibrahim) for Islam – the religion of Believers, throughout the Qur’an. He (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) says👉: “Say, “Indeed, my Lord has guided me to a straight path – a correct religion – the way of Ibrahim, inclining toward truth. And he was not among those who associated others with Allah .” [Al An’aam 6:161]

He also says👉: “And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Ibrahim. Allah named you “Muslims” before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people👨‍👩‍👦👨‍👧👨‍👧‍👦👨‍👧‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. 

So establish prayer 🤲and give zakah 💰and hold fast 🤍 to Allah. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.” [Al Hajj 22:78]

Alhamdulillahi Rabbi Al A’alameen 

for this amazing blessing! He has certainly blessed us by giving us this claim to Ibrahim (‘alayhissalam).

 Let us not take this gift for granted. Let us stick to Tawheed and stay far away from Shirk and all that leads us to it.

May Allah guide us to be true followers and gather us with our dear Prophets Ibrahim and Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wa Sallam) in the highest levels of Jannah so that we can sit with them and discuss how amazed we were at the lives that they lived! 

Ameen ya Rabbul Alamin

Imad hussain and  sharja Siddiqui. 

Jazak Allah Khair.
