وَإِذِ ابتَلىٰ إِبراهيمَ

ۖ 124a. |

124a. And when his Lord tested Abraham with certain words,
and he fulfilled them. He said, “I am making you a leader of humanity.” |
Abraham, every person knows about the name of this great respectable Prophet (Peace be upon him). He was most glorious grandfather of our Prophet, the Last Messenger of God, Muhammad (ﷺ). His native land was Babel and His father’s name was Aazar. From His Children; two races were grown, one from the Children of Prophet Isaac (Blessings on him) and the other from the Children of Prophet Ishmael (Blessings on him). The Prophets from the first lineage are called Israeli Prophets (Blessings on them), for example Prophets Solomon, David, Moses and Jesus (Blessings on all of them) etc. From the second lineage (Ishmaeli), there was only one; our Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) is called the grandfather of the Prophets (Blessings on them). Besides the Muslims, all others, like the Children of Israel and the Christians give full respect to him also.
God examined this Prophet (Blessings on him) by many trials. For example, Sculptor and Idolater father threatened to drive him out from his house, his nation frightened to banish from the Country and the King threw him into fire but he remained steadfast on the right path and didn’t refrain from Islam. Then God commanded that he should leave his wife (Hagar) and son (Ishmael) (Peace be upon them) in the forest and sacrifice his son also. He obeyed all such orders too. Besides these trials, he (Blessings on him) was tried by some more tests and he succeeded in all.
This leadership of Prophet Abraham (Blessing on him) was not only for spiritual and religious guidance but God blessed him with betterment in politics also. He (Peace be upon him) became a real leader and priest in his times. The People accepted his leadership. https://youtu.be/FM4ed6Ia2mQ
