Muslims have frequently cited Abraham's character as an example of how kind one must be towards people, and especially one's own parents. Despite this, the Qur'an states that Abraham in his later years prayed to God to forgive the sins of all his descendants and his parents. The Quran mentions that Abraham's father threatened to stone his son to death if he did not cease in preaching to the people. The relationship between Abraham and his father, who in the Quran is named Azar, is central to Abraham's story as Muslims understand it to establish a large part of Abraham's personality. Abraham's father is understood by Muslims to have been a wicked, ignorant and idolatrous man who ignored all of his son's advice. Personality and wisdom Ībraham's personality and character is one of the most in-depth in the whole Quran, and Abraham is specifically mentioned as being a kind and compassionate man. Abraham himself is said to have been a descendant of Nuh through his son Shem. Abraham's nephew is said to have been the messenger Lut ( Lot), who was one of the other people who migrated with Abraham out of their community. Abraham had two children, Ishmael and Isaac, who both later became prophets. Muslims maintain that Abraham's father was Aazar ( Arabic: آزَر, romanized: Āzar), which could be derived from the Syriac Athar, who is known in the Hebrew Bible as Terah.
Quranic account and Islamic tradition Family 1 Quranic account and Islamic tradition.Muslims maintain that Abraham further asked God to bless both the lines of his progeny, of Isma'il and Isḥaq ( Isaac), and to keep all of his descendants in the protection of God. Abraham and Isma'il ( Ishmael) further established the rites of pilgrimage, or Ḥajj ('Pilgrimage'), which are still followed by Muslims today. He spiritually purified both places as well as physically sanctifying the houses of worship. Paganism was cleared out by Abraham in both the Arabian peninsula and Canaan. Abraham, in the belief of Islam, was instrumental in cleansing the world of idolatry at the time. Muslims believe that Abraham, also known as Khalilullah (Arabic: خليل الله Trans: friend of God ), became the leader of the righteous in his time and that it was through him that Adnanite- Arabs and Israelites came. The Islamic holy day ' Eid ul-Adha is celebrated in commemoration of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son on God's command, as well as the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to the Kaaba. : 18 Muslims believe that the Kaaba in Mecca was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael as the first house of worship on earth. In this sense, Abraham has been described as representing "primordial man in universal surrender to the Divine Reality before its fragmentation into religions separated from each other by differences in form". The Quran extols Abraham as a model, an exemplar, obedient and not an idolater. As a result of his unwavering faith in God, Abraham was promised by God to be a leader to all the nations of the world. In Muslim belief, Abraham fulfilled all the commandments and trials wherein God nurtured him throughout his lifetime. Abraham plays a prominent role as an example of faith in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
