Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) – The Leader of Mankind and Allah’s Promise.

 

Learn how Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) became the leader of mankind, Allah’s promise to his descendants, and the importance of righteousness in leadership.

📖 Surah Al-Baqarah (2:124)

Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) was so beloved to Allah (SWT) that whenever he was tested with trials, he fulfilled them with complete obedience.

Allah’s Promise to Ibrahim (A.S.)

One day, Allah (SWT) said:

🔹 "O Ibrahim, I am going to make you the leader of all mankind."

Without hesitation, Ibrahim (A.S.) asked:

🔸 "O Allah, what about my descendants? Will you make them leaders too?"

Allah (SWT) responded:

🔹 "My promise is not for the wrongdoers. Leadership will be given only to the pious and God-fearing among your offspring."

This divine promise meant that all prophets after Ibrahim (A.S.) were chosen from his lineage, fulfilling Allah’s words.
