Ibrahim's Emigration, the Test of the Sacrifice of Isma`il, and how Allah blessed Him
Allah tells us that after He helped His close friend Ibrahim, peace be upon him, against his people, and after Ibrahim gave up hoping that they would ever believe despite all the mighty signs that they had witnessed, he emigrated away from them, and said:
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ - رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ الصَّـلِحِينِ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
He said: رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ (0 my Lord, bless me with a righteous son."- 100). His prayer was answered and Allah Ta’ ala gave him the good news of the birth of a son.
