    • Shaheen International

    269. Allah Almighty selected Hazrat Ibrahim (On whom be peace) for prophethood, for sublime status and for being the father of prophets. It should be remembered that his selection is not due to these acts, but it is due to this selection that these actions were performed by him. This is because prophethood is not a thing which can be acquired, but it is bestowed upon those chosen by Allah almighty. It is for this reason that the letter FE is not used with IJTABAHO.

    270. This means Allah Almighty had provided him with guidance from his childhood so that at no stage of his life did he commit a sin. This does not mean that (May Allah forbid) at first he was on the wrong path then Allah Almighty guided him to the straight path. Therefore the Holy QUR'AAN, prior to the mention of guidance, has clarified: "And he was not a polytheist".
