He built the K?'bah in the most deserted place, but it became the most attractive places all over the earth.
He was all alone in the desert when he called out, then there arrived answers from throughout the world: "And proclaim among men the Pilgrimage."(1) He left out his thirsty little child there by the command of Allah, then the water of Zamzam gushed and flowed for ever.
He greeted before the threat of his idolatrous uncle: "He said: 'Peace be upon you, …".(2) Then Allah sent greeting to him when He said: "Peace be on Abraham"(3) Abraham was a single person, but today all the heavenly schools relate themselves to Abraham, in a manner that some pagans, the Jews, and the Christians say that Abraham belongs to them. The people of his time were his enemy, while Allah chose him as His friend.
The Qur'an says: "And Allah took Abraham as a Friend."(4) 1- Sura Al-Hajj 2- Sura Maryam, No. 19, verse 47 3- Sura As-Saffat, No. 37, verse 109 4- Sura An-Nisa', No.
When Abraham (a.s.) withdrew from those arrogant idol worshippers and went toward the Holy Land, Allah bestowed on him Isaac as his son, and Jacoob as his grandson, and He comforted him from the pain and of separation of his relatives by bestowing children on him and ornamenting them with the rank of prophethood.
Besides children and prophethood, Allah also bestowed on him some other bounties and caused them to be honoured among people so that their good names were mentioned respectfully by all people. The adherents of all religions love Abraham and his progeny so that they pray for them and consider them the followers of their own religion.
