Ismail (Ishmael)
[2.124] And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with certain words, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I
will make you an Imam of men. Ibrahim said: And of my offspring? My covenant does not
include the unjust, said He.
[2.125] And when We made the House a pilgrimage for men and a (place of) security, and:
Appoint for yourselves a place of prayer on the standing-place of Ibrahim. And We enjoined
Ibrahim and Ismail saying: Purify My House for those who visit (it) and those who abide (in it)
for devotion and those who bow down (and) those who prostrate themselves.
[2.126] And when Ibrahim said: My Lord, make it a secure town and provide its people with
fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the last day. He said: And whoever disbelieves, I will
grant him enjoyment for a short while, then I will drive him to the chastisement of the fire; and
it is an evil destination.
[2.127] And when Ibrahim and Ismail raised the foundations of the House: Our Lord! accept
from us; surely Thou art the Hearing, the Knowing:
[2.128] Our Lord! and make us both submissive to Thee and (raise) from our offspring a nation
submitting to Thee, and show us our ways of devotion and turn to us (mercifully), surely Thou
art the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful.
[2.129] Our Lord! and raise up in them an Apostle from among them who shall recite to them
Thy communications and teach them the Book and the wisdom, and purify them; surely Thou
art the Mighty, the Wise.
[2.130] And who forsakes the religion of Ibrahim but he who makes himself a fool, and most
certainly We chose him in this world, and in the hereafter he is most surely among the
righteous.
[2.131] When his Lord said to him, Be a Muslim, he said: I submit myself to the Lord of the
worlds.
[2.132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely
Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims.
[2.133] Nay! were you witnesses when death visited Yaqoub, when he said to his sons: What
will you serve after me? They said: We will serve your God and the God of your fathers,
Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq, one God only, and to Him do we submit.
[2.134] This is a people that have passed away; they shall have what they earned and you shall
have what you earn, and you shall not be called upon to answer for what they did.
[2.135] And they say: Be Jews or Christians, you will be on the right course. Say: Nay! (we
follow) the religion of Ibrahim, the Hanif, and he was not one of the polytheists.
[2.136] Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that
which was revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that
which was given to Musa and Isa, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their
Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.
[3.67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim,
and he was not one of the polytheists.
[3.68] Most surely the nearest of people to Ibrahim are those who followed him and this
Prophet and those who believe and Allah is the guardian of the believers.
[3.84] Say: We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed
to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and what was given to Musa
and Isa and to the prophets from their Lord; we do not make any distinction between any
of them, and to Him do we submit.
[11.69] And certainly Our messengers came to Ibrahim with good news. They said: Peace.
Peace, said he, and he made no delay in bringing a roasted calf.
[11.70] But when he saw that their hands were not extended towards it, he deemed them
strange and conceived fear of them. . They said: Fear not, surely we are sent to Lut's people.
[11.71] And his wife was standing (by), so she laughed, then We gave her the good news of
Ishaq and after Ishaq of (a son's son) Yaqoub.
[11.72] She said: O wonder! shall I bear a son when I am an extremely old woman and this
my husband an extremely old man? Most surely this is a wonderful thing.
[11.73] They said: Do you wonder at Allah's bidding? The mercy of Allah and His blessings
are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious.
[11.74] So when fear had gone away from Ibrahim and good news came to him, he began to
plead with Us for Lut's people.
[11.75] Most surely Ibrahim was forbearing, tender-hearted, oft-returning (to Allah):
[11.76] O Ibrahim! leave off this, surely the decree of your Lord has come to pass, and surely
there must come to them a chastisement that cannot be averted.

[14.35] And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! make this city secure, and save me and my sons
from worshipping idols:
[14.36] My Lord! surely they have led many men astray; then whoever follows me, he is surely
of me, and whoever disobeys me, Thou surely arc Forgiving, Merciful:
[14.37] O our Lord! surely I have settled a part of my offspring in a valley unproductive of fruit
near Thy Sacred House, our Lord! that they may keep up prayer; therefore make the hearts of
some people yearn towards them and provide them with fruits; haply they may be grateful:
[14.38] O our Lord! Surely Thou knowest what we hide and what we make public, and
nothing in the earth nor any thing in heaven is hidden from Allah:
[14.39] Praise be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Ismail and Ishaq; most surely my Lord
is the Hearer of prayer:
Verses on the Sacrifice:
[37.102] And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
[37.103] So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
[37.104] And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
[37.105] You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
[37.106] Most surely this is a manifest trial.
[37.107] And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
[37.108] And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
[37.109] Peace be on Ibrahim.
[37.110] Thus do We reward the doers of good.
[37.111] Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
[37.112] And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
[37.113] And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
[37.114] And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
[37.115] And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
[37.116] And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
[37.117] And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
[37.118] And We guided them both on the right way.
[37.119] And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
