التوبة

وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَن مَّوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ ۚ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَأَوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ 114

      People have asked:ِ ``why should have ABRAHAM asked forgiveness for his father, when he threatened him of stoning'' :ِ

      ``O, ABRAHAM! Do you really hate my gods? If you desist not I will stone you. Now you get away and leave me.''

QURÄNِS 19:46

      In answering such a question the above verse (NO.114) states that, ABRAHAM'S plea was only for a promise he had made to him because he still hoped him to leave the idols and adhere to the true and Only one God.

      ABRAHAM was a tender- hearted and kind to all creatures. When he made sure that his father would not believe, he abandoned him and went away, and did not returned to him at all.
