Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
Surah 2 · Verse 124
And when his Fosterer tried Ibrahim with (some) statements (commands), he fulfilled them. He (Allah) said,”I will make you a leader of mankind.” He (Ibrahim) said, “And from my offspring?” He (Allah) replied, “My agreement does not include the unjust.”
“Prophet Ibrahim (PBH) was made a leader of or model for mankind only after Allah (SWT) had tested him and he had successfully passed all the tests. When Ibrahim (PBH) was informed that he would be made the leader of or model for mankind, he inquired about his off – spring. Allah (SWT) replied that his agreement does not include those who would be unjust among his off-spring. This indicates that a person cannot be accepted as a Momin or Muslim just because of his birth in a Muslim family, he has to prove himself to be a Momin or Muslim as Ibrahim (PBH) did though his father was an idol worshipper.”
