“Although Ibrahim and Ismael (PBT) were Muslims having submitted to Allah (SWT), yet they were praying to Him to make them and their descendents submissive to Him, submissive probably referring to their own future. This shows that we too should keep praying to Allah (SWT) to keep us and our descendents established on Islam. They further prayed to Allah (SWT) for showing them the right ways of devotion to Him and to turn to them mercifully invoking His Attributes of acceptance of repentance and mercy.”
