ARBA ÎN NUMBER THREE III It will be similar to the foundation laid down through Abrahamas. That is why God gave me the name 'Abraham' in Barāhīn-e- Ahmadiyya, as He said: سَلَامٌ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَافَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلَّى قُلْ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ That is, peace be on Ibrāhīm [Abraham] (that is, on this humble one); We forged a sincere friendship with him and delivered him from every grief. You who follow him, make your place of Prayer at Abraham's station; that is, be completely obedient [to him], so that you may receive sal- vation. Then God said: 'Say: “O my Lord! Do not leave me alone and You are the Best of inheritors!"" This reve- lation indicates that God will not leave me alone, and like Abraham, He will give me a large progeny, and many will receive blessings from this progeny. When He said: وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَهِمَ مُصَلَّى ! It is a verse of the Holy Quran. Here, it means: Follow this Abraham who has been sent for the ways you worship and for the ways you believe, and mold yourself in his model in everything. 1. Sūrah al-Baqarah, 2:126 [Publisher]
