Al-Baqarah 2:124 ۞ واذ ابتلى ابراهيم ربه بكلمات فاتمهن قال اني جاعلك للناس اماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي الظالمين ١٢٤
۞ وَإِذِ
ٱبۡتَلَىٰٓ
إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ
رَبُّهُۥ
بِكَلِمَٰتٖ
فَأَتَمَّهُنَّۖ
قَالَ
إِنِّي
جَاعِلُكَ
لِلنَّاسِ
إِمَامٗاۖ
قَالَ
وَمِن
ذُرِّيَّتِيۖ
قَالَ
لَا
يَنَالُ
عَهۡدِي
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
