The surah that records the prayer of Abraham for the security and perpetual godliness of the barren valley of Mecca, when, at God’s command, he settled his beloved wife Hagar and first son Ishmael there, in order to establish the perennial rites of the prayer, as well as other forms of worship, for all time on earth. It is named after Abraham, whose prayer appears in verse 35 ff. Throughout the surah the ungrateful are condemned, and the grateful commended. Abraham also asks that he and his descendants may be protected from idol-worship. This serves to remind the Meccans that they should shun the worship of idols.

٣٥ - اور جب ابراہیم نے دعا کی کہ میرے پروردگار اس شہر کو (لوگوں کے لیے) امن کی جگہ بنا دے۔ اور مجھے اور میری اولاد کو اس بات سے کہ بتوں کی پرستش کرنے لگیں بچائے رکھ .
[14:35] And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this city [Makkah] secure and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols.

٣٦ - اے پروردگار انہوں نے بہت سے لوگوں کو گمراہ کیا ہے۔ سو جس شخص نے میرا کہا مانا وہ میرا ہے۔ اور جس نے میری نافرمانی کی تو تُو بخشنے والا مہربان ہے .
[14:36] My Lord, indeed they have led astray many among the people. So whoever follows me - then he is of me; and whoever disobeys me - indeed, You are [yet] Forgiving and Merciful.

٣٧ - اے پروردگار میں نے اپنی اولاد کو میدان (مکہ) میں جہاں کھیتی نہیں تیرے عزت (وادب) والے گھر کے پاس لابسائی ہے۔ اے پروردگار تاکہ یہ نماز پڑھیں تو لوگوں کے دلوں کو ایسا کر دے کہ ان کی طرف جھکے رہیں اور ان کو میوؤں سے روزی دے تاکہ (تیرا) شکر کریں .
[14:37] Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful.
