واذ ابتلى ابراهيم ربه بكلمات فاتمهن قال اني جاعلك للناس اماما قال ومن ذريتي قال لا ينال عهدي الظالمين

And remember that Abraham Was tried by his Lord With certain Commands, Which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee An Imām to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imāms) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise Is not within the reach Of evil-doers."
