Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Ibrahim's Admonition of His FatherAllah, the Exalted, tells His Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ,وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتَـبِ إِبْرَهِيمَ(And mention in the Book, Ibrahim.) "Recite this to your people who are worshipping idols and mention to them what happened with Ibrahim, the intimate Friend (Khalil) of the Most Beneficent. These idol worshippers (Arabs) are his descendants and they claim to follow his religion. Inform them that he was a truthful Prophet.
