Ø And [mention, O Muhammad], when
Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ]
said, "Indeed, I will make you a leader(Imam) for the people."
[Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [ Allah ] said, "My
covenant does not include the wrongdoers(Zalimeen)."

His Messenger and those who believe, establish prayers and pay the zakat
while they are bowing in prayer."

Ø And We made them Imams who
guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and
the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they
serve;

guide by Our command when they were patient, and they were certain of
