Commentary
Messenger Abraham (peace be
upon him) is busy in supplications before The Lord. He remembered his Lord’s
(Allah’s) those particular favors which He graced upon him (peace be upon him).
He (peace be upon him) remembers them and says: If I do not pray from You then
from whom I should? Certainly; You hear the prayers and fulfill requirements of
the people. I had been old and did not have any child. I prayed from You that I
should not be left childless. You heard my supplication and during my old age,
You gave – not only one but two sons, named Ishmael and Isaac (peace be upon
them).
Then there was no doubt that
indeed You hear prayers of Your servants and grant them. Therefore, I have
produced myself in Your Court, and pray to make this township blessed. Land of
this region does not produce any crop. While irrespective of apparent causes,
You bestowed son like Isaac (peace be upon him) to me, the old man, whose wife
is also old, then it is not difficult for You to provide fruits for food of
inhabitants of this barren and droughty land, and guide them to be thankful to
You.
It seems after reciting these
prayers of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) that it is also one elegance out
of prayer’s respects that by remembering previous favors, one should be
thankful, and having regard for those kindness, one should ask about more
favors.
