The argument now proceeds on the line of ABRAHAM the champion of MONOTHEISM, and the constructor of the Cubic House of God, KAABA. It is also about the importance of this focus of point of Monotheism, which is now a days, a universal center of worship for all Islamic the world. Such matters have been discussed through eighteen verses which follows from hereafter. The said verses serve a three fold purposes.

      1) An introductory and plot laying for the change of QIBLA.

      2) The people of the book claim to rely and depend thoroughly upon ABRAHAM, while they feel full of rancour against Islam, which is complete submission to the Will of God, this was the most loved and adhered to by ABRAHAM, who laid the foundation of Monotheism. These verses show how far they are from what they claim to be near it!

      3) The pagan Arabs too who had turned to idolatry and polytheism, claimed the same thing - that HAZRAT ABRAHAM was their progenitor through Ishmael, and of course both of the parties are right in their claims, for, indeed HAZRAT ABRAHAM and his son ISHMAEL THE SACRIFICE, together built the House of God in Mecca, long before the temple of JERUSALEM was built.

      (The Israelites too, are indeed the offspring of HAZRAT ABRAHAM through his son ISAAQ.)

      In the following verses, the greatest phases and aspects of ABRAHAM'S life and its most important events are discussed in some details; beginning thus:

      ``And call to mind when the Lord tried and tested ABRAHAM with certain words, (COMMANDS) which he fulfilled all in the best of ways. And after his success in the examination Allah said to him: ``I am going to make you an IMAM for the people. ABRAHAM pleaded; and what about making Imams from my offspring? God answered him: ``I don't promise that for the oppressors and wrong doers of them.''

      The above verses denotes that Imamat, (LEADERSHIP) is a higher rank and position than prophethood.

      When HAZRAT ABRAHAM got the glad-tidings of being an Imam, and was promised the leadership of the world, he was so excited with happiness, that he pleaded the high position of Imamat for his progeny; and his prayer was granted with the limitation that those among his offspring who were Godless and oppressors; would not have it.
