وَإِذِ
ابْتَلَى
إِبْرَاهِيمَ
رَبُّهُ
بِكَلِمَاتٍ
فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ
قَالَ
إِنِّي
جَاعِلُكَ
لِلنَّاسِ
إِمَامًا
قَالَ
وَمِن
ذُرِّيَّتِي
قَالَ
لَا
يَنَالُ
عَهْدِي
الظَّالِمِينَ

When his Lord tested Abraham's faith, (by His words) and he satisfied the test, He said, "I am appointing you as the leader of mankind." Abraham asked, "Will this leadership also continue through my descendants?" The Lord replied, "The unjust do not have the right to exercise My authority."
