114.
The prayer of Abraham for the forgiveness of his father was only because of a
promise which he had made to him, but when it had become clear unto him that
he (his father) was an enemy to Allah he (Abraham) disowned him. Lo! Abraham
was soft of heart, forbearing.

Commentary
Surah Maryam (Chapter
Mary) of Holy Qur’aan had been revealed during the stay
at Makkah. In it; it was described that Abraham (peace be upon Him)
caused to understand His father with proofs that he should give up
idol-worshiping. But His father denied. Moreover, he threatened to Abraham
(peace be upon Him) in these words: If you (peace be upon Him) talked so; then
I shall punish you (peace be upon Him) severely. I don’t bear your living at my
home. Get out, I wish to get rid of you.
Abraham (peace be upon Him)
said with sorrow to His father: O.K. I am going. Now; only it is in my power
that I should pray for you before Allah Almighty to guide you, so that you
believe. And your previous errors and sins are forgiven due to belief.
Listening to this story, some
Muslims began to pray also for forgiveness of their idolater parents and
relatives. In the previous verse, the Messenger of God Almighty and common
Muslims (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) were prevented to
do so. And it was commanded: While they deserve the Hell-fire because of
disbelieving, then you should not pray for their forgiveness. Abraham (peace be
upon Him) prayed for His idolater father due to a reason, which has been
mentioned in this verse.
It is commanded: Abraham (peace
be upon Him) prayed for His father’s forgiveness due to the reason that at the
time of leaving His home, He promised with His father! I shall pray from my
Lord for forgiveness of your errors and sins. It aimed that He (peace be upon
Him) would pray for showing the way of guidance to His father and he should
believe, and by doing so, his sins might be forgiven.
But when he {father of Abraham
(peace be upon Him)} died on infidelity; then He (peace be upon Him) knew that
the Belief was not in his luck. After that, He (peace be upon Him) did never
draw His attention towards His father and nor prayed for his forgiveness.
Therefore, while you have known
from clear proofs that certainly a person is fuel of the Fire of the Hell then
you should not pray for his forgiveness. Make over his matter to Allah, the
Most Merciful of the Merciful. And get ready to sacrifice your lives and wealth
in obedience of God Almighty.
