We've all expressed our opinion and had our share of the argument. Lets take a look at this very carefully, in detail and in depth.
"And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will make you an Imam for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my descendants?" [ Allah ] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
First point, Abraham was tried by his Lord. He was put through a test, a trial. What was the test, the trial? With commands. Which commands or what kind? Allah knows better and best. So what was the result of this test, this trial? Abraham fulfilled those commands. He didn't fall short. In simple words, he passed he succeeded. What happened next? Allah said to Abraham "Indeed, I will make you an Imam for the people".
Now this is where the issue is. Allah said to Abraham that I will make you an Imam of the people. For argument reasons lets say that this was just and only leadership. Allah promised Abraham that he will make him a leader of the people. The whole episode was just ordinary and there was nothing exciting or important here because Abraham was already a Messenger and a Prophet to begin with. So this wasn't something higher or more important.
Lets look at some facts concerning leadership and being a leader. Leaders can be good or bad or anywhere in between. One can classify and categorise leaders in such a way that they can get things wrong, make errors and mistakes or they can be right doers or wrongdoers. All this is attached and connected to just leadership and being a leader.
Now lets move forward on those verses. What did Abraham say to Allah after Allah said "Indeed, I will make you an Imam for the people". Abraham replied by putting a request forward, "And of my descendants?" And how did Allah take this request? By responding "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers". Notice Allah's reply to Abraham's request "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers". See the condition. This condition proves that this wasn't just and only leadership. This condition proves it was DIVINE LEADERSHIP.
You can look as much as you can and I will help you along the way, I am sure your not a kindergarten kid although you post like it sometimes.
Ibrahim as passed trials and tests He passed as a great prophet and now prophethood had finished no more revelations no new commands, Allah swt made Him as a great leader/imam whom most of the world consider as a great leader, no divine attachments, just a normal imam AS THE QURAN CLEARLY STATES!!!
You are coming with shiite influenced divine Imamate ideas and trying very hard to add it to the verse but you keep failing MISERABLY hence you keep regurgitating the same argument.
It’s getting boring now.
Look at your desperation man
“And when his Lord tried Ibrahim with commands, he fulfilled them. He said: Surely I will make you an Imam for mankind. (Ibrahim) said: And of my offspring (will there be leaders)? He said, my covenant does not include the unjust”. (2:124)
It was a question.....”and of my offspring?” He was asking about something He Ibrahim as didn’t know about, a genuine honest question with no added extras to think it’s about divine Imamate, like you do with your Shiite mindset.
Allah swt replied and blessed His off spring with leadership and there was plenty of them and they lived ruled and history has been written about them aplenty, your crying about words and meanings and what ifs and conditions words you add but cannot provide an example of a real living divine imam, it’s all in your head and you still cannot explain such an idea for there is no proof of it, our endless convo says it all, just as much you may think divine Imamate is real I answer you on your mistakes and contradictions for you to repeat the same again and again.
