Hz. İbrahim'in Kur'an'daki Sıfatlarının Ahlaki Değerler Açısından İncelenmesi [An Inquiry on the Prophet Abraham's Attributes in the Qur'ān in Terms of Moral Values]

Abstract: Prophethood, which is one of the main pillars of Islamic creed,
refers to the transmission of God Almighty’s message to people through
messengers. Prophets, who are the messengers of God, are distinguished
servants and had been sent as both examples and leaders for people. For
this reason, prophets are frequently mentioned in the Qur’ān and they
are described with many different attributes. Knowing these attributes in
the Qur’ān plays a complementary role in the formation of the identity
and personality of a believer in terms of both belief and morality. In this
context, it is significant to determine the attributes of Prophet Abraham
mentioned in the Qur’ān and to determine the behavioral patterns they
contain. As an important role model for believers, Prophet Abraham is
characterized by many attributes in the Qur’ān. While some of them are
within the scope of the mission of messenger used for other prophets,
some of them are peculiar to Prophet Abraham which are unique for him
both as a servant and as a messenger. In this study, as a prominent figure
of the struggle of the unity (tawhīd), some of Prophet Abraham’s these
attributes mentioned in the Qur’ān, especially the attributes of believers,
which contain the moral principles that must be adopted during their
communication with God Almighty and the members of the society they
are in, will be elaborated on. Indeed, these attributes which are embodied
in the personality of Abraham have important place in revealing the
fundamental moral behavior of an exemplary and leading character and
a distinguished servant of God.
