Ibrahim صلى الله عليه وسلم Asking For Forgiveness
I also read this online: ‘ here’s what i think 1) Ibrahim a.s. definitely prayed for his parents toward the end of his life 2) the figure ‘Azaar’ in the qur’an, considered by most to be his father, would, by nearly every metric, fit the criteria for the kind of person that one is not allowed to pray for in the qur’an as per 9:13 due to his active and intense efforts in suppressing monotheism in the presence of a prophet 3) the issue is that the figure ‘Azaar’ may not have been his father since the same word is used in the qur’an to describe uncles or something (i can’t remember the particulars of the language used) 4) thus, i think Abraham a.s. parents definitely wouldn’t have fit the criteria for 9:13 (being of mushrikeen and clear dwellers of the Fire) 5) the fate of Ibrahim’s a.s. parents is not clear but they either aren’t ‘clear dwellers of the fire’ or mushrikoon. ig you could look into this a bit more to understand more about the 9:13 criteria 6) i don’t think that Abu Talib r.a. fits the criteria for 9:13. he definitely wasn’t a kafir, quite the opposite, due to his active efforts in protecting islam and the prophet s.a.w.‘ This should be taken into consideration
