We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good: And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonah, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations: (To them) and to their fathers, and progeny and brethren: We chose them, and we guided them to a straight way. — Qur’an, sura 6 (Al-An'am), ayat 83-87 Abraham's narrative in the Quran indirectly refers to his role as one of the great patriarchs.
(Ayat:153-162) Sungguh telah Kami sampaikan wahyu kepada dirimu sebagaimana Kami telah mewahyukan kepada Nuh juga para nabi setelahnya, dan telah Kami wahyukan kepada Ibrahim, Ismail, Ishaq, Ya’qub dan Suku-Suku, Isa, Ayyub, Yunus, Harun serta Sulaiman; bahwa telah Kami berikan Zabur kepada Daud; sungguh telah Kami kisahkan riwayat para Rasul terdahulu kepada dirimu, sungguh terdapat para Rasul yang tidak Kami kisahkan kepada dirimu; sungguh Allah telah berbincang-bincang secara langsung dengan Musa; para Rasul merupakan pembawa berita gembira serta pemberi peringatan supaya tiada alasan bagi manusia membantah Allah sesudah para Rasul itu; sungguh Allah Maha Perkasa, Maha Bijaksana.
