The emotional conversation between Ibrahim (alayhisalam) and his father, and Allahs reward to those who are steadfast

Surah Maryam:

وَاذكُر فِى الكِتٰبِ إِبرٰهيمَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ صِدّيقًا نَبِيًّا ‏ (٤١) ‎41. And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.‎

إِذ قالَ لِأَبيهِ يٰأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعبُدُ ما لا يَسمَعُ وَلا يُبصِرُ وَلا يُغنى عَنكَ شَيـًٔا‏ (٤٢) ‎42. [Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?‎

يٰأَبَتِ إِنّى قَد جاءَنى مِنَ العِلمِ ما لَم يَأتِكَ فَاتَّبِعنى أَهدِكَ صِرٰطًا سَوِيًّا‏ (٤٣) ‎43. O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.‎

يٰأَبَتِ لا تَعبُدِ الشَّيطٰنَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيطٰنَ كانَ لِلرَّحمٰنِ عَصِيًّا‏ (٤٤) ‎44. O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.‎

يٰأَبَتِ إِنّى أَخافُ أَن يَمَسَّكَ عَذابٌ مِنَ الرَّحمٰنِ فَتَكونَ لِلشَّيطٰنِ وَلِيًّا‏ (٤٥) ‎45. O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."‎

This is what Ibrahim (alayhisalam) said to his father. He was trying so hard to convince him to leave his ways, almost begging him. He (alayhisalam) did this out of pure love and a desire to save his father.

But this was his fathers reaction:

قالَ أَراغِبٌ أَنتَ عَن ءالِهَتى يٰإِبرٰهيمُ ۖ لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ لَأَرجُمَنَّكَ ۖ وَاهجُرنى مَلِيًّا‏ (٤٦) ‎46. [His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."‎

His own father threatened to kill Him (alayhisalam) after he tried guiding him to the straight path, and basically disowned him

قالَ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيكَ ۖ سَأَستَغفِرُ لَكَ رَبّى ۖ إِنَّهُ كانَ بى حَفِيًّا‏ (٤٧) ‎47. [Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.‎

وَأَعتَزِلُكُم وَما تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَأَدعوا رَبّى عَسىٰ أَلّا أَكونَ بِدُعاءِ رَبّى شَقِيًّا‏ (٤٨) ‎48. And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."‎

Ibrahim (Alayhisalam) remains steadfast and faithful in Allah, even after his abandonment by his own father. Even after all that he still prayed for his fathers forgiveness.

This was the result of Ibrahim (alayhisalams) powerful will and faith in Allah:

فَلَمَّا اعتَزَلَهُم وَما يَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحٰقَ وَيَعقوبَ ۖ وَكُلًّا جَعَلنا نَبِيًّا‏ (٤٩) ‎49. So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.‎

وَوَهَبنا لَهُم مِن رَحمَتِنا وَجَعَلنا لَهُم لِسانَ صِدقٍ عَلِيًّا‏ (٥٠) ‎50. And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor.‎

As a result of His (alayhisalam) Faith and will Allah made him the father of 2 prophets and gave them and their descendants the greatest honors to ever be granted upon humans
