Subtitle: Was Azar the Father of Prophet Abraham?
But what is surprising, that knowing for fact Ibrahim’s (as) father was ‘Tarakh’ and NOT ‘Azar’ as stipulated by
some Sunni historians, which is in total conformity with the opinion of Shi’a. Ibn Katheer in his work on history
writes: Ibrahim (as) was the son of Tarakh. When Tarakh was 75 years of age, Ibrahim (as) was born to him.
Sunni reference: al-Bidaya wan Nahaya, by Ibn Katheer, v1 p139
This is also confirmed by Tabari, as he gives the lineage of Ibrahim’s (as) family in his history collection,
but then also in his Commentary of the Qur’an he states that ‘Azar’ was NOT the father of Ibrahim (as).
Sunni references: - History of al-Tabari, v1, p119
