The Holy Quran has surveyed certain prophets and exposed to us certain samples of their stories and careers and also their attitude towards their people and the approach they followed and what it ends with the destruction of the unbelievers.
Among those prophets mentioned the Holy Quran and whose attitude towards their nations is prophet Abraham (PBUH).It clear from reciting the Quranic verses the method of calling his father, his people and the king who lived during his era. What is important in this research is his invocation of his father and the methods taken during such an invocation. I have concentrated on the style (kindness) in his invocation to his father where this style becomes a well tradition to the coming generations.
The research included two parts: the first is specified for the definition of the research. It includes four requirements. In the first requirement I concentrated on the definition of the style, in the second the definition of kindness, in the third the definition of invocation while the fourth one is specified for the definition of Abraham (PBUH).
The second part surveys the style of kindness in Abraham s (PBUH) in his invocation to his people. It includes an introduction and two requirements. The first requirement is to pin point the features of kindness. It includes five branches; the first is Abraham s well-mannered towards his unbeliever father, the second branch is depending upon the tangible proofs, the third is the effect of knowledge in the Abraham s (PBUH) invocation to Allah. The fourth one includes the fallacy of the worshipped idol and the fifth implements that reason behind torture is the denial of belief. In the second requirement I talked about Abraham s (PBUH) invocation towards his relatives whereas in the second I pointed out that kindness does not mean flattery. The third requirement includes that there is neither invocation nor any amendment without knowledge. The fourth includes that denial and threat are the ways of resisting. The fifth requirement deals with fore bearance. In the sixth requirement relation does not mean guidance. In the seventh kindness is a tradition of invocation.
