People have asked:ِ ``why should have ABRAHAM asked forgiveness for his father, when he threatened him of stoning'' :ِ
``O, ABRAHAM! Do you really hate my gods? If you desist not I will stone you. Now you get away and leave me.''
QURÄNِS 19:46
In answering such a question the above verse (NO.114) states that, ABRAHAM'S plea was only for a promise he had made to him because he still hoped him to leave the idols and adhere to the true and Only one God.
ABRAHAM was a tender- hearted and kind to all creatures. When he made sure that his father would not believe, he abandoned him and went away, and did not returned to him at all.
