And the Almighty to Uruuk sent in,
He who conquers fire by coolness within,
He whose needs fit on the head of a pin,
His dignity dazzled angels and jinn,
So peace be upon Ibrahim and kin!
Prophetic families with him begin,
The secrets of Friendship with him begin;
Among the Folk: ‘Uthman his greatest twin.
—The Marriages of Hadhrat ‘Uthman, verses 155-162
“Our Master’s ancestor, the blessed Prophet Abraham, is known as Khalīlu-llāh, meaning God’s Friend.“
