Surah Ibrahim highlights the deep concern Prophet Ibrahim (AS) had for the spiritual state of his family. One of the most beloved prayers in the Quran is his plea to keep his lineage firm upon Salah.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ
Rabbij-'alni muqimas-salati wa min dhurriyati Rabbana wa taqabbal du'a.
My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.
