Iebra'heim [alai'his'slaam]
Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated perception of Root: ء ب و:
(مقاييس اللغة)
الهمزة والباء والواو يدلّ على
التربية والغَذْو. أبَوْتُ الشيء
آبُوه
أَبْواً إذا غذوته
That it leads to the perception of breeding, nurturing, upbringing and feeding. It thus refers both to biological father—the male genetic contributor to the creation of a person—and to his paternity in the lineage of ancestor. It thus also refers to non-biological father like paternal uncles.
In abstract sense, it is used as honorific title given to a person who is the driving force behind the establishment of a community—fraternity—brotherhood adhering to a system—behavioral pattern of life. The elevated Messenger of Allah the Exalted, Iebra'heim alai'his'slaam is declared the "Father of Muslims":
And you people exert utmost in the cause of Allah [bodily and with wealth] as is befitting to effort for His approval and appreciation.
He the Exalted has chosen you people and has not inserted in the Code of Physical Conduct any provision causing any sort of difficulty, confusion, disconcert upon you.
Execute the Procedural Code of Conduct of the community of your ancestor- founder, Iebra'heim [alai'his'slaam].
He named you people aforetimes as Muslims: those who submit to the discipline establishing state of peace, security, tranquility, harmony and dynamic balance for all. And in this-Qur'aan too you are identified and distinguished by this name.
So that the Messenger [Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, embodiment of mercy] be the witness over you people and you become the witnesses over contemporary people of society,
Therefore, you people organize and manage the performance of Ass-sa'laat: Time bound protocol of allegiance and servitude; and pay Az-zaka'at: financial liability for economic uplift of society;
And bind/confine/restrain yourselves/remain sincere with Allah [through Rope of Allah: the Qur'aan]; He is the Sovereign Lord and Protector of you people.
Realize, how the most Exalted Protector Lord and the best Helper is He the Exalted. [22:78]
