Islam regards {{tlit|ar|ʾIbrāhīm}} (Abraham) as a link in the chain of prophets that begins with Adam and culminates in [[Muhammad]] via {{tlit|ar|ʾIsmāʿīl}} (Ishmael).{{sfn|Levenson|2012|p=8}} Abraham is mentioned in 35 [[chapters of the Quran]], more often than any other biblical personage apart from [[Moses in Islam|Moses]].{{sfn|Peters|2003|p=9}} He is called both a {{tlit|ar|hanif}} ([[monotheist]]) and {{tlit|ar|muslim}} (one who submits),{{sfn|Levenson|2012|p=200}} and Muslims regard him as a [[prophet]] and [[patriarch]], the archetype of the perfect [[Muslim]], and the revered reformer of the [[Kaaba]] in [[Mecca]].{{sfn|Lings|2004|p=}} Islamic tradition considers Abraham the first "pioneer of Islam" (which is also called {{tlit|ar|millat ʾIbrāhīm}}, the 'religion of Abraham'), and that his purpose and mission throughout his life was to proclaim the [[Tawhid|oneness of God]]. In Islam, Abraham holds an exalted position among the major prophets and he is referred to as {{tlit|ar|Khalīlullāh}}, meaning 'Friend of [[God in Islam|God]]'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Khalilullah: The Friend of God |url=https://www.answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Vol2/4a.html |access-date=2025-04-05 |website=www.answering-islam.org}}</ref> Besides {{tlit|ar|[[Islamic view of Isaac|Ishaq]]}} and {{tlit|ar|[[Yaqub]]}} (Isaac and Jacob), Abraham is among the most excellent and honorable men in the view of God.<ref>{{Cite Quran|38|45|e=47|s=ns|t=a}}</ref>{{sfn|Maulana|2006|p=104}} He is also mentioned in Quran as the "Father of Muslims", and is put forward as a role model for the community.<ref>{{Cite Quran|38|78|s=ns|link=no|tn=a}}; {{Cite Quran|60|4|e=6|s=ns|b=n|tn=a}}</ref>
