شَاكِرًۭا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ۚ ٱجْتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ

[He was] grateful for His favors. Allah chose him and guided him to a straight path.

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

He selected him, as Allah says :

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَآ إِبْرَهِيمَ رُشْدَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا بِهِ عَـلِمِينَ

(And before, We indeed gave Ibrahim his integrity, and We were indeed most knowledgeable about him)(21:51). Then Allah says:

وَهَدَاهُ إِلَى صِرَطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

(and guided him to a straight path.) which means to worship Allah alone, without partners or associate, in the manner that He prescribed and which pleases Him.

وَءاتَيْنَـهُ فِى الْدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً
