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 ( And We gave him good in this world, ) meaning, `We granted him all that a believer may require for a good and complete life in this world.' وَإِنَّهُ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصَّـلِحِينَ ( and in the Hereafter he shall be of the righteous. ) Concerning the Ayah: وَءاتَيْنَـهُ فِى الْدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ( And We gave him good in this world, ) Mujahid said: "This means a truthful tongue." ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ( Then, We have sent the revelation to you: "Follow the religion of Ibrahim (he was a ) Hanif.

Then Allah rebukes the Jews,

( 6:161 ).
Then Allah rebukes the Jews,

( And We gave him good in the world ) We gave him a righteous progeny; it is also said that this means: good praise; it is also said that this means: We gave him good mention and praise among people, ( and in the Hereafter he is among the righteous ) with his forefathers among the messengers in Paradise.

And We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he shall be of the righteous.
