Abraham's life not only makes him a prophet but a murshid at the same time. He was a mystic and he gave counsel to those who came to him in need. He examined them, treated their minds, and healed their souls according to their needs. The most remarkable thing one notices in Abraham is that, besides being a prophet and a mystic, he lived the life of an ordinary human being, one with his fellowmen in their times of pleasure and sorrow.
