And mention Abraham in the Book. Verily, he was a loyal Messenger.
Tafsir
The fact that Allah (swt) told our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to remember Ibrahim (Abraham) in the Book informs us that our Prophet (pbuh) had memorized the Holy Qur'an and knew it before he was born.
If this verse had said write the story of Abraham instead of remember Abraham, the Prophet (PBUH) would have been able to read and write, or if it had said write, he would have been illiterate and ignorant of the Hereafter, and only in the worldly realm, Allah (swt) would have revealed His Verses to the Prophet (PBUH) through revelation. In this verse, when it says "Remember Ibrahim", we understand that the Prophet (pbuh) had memorized the Qur'an and was aware of the events in the Hereafter before he came to the realm of property. Because the fact that many verses address the Holy Prophet (PBUH) as "Remember that" informs us of this. Also, the fact that the Prophet (PBUH) says to the Prophet (PBUH), I have made you alive, informs us that the Prophet (PBUH) was a witness to many events. In this respect, the Prophet (PBUH) was (vema erselnake illa rahmeten lil alemin).
(Even as a child, Prophet Ibrahim did not associate any partners with Allah other than the one and only Allah, and stood away from the idols worshipped by his people and his father. He tied his heart to Allah, the only Creator of the worlds. He used to pity the people and lament their plight because he could not turn them to the truth because they were stuck in falsehood and associating partners with Allah.
What is said in the video
Surah Maryam, verse 41 In the Book, to Abraham For he was a prophet of complete truthfulness.
Allah Almighty saying to the Beloved of the Most Great, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): mention Abraham, too, in the Book — that the Prophet (peace be upon him), before coming into the world, had memorized the Quran and knew these things, this it makes known to us.
How did he do the whole Quran before coming into the world? From which verse does it tell us he did it all?
Like this: Read the Book; after the word of the verse comes, do not move your lips, it says. No.
You did not expect that this Book would be given to you, it says.
Verse. (?) knows. He knows. My Lord raised me. He raised me well. And my Lord brought me up. And he grew up under His upbringing. Of course he will know it by heart. You, you did not expect that this Book would be given to you, it says. How beautiful. The verses always confirm one another beautifully. Yes.
It tells us that the Prophet (peace be upon him), before coming into the world, had memorized the Quran and knew these things. Mention Abraham, too, in the Book.
If in this verse, instead of "mention Abraham too", it had said "write the story of Abraham too", had it said "write", the Prophet (peace be upon him) would have known how to read and write; or had it said "have it written", not knowing how to read and write, unaware of the Hereafter, it would have been Allah Almighty making His verses known by revelation only in this world to the Prophet (peace be upon him). When this verse says "mention Abraham too", we understand that the Prophet (peace be upon him), before coming to the world of dominion, had memorized the Quran in the Hereafter too and was aware of the events.
Another verse supports this. Which one? We will reveal to you and you will never forget. Before, too, in this world it was closed, but when it opens, the knowledge there, the memorization, already processed in the spirit, (?) when it finds its counterpart here, outwardly he will never forget. Yes, he will never forget.
Yes.
Because in many verses, too, the address "remember that" to the Prophet (peace be upon him) tells us this; in some events, "remember that", yes. Also, His saying to the Prophet (peace be upon him) "I made you alive", saying "I made you alive", tells us that the Prophet (peace be upon him) witnessed many events. In this respect too, the Prophet (peace be upon him) became "ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn".
Abraham was a prophet of complete truthfulness. Even as a child, the Prophet Abraham did not ascribe partners to Allah besides the One Allah; he kept away from the idols his people and his father worshipped.
He bound his heart to the One Allah who created the worlds. Because people, sinking into falsehood, associated partners with Allah and he could not turn them to the truth, he pitied these people and sighed greatly over their state. Yes.
