فقيل له إن إبراهيم وإسماعيل دعوا بأن تهوي أفئدة الناس إلى هذا البيت،
He was told: Indeed, Ibrahim and Ismail prayed that the hearts of the people be directed to this house,
إِبْرَاهِيمَ Ibrahim
A proper name in the accusative -a because the 'indeed' particle grips it as its subject; the object-style ending here is forced by that opener, not by any verb.
قَالَهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْخَلِيلُ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ
Ibrahim, the intimate friend, said it when he was cast into the fire.
إِبْرَاهِيمُ Ibrahim
A proper name standing as the subject of the verb, wearing the plain subject ending. Although the verb already encoded 'he', the name pins down exactly who is meant. It is the doer of the saying.
جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ رَفِيقَ إِبْرَاهِيمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
May Allah make him a companion of Abraham on the Day of Resurrection.
إِبْرَاهِيمِ Abraham
This proper name is the owner half of the pair started by 'companion', sitting in the genitive 'of' slot. It pins down whose companion: a companion of Abraham. Its position right after the head noun supplies the possessive link without a separate 'of'.
اذهبوا إلى إبراهيم فيأتون إبراهيم فيقولون يا إبراهيم أنت نبي الله وخليله من أهل الأرض اشفع لنا إلى ربك، ألا ترى ما نحن فيه؟
Go to Abraham, so they go to him and say: "O Abraham, you are the Prophet of Allah and His intimate friend from the people of the earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in?"
إِبْرَاهِيمَ Abraham
A proper name standing as the goal of the preceding 'to'. Because the preposition governs it, the name takes the ending that marks a noun ruled by a preposition, even though foreign names often resist case changes; here it sits as the target of the motion.
اذهبوا إلى إبراهيم فيأتون إبراهيم فيقولون يا إبراهيم أنت نبي الله وخليله من أهل الأرض اشفع لنا إلى ربك، ألا ترى ما نحن فيه؟
Go to Abraham, so they go to him and say: "O Abraham, you are the Prophet of Allah and His intimate friend from the people of the earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in?"
إِبْرَاهِيمَ Abraham
The name repeats as the object of the coming-to: Arabic often restates the full noun instead of dropping in a pronoun like English 'him', which keeps the reference unmistakable across the chain of verbs.
اذهبوا إلى إبراهيم فيأتون إبراهيم فيقولون يا إبراهيم أنت نبي الله وخليله من أهل الأرض اشفع لنا إلى ربك، ألا ترى ما نحن فيه؟
Go to Abraham, so they go to him and say: "O Abraham, you are the Prophet of Allah and His intimate friend from the people of the earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see the state we are in?"
إِبْرَاهِيمُ Abraham
This is the one being called, so it sits in the special address form that follows the call-particle rather than its ordinary sentence form. Naming the addressee directly sets up the appeal that comes next.
