87. And do not disgrace me on the Day when all will be resurrected [63].

[63]
The Fate of the Father of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him):

That is, on the Day of Resurrection, do not disgrace me before all the first and the last in such a way that my father is being punished while Ibrahim is standing and watching. Thus, it is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) will see his father on the Day of Resurrection in such a state that his face will be covered with darkness and dust. He will say to his father, "Did I not tell you not to disobey me?" The father will say, "Today I will not disobey you." Then Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) will say to his Lord, "You promised me that You would not disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection. What greater disgrace can there be for me than that my father is being disgraced and is deprived of Your mercy?" Allah Almighty will say, "I have made Paradise forbidden for the disbelievers." Then it will be said to Hazrat Ibrahim, "Just look under your feet." When he looks, he will see a badger covered in filth (and there will be no sign of his father). Then that badger will be seized by its feet and thrown into Hell." [بخاری۔ کتاب بدء الخلق۔ باب قول اللہ __QUR_0__]

Thus, on the Day of Resurrection, the disgrace of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) will be averted by transforming the appearance of his father.
