Question:
The questioner: Is there a connection between Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father and His saying:
Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returnedرَّبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا
[Al-Mumtahanah 60:4]

Answer:
This is a supplication by Ibrahim and those with him, in which they called upon their Lord. This is something else, distinct from seeking forgiveness. Yes.
