Why was the name Ibrahim mentioned with a kasra in Surat Al-Baqarah, and with a yaa in other surahs?
Do not break the meem of the word "Ibraheem" (Abraham); this is to prevent it from being diptote (prevented from sarf) due to being a proper noun of foreign origin. Furthermore, it is not written with a broken meem in the masaahif (copies of the Qur’an). The word appeared fifteen times in Surat al-Baqarah, and in it, as well as in the masaahif of the people of Iraq, it was written without the yaa’ and with a broken haa’ ("Ibrahm"). In contrast, it was written with the yaa’ ("Ibraheem") in the rest of the surahs, and in the masaahif of Madinah, Makkah, and the Imam . In the masaahif of the people of Sham, it was written without the yaa’.
