Ibrahim is named in the Diwan as the second king of the line, standing between the founding ancestor Sef and Duku, the eponym of the Duguwa dynasty. His name reflects the Islamic reworking of the genealogy, in which the Arabic Ibrahim (Abraham) was woven into the ancestral chain. Beyond his place in the succession little narrative attaches to him; he functions in the tradition chiefly as the genealogical bridge that carries the sacral kingship from Sef down to the historically attested Duguwa mais.
