Ibrahim AH was born and childhood :
Prophet Ibrahim (as) The Friend Of God.Prophet Ibrahim (as) was born in the kingdom of Babylon a long long time ago! He was blessed with wisdom even when he was a child, and this made him very very special! The Prophet was born during a time when the people worshiped the sun, the moon, the stars and they worshiped even the idols made out of stone! Ibrahim's father was a sculptor, and he used to make the idols with his own hands! His father never used to worship Allah (swt) at all! As a child, he used to sit and watch his father carving out these statues from stone. Ibrahim (as) got curious about these funny looking statues, and sometimes he used to play with them! But when he saw the same statue in temples, he got confused. He wondered why the people were prostrating before these stone idols, so he decided to ask his father about it. One day, when his father was carving a statue of Mardukh, the Prophet asked his father. "Baba, why are people worshiping these toys that you are making yourself?" “They represent our gods,” His father replied. "We should worship them to get favors from Gods". "Why does it have such big ears Baba?" the Prophet asked “This statue is the god of gods, the Mardukh” He replied. The big ears represent hisdeep knowledge. Even though Ibrahim (as) was only seven years old at that time, he couldn't control his laughter! As time went by, Ibrahim (as) grew with knowledge and wisdom. He knew that Allah (swt) was the only true God. His hatred for the idols increased as he grew older. Ibrahim (as) had now turned 16 years old.
To seek the God of Abraham:
Ibrahim (AS) used to look for Allah all the time. One day he was sitting on the top of a mountain, when he saw the sun, he said, "Maybe this is my creator." When night fell, the sun went down. And he said, "Maybe this is my Lord." When the moon set, he said, "What is not permanent cannot be my Creator." Then he became fully aware of the existence of Allah Ta'ala and said, "I turned away from all aspects and appointed only the One who created the heavens and the earth for worship and I am not one of the polytheists."
He realized that he had been sent to earth as a prophet.
At that moment, he returned home and invited his father to the deen. His father was angry when he heard such words on his son's face.
Then Ibrahim went to the market and shouted for Islam, but no one accepted it.
One day they all went to give a yuga at a ceremony when there was no one in the Kaaba room and on that occasion he took an ax in his hand and gave all the idols to Begum. Then he left the ax on the pillar of the biggest idol and left. The next day when they went to the prayer house, they saw that all the idols were broken. It was not too late for them to understand who was doing the job.
They called Ibrahim and asked, "Who did this?"
The Prophet replied, "Ask your Lord." They said, "Are you mad? How can the idol speak?"
Ibrahim (AS) said, "How can a person who cannot say that he cannot save himself be a creator?" Abraham said, "Believe in God."
Ibrahim A. threw into the fire:
They were angry at Ibrahim's words and planned to kill him. Some people said, "Let him be thrown into a big fire pit." The decision is based on this opinion. They made a big fire pit and threw Ibrahim A. in it.But the fire went out for Ibrahim AH by the command of Allah.
The fire that they made to kill Ibrahim became comfortable for Ibrahim. Seeing Ibrahim (peace be upon him) recovering, some people understood him as a prophet sent by Allah.
Then they took the prophet to the king and told him the whole story.
Then the king was Nimrod.
Nimrod said I can give life. Ibrahim (AS) said: Allah raises the sun in the east and sets it in the west. Can you make the sun rise in the west? Nimrod stood speechless on hearing this.
Ishmael AH:
Ishmael was the most beloved son of Ibrahim. After his birth, by the command of Allah, he left his wife and child in the Sahara desert. There was no settlement there. Ishmael A.'s mother used to fetch water between the two hills of Safa Marwa. And Allah Ta'ala included this chutachuti in Hajj.Then by the miraculous power of Allah, the little child Ishmael and his mother quenched their thirst by drinking plenty of water.
One day, by the command of Allah, Ibrahim brought his wife and child.
Then Ibrahim AH was very happy.
And then God tested him again.
Ibrahim A. saw in a dream that he was sacrificing his most cherished thing in the way of Allah. After seeing this dream, the Prophet gave in the way of Allah. But after that he also dreamed again.Then he realized that Ishmael had to sacrifice in the way of Allah.
Then Ibrahim started walking with Ishmael and gradually he told Ishmael everything.
He was happy to hear this and said, "Father, it is a pleasure for me if you sacrifice me in the way of Allah."
Ishmael said, "Father, tie my hands and feet well so that I cannot move."
Then Allah was pleased with Ibrahim and a lamb was sacrificed in place of Ishmael.
Allah tested Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) many times and he passed all the tests. He was the father of the Muslim nation. Ibrahim AH completed the Kaaba. His children later became prophets.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was preceded by Ibrahim A.
Muhammad [SA:] is the leader of the prophets. He is the last prophet.
