Ibrahim
Many years ago a boy called
Ibrahim lived in Canaan. He was very clever and was always asking questions.
Most of the people he knew worshipped idols but Ibrahim did not.The people had
forgotten the messages that Adam, Hud, Nuh and Salih had brought them. Instead
of praising Allah they worshipped statues.
Ibrahim told his father he
didn't think people should worship objects they had made themselves. His father
was angry and told him not to say anything about the gods again. Ibrahim
decided he must show the people they were wrong so he thought of a plan.
One night he sneaked into the
place where all the statues were kept. With an axe he chopped off the heads
from all but one of the statues. The biggest one he left. The next morning the
people were very angry and upset at what had happened. They were sure Ibrahim
had done it. They gathered in the public square and asked him if he had done
it. Ibrahim told them to ask their big idol if he knew who was responsible.
But, of course, the statue
could not speak and the people knew it was only stone. Ibrahim shouted at them
and asked how they could worship lumps of stone. The bad people were even more
angry. They started to collect wood for a fire. They were going to burn Ibrahim
to death. They made a big bonfire and put Ibrahim on the top. Everyone came to
watch. They lit the wood. The fire burned, the flames grew higher and higher.
The people had to back away from the heat of the flames.
Ibrahim was a good person. He
believed in Allah. Allah would protect him. Allah would not let the fire harm
him. When the flames dies down the people could not believe their eyes.They saw
that Ibrahim was alive and the flames had not harmed him at all. How had this
happened? They all knew this was a great miracle and they fell to their knees.
This wonderful thing had made
them believe in Allah. Some people would still not listen. They thought Ibrahim
was just a magician Nimrod, the king of Canaan, heard all about Ibrahim. He
wanted to talk to him. He asked Ibrahim about Allah. Ibrahim told him that Allah
could do all things.
He could give life and death.
Nimrod said that he too could do that. His soldiers brought two men in. Nimrod
ordered one to be killed and the other to be saved. Nimrod thought that this
made him like Allah. Ibrahim told him that Allah brings the sun every morning
from the East.
He asked Nimrod if he could
bring the sun from the west next day, of course, Nimrod was unable to do that.
Ibrahim married a girl called
Sarah. They lived very happily in Palestine. They worked and had plenty of
everything. Ibrahim became very wealthy, but he was a good man. He always
helped other people too.
After many years Ibrahim and
Sarah still had no children. This made them very sad. They both wanted a child
to share their life with. Sarah told Ibrahim that he should marry her servant
Hajar too, so that Ibrahim and Hajar could make a child together.
