He is the son Bazaar (Tariq) Thru son, the son of Rau `Serum bin bin bin Falij Aabir bin Salish bin Afrakhsyad bin Saan son Noah. Prophet Abraham was born in a place called Faddam A `ram which belonged to the kingdom of Babylon. Kingdom of Babylon at that time was ruled by a king who was ruthless and has absolute power of Nimrod.

He is a king who would not step down and want power continuously even want to live continuously. So he did not hesitate to fool people for worship. In fact he also proclaimed himself as a god to be worshiped by his subjects. So he ordered all who dare to disobey.

Before the Prophet Abraham was born, the king Nimrod never dreamed I saw a young man jumped into his room and he seized the crown and destroy it. The next day he called fortune-tellers to interpret the meaning of the dream.

According to the fortune-teller, a boy in a dream that one day the king would undermine the authority of the king. Nimrod ordered his soldiers to kill every baby boy born.

When Abraham was born, his parents hid in the cave. From infants to teens he grew up in the cave. He never saw the outside world.

Ibrahim use their minds to thinking, curiosity sets in the soul of Abraham. During this time he only saw chunks of rock and soil in the cave. When her mother had gone to town looking for food, he tried to exit the cave. Once set foot outside the cave, Ibrahim was taken aback.

It was truly amazed to see a very broad nature. The mountains towering blue. sky stretched. In the afternoon he saw the bright sun. At night he saw the light of the moon that illuminated the night.

Since childhood, Prophet Ibrahim got instructions from Allah.He be surprised to see people who worship the statue when the statues cannot talk, could not see, could not hear and can not provide relief.

"Why do they worship an inanimate object?" The question that arises in the mind of Abraham

If he met with camels, goats and sheep, always restive question in his heart. Who created all these?

Ibrahim wanted to find who is to rule over all. Who should be reasonable and shall worship the Lord?

When night came, he saw the moon and stars. But the moon does not It seems that finally sank again. By day he saw the sun, but it also in afternoon sinking sun never seemed longer.

Abraham said to himself, "I do not like the sunken godless"
Eventually Abraham can find his thoughts are still sacred. My God who created humans, plants, animals and anything contained in face of this earth? “

Ibrahim Mingle with His people
after news of the killing of adults. Ibrahim allowed both parents to come out of cave.Live in the community.

Grief undermine his heart, it turns out people in the surrounding dilapidated mental. Mind really blunt so that sculpture and pictorial stones they make God's being venerated his behavior.


Father Abraham himself was the idol maker who sold to the public. And also worship the statue finally made his own.

Ibrahim then complained to God, "God, I'm suffering, mental anguish, I saw a bad one and misguidance. For whatever reason the mind that God gave to them? Whether reasonable minds it is only used to search for wealth and for sheer mischief. My God, show me, that God did not appoint me; I will be people who get lost and do injustice. "

Then God gave the instructions to him.he appointed as the Prophet and Prophet. He was given the revelation that his conviction about the existence of god is not just a mere thought reasonable conclusion, but rather comes from the ordinances of the Lord.

God taught all the secrets behind the real nature. That behind this universe there are also natural GHOIB. Every man who died will be raised again later in the netherworld.

Abraham assured him, in fact he already believed in the existence of day of reckoning on the Day of Resurrection. One day he wanted to obtain clues more real and convincing her heart.
So he prayed to God, 'Lord, show me, how you turn people off. “

God answered Abraham's request with a question, "Are you not believe in Abraham?"
Abraham replied, "I have believed, but that increase was sure my heart"
God later instructed Abraham to take four birds. The fourth dismembered and his body was divorced. Each piece is placed on top of four hills which were located far apart.

Ibrahim was then ordered to take the birds that have been destroyed. And now time to the blue bird was alive again as usual and went to the Prophet Abraham.

Now get on the power of God assured Abraham that turn something dead.
God then said, "Likewise, I will raise a dead man to start up in the netherworld, and his deeds will be judged on the world. And all men will receive a return on their own."

His father was an invitation for Berhala To Leave
Before the Prophet Ibrahim invites his people to abandon idolatry, which was first invited to worship God, is his own father.

Ibrahim's father is called Azar Berhala (stone).He statue maker warned his father with language gentle courtesy, "O my father, why do you worship something that is not heard, not seen and cannot help you at all? O my father, I has a knowledge given by God and cannot be given unto you. So follow the advice-advice, undoubtedly will show you the right path. O my father, thou salt not worships Satan .That disobedience to God the Most Gracious. O my father, I fear thee will be crushed from God, and then you become friends of the devil. “

But his father did not want to follow the call of Abraham.
Said his father, "Do you against my Lord, Abraham? Leave me for a long time. “

Because his father did not want to follow he simply said, "May safety be delegated to you, I will ask for forgiveness for you on my Lord. Verily He is very kind to me. And I'll keep away from you and from what you worship besides Allah. And will pray to my Lord. I hope I'm not disappointed by praying to my Lord. “

But after God explained that his father Abraham was the enemy of Allah then Ibrahim innocent of him. No longer a moral burden as a child to his father as Al-Qur `an:" And demand from Abraham to his father's forgiveness is only because of a promise which had recently professed his father was an enemy of God, Abraham innocent of him. Verily Ibrahim was a gentle heart again Clement. “

King Nimrod continued shoot Abraham, but Abraham remained on initial answers. "Well King Nimrod, I have a mind, you have the mind as well. If you want to find out whom the perpetrators of the destruction of the idols that then ask the biggest idols. "

King Nimrod outraged to hear the greeting, "O Abraham, you're really stupid, where your brain, it is definitely not a statue of whom I could talk"
"O King Nimrod, who is really stupid, why is the statue that cannot speak and move you make God to be worshiped. Why statues and idols that cannot protect themselves that you admire of, is not that extreme stupidity? "Replied Ibrahim
