  6. Ibrahim(A) thought and thought. He didn’t accept that these stone idols, which are made by man himself. • He didn’t accept the kings, who are human beings like ourselves to be gods, either! • He wondered… They can’t help themselves, how can they help us?

  7. Story of Prophet Ibrahim(A) • These thoughts led the prophet Ibrahim(A) to the decision that he would never worship these idols and he openly declared before them: • “O my people, I am quit of all those you take as gods beside God. I have turned my face unto Him who brought into being the heavens and the earth, having turned away from all false gods; and I am not of those who take gods beside God.”(al-Anam 79-80)

  8. Calamities start! As soon as he made declaration calamities came on him: • His father threatened him with expulsion from the family home. • After the threats he broke their idols to prove them that they are powerless.

  9. Calamities continue • He had an argument with the king that you are not my Lord. My Lord is the one whose hands are your life and death and mine too. • King decided to burn him alive in the fire. • But Ibrahim(A) didn’t walk back! • He willingly came forward to suffer this horrible punishment because of his strong faith in the One God.
