Prophet Ibrahim's struggles from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets by Ismāʻīl ibn ʻUmar Ibn Kathīr
Prophet Ibrahim's struggles were many and varied throughout his life. From a young age, he faced adversity and opposition from his own family and community. His father, Azar, was an idol-maker, and when Ibrahim challenged him about the foolishness of worshipping statues, his father became angry and threatened to stone him. Despite the threats and ridicule he faced, Ibrahim remained steadfast in his belief in the one true God. He continued to preach the message of monotheism, calling his people to abandon their false gods and worship the Creator of the heavens and the earth. But his people rejected his message and refused to listen to him. One of Prophet Ibrahim's greatest struggles came when he was thrown into a blazing fire by his people. The flames were so intense that even the birds flying overhead were burned. But by the will of Allah, the fire became cool and safe for Ibrahim. This miraculous event served as a testament to Ibrahim's unwavering faith and his trust in Allah's protection. Another significant test for Ibrahim was when he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his beloved son, Isma'il. Despite the deep love he had for his son, Ibrahim was willing to obey Allah's command without question. As he prepared to carry out the sacrifice, Allah intervened and provided a ram as a substitute, showing Ibrahim's obedience and submission to the will of Allah. Throughout his life, Prophet Ibrahim faced numerous trials and tribulations, but he remained patient and steadfast in his faith. His unwavering devotion to Allah and his willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of his Creator serve as a powerful example for believers to follow. Ibrahim's struggles are a reminder of the importance of trust, obedience, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
