Introduction

Ibraheem was born in an environment where people worshipped everything but Allah the Almighty. Idols of stone and wood, planets, stars, kings and rulers, everything that the human mind could imagine was worshipped in some way by people. Ibraheem's own father was not only an idols-worshipper but also an idols' fabricator and seller.

Born in such an atmosphere, Ibraheem stood against the entire system of his community: against all kinds of polytheism. This is the beginning of a life-time struggle in order to bring humanity back to its Creator, the Almighty Allah.

He faced hardships and sufferings in this mission, but he heroically resisted and persevered in calling his people to worship Allah alone without associating anything with Him. The life-time struggle earned him the glorious title of "Khaleeluhhah" which means "the Close One to Allah" and it made his descendants thereafter Prophets ans kings.

In brief, this chapter covers the entire life of Prophet Ibrahemm (peace & blessings be upon him) and his struggle with his family, his community, and the whole humanity at that time. The chapter begins with the seller of idols (Ibraheem's father) to cold fire, then Ibraheem search for his God and his call of people to Him, and it, finally, ends with Ibraheem at Mecca and Bait Al Maqdis.
