The Story of Ibrahim Read all of the Ayaat and Hadeeth carefully, understand them and if possible memo-
rise them.
As we learnt that before the prophet Muhammad there were other prophets.
Do you remember this ayah?
و ل اللى البراهيم والسمأعيل والسحأق ويعق ل اللينأ ومأ ان ومأ اوتي ا ق ل ا امنأ بألله ومأ ان أ سنهم ونحن له مسلم ن نفرق بين احد م بهم م سى وعيسى ومأ اوتي الني ن من
Say (O Muslims), "We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and
that which has been sent down to Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque
(Isaac), Ya'qub (Jacob), and to Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], and that
which has been given to Musa (Moses) and 'Iesa (Jesus), and that which has been given
to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to
Him we have submitted (in Islam)." Surah 2. Al -Baqara, Verse 136:
Name a few prophets before Muhammad from the ayah at the beginning of the pas-
sage.

The prophet Ibrahim lived a long time ago. So how and what do we know about him?

Allah is the all-knowing so He is the best one to inform us, through the Quran and his
Messenger Muhammad. Allah says in the Quran:
ع ه وهذا الني والذين امن ا والله ولي المؤ براهيم للذين ات نين م الن اولى النأس بأل
Verily, among mankind who have the best claim to Ibrahim (Abraham) are those who
followed him, and this Prophet (Muhammad SAW) and those who have believed
(Muslims). And Allah is the Wali (Protector and Helper) of the believers. - Ali Imraan
3:68
And Allah says:
ع ا ملة البراهيم حنيفأ ومأ كأن من المشركين قل صدق الله فأت
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Allah has spoken the truth; follow the religion of Ibrahim
(Abraham) Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism, i.e. he used to worship Allah Alone), and he
was not of Al-Mushrikun." - Ali Imraan 3:95
So Allah informs us that Ibrahim was a prophet who followed Islam. And that he was
Haneef.
What does this mean? Underline the correct answer:
1) A person who worships Allah alone.
2) A Jewish Man
3) A man who calls upon the Prophet Muhammad
The people of Ibrahim used to worship the moon, stars, the sun and other such things.
A person who worshups other than Allah is called a:
It was because of his strong desire to worship Allah alone that drove the idol worship-
pers to attack him, harm him and drive him away.

And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said to his father Azar: "Do you take idols

as aliha (gods)? Verily, I see you and your people in manifest error. - Al An'aam 4:74
So Allah guided Ibrahim and made him a prophet.
وليك ن من الم قنين مأوات وا وكذلك نري البراهيم ملك ت الس
Thus did we show Ibrahim (Abraham) the kingdom of the heavens and the earth that
he be one of those who have Faith with certainty. - Al An'aam 4:75
Allah even gave him a scripture or book. And so Ibrahim was a prophet and one from
the five prophets who had the strongest determination.
What are the five strong willed prophet’s in Arabic reffered to as?
SHAABAH ULU'L-AZM KHAMSA RIJAAL
Ibrahim was humble and firm upon tawheed.
نيب اه م الن البراهيم لحليم او
Verily, Ibrahim (Abraham) was, without doubt, forbearing, used to invoke Allah with
humility, and was repentant (to Allah all the time, again and again).
So Ibrahim left his people and travelled out. Because he wanted to leave the shirk
they committed.

Ibrahim had a wife called

Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: ‘Sarah then said: “Oh Allah! If he died
then the people would say: she has killed him.” Then Allah released him. He said at a third
or fourth time: “You brought to me a shaytan [because he could not understand what was
happening]. Take her back to Ibrahim and give her Hajr.” She returned and said to Ibrahim:
“Did you know that Allah has failed the plot of the disbeliever, and gave us a slave girl to
serve us.”’
[Excerpt from Hadeeth in Ahmad 2:403, 404 and Bukhari 2217]
Hajr & Isma’eel
As Saarah couldn't have a baby she told Ibrahim to marry Hajr and Allah blessed them
with a baby boy, called Isma'eel.
عأء بي لسميع الد ر السمأعيل والسحأق الن الحمد لله الذي وهب لي على الك
"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has given me in old age Isma'il (Ishmael)
and Ishaque (Isaac). Verily! My Lord is indeed the All -Hearer of invoca-
tions.” (Ibrahim 5:39)
When Isma’eel was only a baby, Allah commanded Ibrahim to take his wife Hajr to a
valley in the Hijaz. What do we know that place to be called today?
SAUDI ARABIA EGYPT SYRIA
Ibrahim took them to the valley of?

Ibrahim took her and left her with a leather pouch of water and some dates. Hajr
asked him “Has your Lord told you to leave us here?” Ibrahim replied “Yes.” So Hajr
said “then he will not let us be destroyed here.”
This was the strong reliance that Hajr had. Reliance in Arabic is

So Ibrahim left them and went out until he came to the narrow mountain pass where
he could hardly be seen by them. Then he made dua to Allah:
ل بنأ ليقيم ا الص م ع عند بيتك المحر يتي ب اد غير ذي ز بنأ الني اسكنت من ذ ن اة فأجعل افئدة من المرات لعلهم يشكرون زقهم م النأس ته ي الليهم وا
"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by
Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may per-
form As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards
them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
Surah 14. Ibrahim, 14:37
Meanwhile Hajr and her son were eating the dates and drinking form the water. Very
soon it all finished. So Hajr started to worry. Why was she worried?

Underline the correct answers:
She has a small baby with her
She didn’t rely on Allah
She had run out of water and no food.
She didn’t believe in Allah any more
So Hajr decided to do something. Number the statements in the correct order from 1
to 8.
____ > She began to worry more and she rushed between the two mountains
trying to find any water, or any help she could.
____ > Hajr got up and went to the nearest hill.
____ > Then when she came up to Marwa she heard a voice.
____ > Water started to flow from that place.
____ > She gathered some water in her hand

anybody but there was no one in sight. She waked to the Marwa. She didn’t
find anyone there
____ > She saw an angel, near her son Isma’il digging at the ground with its
heels or wings.
____ > She repeated this seven times.
Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (may Allah's peace be upon him) said:
“May Allah bestow His Mercy upon the Mother of Isma’eel. Has she let the Zamzam flow – or
he said: Had she not scooped the water – the Zamzam would have been a flowing stream.”
He said “She drank from it and suckled her child. The angel said to her: ‘Do not be afraid of
being lost. The House of Allah is here, which this child and his father willbuild. Allah certainly
does not neglect his people.’” – Al-Bukhari 3364

And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will
guide me!" "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous." So We gave him the
glad tidings of a forbearing boy. And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with
him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you
in sacrifice to Allâh), so look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which
you are commanded, Inshâ' Allâh (if Allâh will), you shall find me of As -Sâbirun (the
patient)." Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allâh), and
he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughter-
ing); And We called out to him: "O Abraham! You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily!
thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers - see V.2:112). Verily, that indeed was a
manifest trial. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. کب- a ram); And We
left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations. Salâmun (peace) be
upon Ibrâhim (Abraham)!" Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinûn (good -doers - see
V.2:112). Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves. And We gave him the glad tidings
of Ishâq (Isaac) a Prophet from the righteous. We blessed him and Ishâq (Isaac), and
of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves. -

place of security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and

contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst
indeed is that destination!" (Al-Baqara 2:126)

And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You,
and show us our Manasik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.),
and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most
Merciful. (Al Baqarah 2:127-128)

(Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibrahim (Abraham) stood while he was building the
Ka'bah] as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at after the Tawaf
of the Ka'bah at Makkah), and We commanded Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isma'il
(Ishmael) that they should purify My House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who are
circumambulating it, or staying (I'tikaf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in
prayer). (Baqarah 2:125)
