Abraham (Ibrahim) is a pivotal figure in the Quran, revered as the father of monotheism. His story revolves around his journey to discover the true nature of God and his unwavering commitment to monotheism.
God chose Abraham for His divine purpose, and he embarked on a quest for the knowledge of the One true God.
He questioned the prevalent polytheistic beliefs of his society and ultimately realized the existence of the one, all-powerful Creator.
One of the most testing moments in Abraham's life was when God commanded him to sacrifice his beloved son, Ishmael, as a test of his faith.
Abraham's willingness to submit to God's will, even in this excruciatingly difficult moment, demonstrated his unshakable devotion.
As he raised the knife to obey God's command, God intervened, replacing Ishmael with a ram, affirming His approval of Abraham's unwavering faith.
Abraham, along with his son Ishmael, was also instructed by God to construct the Kaaba in Mecca, a sacred sanctuary for monotheistic worship.
Abraham's story is a profound testament to the concept of tawhid (the oneness of God) and the unwavering faith and submission required of believers.
