How to Spend your Summer Vacation Story of Prophet Ibrahim (alayhi salaam) When he gave them this argument and the argument was: How can you worship a god that cannot even defend himself? This is what you call a religion? How can you worship a statue, a rock, a stone? It can’t even talk and can’t even speak. When he gave them this argument, they were completely dumbfounded and couldn’t respond. A little kid stumped them. They couldn’t respond, and they had a private meeting. What do we do? How can we respond? Then they say, Well you have to make an example. We have to persecute him. We have to kill him so nobody else does this. And so the brave men that they were, they gathered together to kill a thirteen-year old innocent child. They built a huge fire, as you all know. And they told him, If you admit and say you were wrong, we will spare you. If you admit you were wrong and return to our religion, you will live. Ibrahim (alayhi salaam), despite his age, stood his ground and said, Allah will protect me. My Lord will protect me. When he was taken and thrown into the fire, Allah from above the seven heavens commanded the fire, Be a coolness and be a comfort for Ibrahim. Ibrahim’s own father was one of the idol makers and one of those who earned a business selling idols. He was one of the main guys in the industry, and he didn’t want to lose his business. His son is preaching a doctrine that will make him bankrupt. His son is preaching tawhid, la ilaha illAllah. His own father says to him, Get out of here! You have no business remaining in my house! I am not going to take care of you! Ibrahim (alayhi salaam) says, Ya abati (my dear father), I am coming to you with guidance. My dear father, how can you worship a false god that can’t even hear and see? My dear father, don’t worship Shaytan. My dear father, Allah is forgiving and merciful. My dear father, my dear father, my dear father. His father says, If you don’t shut up, I will kick you out and stone you to death! This is Ibrahim’s father speaking to him. If you don’t stop doing this, I’m going to stone you to death! What was Ibrahim’s response? He says, May peace be with you, my dear father. I will continue asking Allah to guide you. (To be continued In Sha Allah)
