The Story of the Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh)
It was a dark time. Many people worshiped celestial bodies, or idols. Allah had gifted Ibrahim (pbuh) with divine intelligence early on. He recognized that the sun, the moon, and even the starts we’re allotted only a small appointed time each day. He concluded that they must be servants, not Gods.
Ibrahim (pbuh) also began to question the idols that his family worshiped. He could not understand how the stone figures could be gods if they could not even speak. He decided that even though Allah was unseen, that all of creation served One God. The one god that made the earth and the sky and appointed a time for each. The one god that gave life and also took it away.
His lack of belief turned to anger. He despised the stone and wood carving's that fooled his people into worshipping them. He was repulsed at the way his people would enter the temple, how they would bow and beg before theses images of stone and wood. Ibrahim (pbuh) was satisfied with his theory of One god and began to preach the message. Trying to convince others to leave the worship of their idols.
