5. Hazrat Ibrahim (Prophet Abraham)
The story of Hazrat Ibrahim, also known as Prophet Abraham, is one of faith and divine intervention. When Ibrahim challenged the idol-worshipping practices of his people, including his own father, he was met with fierce opposition. His rejection of idols led to a decree by the king, Nimrod, that Ibrahim should be burned alive as punishment for his defiance. A massive fire was prepared, and Ibrahim was thrown into it. However, by Allah’s command, the fire became cool and safe for Ibrahim, and he emerged unscathed. This miraculous event demonstrated the power of faith and the protection Allah provides to the righteous. This story is often cited as an example of unwavering faith in the face of persecution and is revered in Islamic tradition.
6. Hazrat Ismael (Prophet Ishmael)
The story of Hazrat Ismael’s sacrifice is a powerful testament to faith and obedience. In this story, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is tested by Allah with a command to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismael. Ibrahim prepares to carry out the command, but at the moment of sacrifice, Allah intervenes and provides a ram to be sacrificed in Ismael’s place. This act of submission to Allah’s will is commemorated by Muslims around the world during the festival of Eid al-Adha.
