The birth of a Great Prophet {PROPHET IBRAHIM}A.s.w Ibrahim was born in a house of idolaters, in the kingdom of Babylon. His father Aazar was a well known idol sculptor that his people worshipped. As a young child, Ibrahim used to watch his father sculpting these idols from stones or wood. When his father was done with them, Ibrahim would use them as toys, riding on their backs, and kicking them at times. Then after a while, he would see these same statues in the temple, and people prostrating in front of them! Ibrahim asked his father: Why do you take these toys to the temple? His father said: They are statues that represent our gods. We worship them, we ask favors from them, and we offer them presents. Ibrahims mind rejected this idea, and he felt a repulsion towards the idols.
