Frequently Asked

What is the story of Prophet Ibrahim in the Quran?

Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is depicted in the Quran as a steadfast monotheist who rejected idolatry and called his people to worship Allah alone, facing trials such as being thrown into a fire from which Allah saved him. He is known for his obedience, including the command to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS), which was a test of faith ultimately resolved by Allah providing a ram instead, as mentioned in Surah As-Saffat (37:102-107). His story emphasizes themes of submission and trust in Allah.

Prophet Musa (AS) was chosen by Allah to deliver the Children of Israel from the oppression of Pharaoh, receiving miracles like the staff turning into a serpent and parting the sea, as detailed in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:49-61) and Surah Ta-Ha (20). He confronted Pharaoh with signs from Allah, leading to the exodus and the revelation of the Torah on Mount Sinai. His narrative highlights Allah's mercy, justice, and the consequences of disbelief.
