The Story of Abraham and his Family

Farewell to Forever

Prophet Ibrahim was a very brave and intelligent young man. Which is evidenced by his courageous action against the tyranny of King Namrudz. After the preaching strategy to the Babylonians and King Namrud was overtly unsuccessful. Then he changed his strategy in preaching. He does the dawah strategy secretly. In relatives, friends, friends, close acquaintances whom he met Prophet Ibrahim invited him to follow his religion. The tawhid religion. There is no god but Allah.

Refusing to worship idols. And to confess that God is God.

At night. Silence has swept through Babylon. Crickets are screaming. Only the sound of the clock ticking.

Two people sitting on a chair talking to each other.

“I mean bring uncle here to invite uncle to follow Allah” religion

“What religion ? and what religion is it?”

“Religion that sanctifies Allah swt. That the statues, the stars and the King are not God. They are God's creatures. And the true God is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth

Uncle Prophet Ibrahim began to nod.

But in his heart he rejected the power of what Prophet Abraham said.

“Try uncle view. The statue can talk. Can it provide benefits or harm? No right? Even the statue if it is burned or damaged cannot save itself. The statue is not God. God is the One who has incredible power”

It was silent for a while until it was solved again by a statement.

“So you mean bring me here for that?”

“Iya. Uncle. This is the truth that Allah revealed to me as His messenger.”

“Sorry. I can't do it because for me idolatry has become a tradition for our ancestors, I'm afraid my family excommunicated me for not worshipping idols. Again forgive me.” He left the prophet Abraham.

It did not feel like for decades, he did proselytizing. Feels very long. Prophet Ibrahim had fulfilled Alalh swt's command in calling man to virtue. But only rejection and opposition were obtained from his people.

In public places as the center of crowds such as markets, squares and city park squares, Prophet Ibrahim always invites the inhabitants of Babylon to think logically and clearly. They should leave the idol worship. Which is useless and useful. They should worship Allah, who made them and the heavens and the earth.

The actions of Prophet Abraham as received a strong rejection from the Babylonian population. The inhabitants were tired of Abraham's efforts to invite the Babylonians to abandon their culture in worshiping idols. Acts to kill Abraham continued to be carried out by the Babylonians secretly and openly. Allah always saved Abraham

The act of Prophet Abraham who still preached and invited to leave the worship of the statue to the inhabitants of Babylon was reported by some Babylonian leaders to King Namrudz. That made King Namrudz angry and ordered to capture Ibrahim back alive or dead.

But Abraham surrendered to Allah. Hasbunallah wani'mal deputy. It is one example of a prayer often uttered by Prophet Abraham. Sufficient is Allah as my helper.

Unrelenting and desperate, the Prophet Abraham continued to invite the people of Babylon to embrace the religion of monotheism and leave the worship of a false idol. And do not forget the Prophet Abraham also invited his beloved father to leave his statue as his invitation pepper everyone.

Ibrahim walked towards the Azar residence. The knocking of the door was not welcomed by his beloved father. On the third knock, the door opened.

“What's up, Ibrahim. Would you like to lecture me again with your new religion?”

“Dadies. I love dad very much. I want to save Dad. Come to a religion that only shuns Allah. The beloved father you have been doing all this time is not right. The statue does not benefit or harm in the slightest”

“Ibrahim stop saying. Go right now. I don't want you to come here again just to hear your rant"

Abraham left his beloved father's house forever. Because it is felt that his beloved father has closed himself to meet him just because of the religion of monotheism. He knew there was no hope for him to awaken his beloved father. The door was closed, and so witnessed the denial and rejection of the Babylonians.

Abraham decided to go and settle in a place far from Babylon. To carry out and spread the religion of Tawhid in a new place. Because all this time, he practiced the religion of monotheism revelation from Allah swt always get interference and oppression from his people and the army of King Namrudz who was cruel.
