The Story of Abraham and his Family
Perfect Wedding
Abraham never gave up hope. For he who despairs of the mercy of Allah is only a disbeliever. He did not want to leave his people to move to another area. Moreover, Allah has not commanded it.
He still remembered one of his friends who had never been invited to enter the religion of Tawhid. He knew that this friend hated the behavior of those who worshiped idols. But confusion with the way of life that must be taken.
"Maybe he can embrace my religion" thought Prophet Ibrahim.
The sand continues to rise in hot temperatures. The sun shone brightly over the head of Prophet Abraham. He met one of his friends. His friend was from among successful traders. It looks like a house whose building is very large. Dozens of stables of horses, cows, goats and camels lined up neatly. The people around the building asked about Ibrahim's arrival.
Then in front of her luxurious and magnificent friend's house looked a beautiful young woman. The woman smiled and went into the house next to her.
Suddenly a middle-aged man came out of the door and called the prophet Abraham.
“Hai friend...how are you?”
“Good.”
“Let's go into my humble home.” The man embraced Ibrahim's hand tightly.
Prophet Ibrahim entered the house slowly which made Prophet Ibrahim amazed. All the interior is luxurious and classy. The building is made of selected stone with marble floors specially imported from Greece. Then a man thought to be a slave served food and drink dishes along with expensive spoons and forks.
“What are the requirements?” the man sat down.
Abraham opened the conversation.
Prophet Ibrahim recounted the events surrounding the habits of his people who like to worship idols.
“Just go to the core and arrival” intent
“This I want to ask your opinion about the actions of the Babylonians who love to worship statues. You used to hate him so much”
“Iya I was also astonished. And still hate him to this day.Why did they commit such foolish acts. The statue cannot speak and is not God. They created their own god"
“Friends. I have glad tidings that the true God is the God of the universe. I was told to tell this truth to man. I have been made a prophet to the Babylonians. For the Babylonians to abandon the act of worshiping idols. And believe that there is no God but Allah”
“There is evidence of the revelation you received from your Lord?
“There. Ini” Prophet Ibrahim showing revelation sheet. His friend immediately stated that he was following the Abrahamic religion.
“So there's a woman next to this house. Who's she?"
“Oh he's my son”
“Do you like?”
The man awakened the Prophet Abraham.
“Iya.”
“If you like you can ask for it. I'll give you a friend”
“Seriously?Do I deserve it?”
“You deserve. Moreover, you are a prophet”
Prophet Ibrahim was happy.
“Siti Sarah!”
A girl came to Abraham's friend. He lowered his head.
“How did you respond if Ibrahim proposed to you?”
The girl was silent a thousand words. Ibrahim's friend knew with his son's attitude that meant agreeing to it. Then Abraham's friend invited his daughter to talk to him. Then his friend went back to Abraham.
“He agrees and is ready to marry you”

The above picture simply shows that Prophet Abraham married Lady Sarah. Regarding how the process of encounter and introduction until marriage is not explained clearly by the Quran and Hadith. Prophet Ibrahim could have been betrothed earlier with Siti Sarah. Or someone brought them both together. Only Allah is All-Knowing.
##
On the day blessed by Allah, there was a marriage between Prophet Abraham and Lady Sarah who came from a rich family. Her friend became a guardian for Siti Sarah.
“Yes Allah bless the marriage of Prophet Ibrahim and Siti Sarah” said Ibrahim's friend closed the wedding.
The household of Prophet Ibrahim and Siti Sarah was harmonious. Abraham loved Sarah very much. Siti Sarah loved Prophet Abraham. The beauty of Siti Sarah's face is incomparable. The beauty of the face physically and inwardly is very stunning. Which made many people amazed. Fortunately, Prophet Abraham who got Siti Sarah beautiful and obedient to him. If likened to the beauty of Siti Sarah is ranked second after Siti Hawa, the wife of Prophet Adam is the most beautiful in the world.
Siti Sarah strongly supports the activities of Prophet Abraham in preaching the religion of monotheism to the entire population of Babylon. Because he also strongly condemns the act of worshiping idols which he calls stupid and pagan actions. Siti Sarah also acknowledged Abraham's prophethood and followed the religion brought by Abraham the righteous.
Time has passed, for many years Prophet Ibrahim and Siti Sarah married. But the signs of pregnancy are not yet visible. Allah tested the patience of the Prophet Abraham and Siti Sarah where until now they have not been given children. This made Abraham pray to Allah more often in the morning and evening for the gift of a child.
