00:17Wa Alaikum As-Salaam

00:18I was waiting for you Baba

00:20You look so excited!

00:22Yes Baba, I really wanted to know what happened to the Prophet.

00:27Did the people throw him in fire?

00:29What happened to him?

00:31Haha! Alright, I will tell you the rest of the story now.

00:35Listen carefully!

00:37Bismillah

00:43Prophet Ibrahim and the Great Fire

00:50When people realized that it was Prophet Ibrahim who had destroyed the idols,

00:56they were really angry.

00:58They decided to burn him in the biggest fire anyone had seen before.

01:02First, they dug a deep hole to put the firewood.

01:07They gathered all the wood they could find and started building a fire.

01:11The people kept adding the woods for days and days and the fire grew stronger and stronger.

01:19It is said that the fire grew so strong that no one could go near it because of the heat.

01:25It was so tall that not even the birds could fly above it.

01:29Many people heard about this huge fire in Babylon and traveled to the city to witness this phenomenon.

01:38Then one day the people tied the hands and feet of Ibrahim and placed him on a catapult,

01:45so that he could be thrown into the fire.

01:50It was then an angel from heaven appeared before the Prophet and asked him if he wanted any wish to be granted.

01:58The Prophet could have easily asked the angel to save him from the fire, but he did not.

02:03I only wish for Allah to be pleased with me, he said.

02:11What followed was a miracle.

02:13When the Prophet landed in the fire, the fire suddenly got cold.

02:20It only burned the ropes that tied the Prophet.

02:24And no harm came to the Prophet.

02:30The Prophet sat there amidst the fire, as if he was sitting in a garden.

02:36He sat there and sang praises of Allah.

02:40The people couldn't see what was happening, so they waited for the fire to finish burning.

02:46And finally when the fire went out, the Prophet walked out of the fire with not a single burn in his body.

02:54The people were shocked to see this.

02:57This was a miracle!

02:59The God of Ibrahim must be the true God, some of them said.

03:03But most of them were still angry with the Prophet for destroying the idols.

03:08They decided to take the Prophet for a trial to the King's palace.

03:13The soldiers came and arrested the Prophet, and took him to the palace of King Nimrod.

03:19He was taken to the palace with his hands chained.

03:22Nimrod had heard that the Prophet had shattered the idols he worshipped.

03:28Tell me why you smashed the idols we worship?

03:31He asked the Prophet.

03:33They were false idols, they were not God, replied the Prophet.

03:37Then who is the true God? Nimrod asked.

03:41The Prophet politely replied,

03:42There is only one true God, Allah . He gives life and death.

03:49The King got angry when he heard the Prophet.

03:53He stood up angrily and said,

03:54I can give life and death too.

03:57Wait and I will show you.

03:59He asked his soldiers to bring two of his slaves to the court room.

04:04He asked the slaves to kill the first one.

04:08The guard on hearing the order, struck the sword and killed one of the slaves.

04:16You see, I can give death, said Nimrod proudly.

04:21Now kill the other one too, said Nimrod to the guard.

04:25But before the guard could strike the slave with his sword,

04:30He asked him to stop.

04:33He then shouted to the guard,

04:35Don't kill him, let him live.

04:38He then turned to the Prophet and said,

04:41I can give life too.

04:43You just saw that.

04:45The Prophet replied,

04:47Allah makes the sun rise from the east.

04:51Can you make the sun rise from the west?

04:53Can you do that?

04:55Nimrod was speechless.

04:56He was really angry with the Prophet for confronting him.

05:02Prophet Ibrahim called the people to worship Allah for a long long time.

05:11There were nobody willing to listen in Babylon,

05:14except for one man and a woman.

05:17The woman's name was Sarah,

05:19and later she became his wife.

05:21The man's name was Lut,

05:23who would later become a prophet as well.

05:27After years of calling people to Allah,

05:31the Prophet realized that nobody else was going to listen to his words.

05:35So he decided to migrate to another country.

05:39He wanted to spread the message of Allah in another nation.

05:43The Prophet then asked his father to join him,

05:47but he refused.

05:48The Prophet, the woman, and Lut then started their long long journey.

06:00They traveled through Syria, Palestine, and Egypt,

06:05calling out the people to Allah .

06:07They helped the poor they could find on the way.

06:09And they did many good deeds that made people happy.

06:17In the meantime, the Prophet Lut migrated to the Dead Sea and settled down there.

06:24And after a few months, the Prophet married Sarah.

06:29She was a good believer, and they wanted to have children,

06:32who would spread the message of Allah after their time.

06:36The Prophet and his wife traveled again for many days through the desert.

06:39One day, they happened to enter the territory of an evil king.

06:46The evil king came to know about the beautiful wife of the Prophet,

06:51and he wanted to take her.

06:53So he sent one of his soldiers to bring the Prophet to him.

06:59The soldier brought the Prophet before the king.

07:03Who is the lady accompanying you?

07:06Ask the evil king.

07:08The Prophet replied that she was his sister.

07:11The evil king then asked the Prophet to bring Sarah to his court.

07:16He said that he wanted to meet this beautiful woman

07:19that everyone in his kingdom was talking about.

07:24The Prophet went to his wife and said,

07:26The king wants to meet you.

07:28Do not ever tell him that you are my wife,

07:30because I have told him that you are my sister.

07:33The Prophet told his wife.

07:36When Sarah went to the king's palace,

07:38the king was struck by her beauty,

07:40and he tried to take hold of her with his hands.

07:45But the moment his hand got near Sarah,

07:48it became stiff and he could not move it.

07:52The king was scared and he requested Sarah,

07:55Please pray to Allah for me and I will never harm you.

07:59When Sarah prayed to Allah,

08:02his hands got cured miraculously.

08:05But the moment he realized that his hands were cured,

08:09the foolish king tried to take hold of Sarah again.

08:13And for the second time, his hands got stiff.

08:16The king couldn't move his hands at all.

08:20Please pray to Allah for me.

08:22I shall never harm you again, said the king.

08:26Sarah prayed to Allah again and his hands got cured,

08:29for the second time.

08:32This time the king realized that Sarah was no ordinary woman.

08:37So he gave Sarah a gift.

08:38He gave her one of his Egyptian maid servant,

08:41and her name was Hajar.

08:45When Sarah returned home,

08:47the Prophet asked her what happened.

08:50Allah taught that evil king a lesson,

08:53and he gave me, and he gave me a maid.

08:56Hajar replied Sarah.

08:58Years passed and the Prophet grew old.

09:05His hair grayed.

09:08But he continued to call people back to Allah .

09:13Sarah too had grown old,

09:15and she realized that she would no longer be able to give birth to a child.

09:19So she asked the Prophet to marry their servant Hajar.

09:26She then prayed to Allah to bless them with a child.

09:34After a few months, Hajar gave birth to a child,

09:37and they named him Ismail.

09:43By now, the Prophet had grown very old.

09:48One day the Prophet woke up.

09:51He felt like Allah wanted him to do something.

09:54So he went to Hajar.

09:57Get Ismail, he said.

09:59Get ready for a long journey.

10:01Ibrahim and his wife, with the baby in her arms,

10:07kept traveling for a long long time.

10:11They walked for many days till they reached the dry valley of the desert,

10:15near the Al Marwa mountain.

10:20There were no fruits, no trees, no food, and no water either.

10:26No signs of any life could be found in the valley.

10:31The Prophet then left his wife and son with a small amount of food and water.

10:36This was hardly enough for both of them to last for two days.

10:40The Prophet then turned around and started walking away.

10:46His wife hurried after him.

10:48Where are you going?

10:50Leaving us in this barren valley!

10:52She cried to him.

10:53But the Prophet did not answer her, and kept walking away.

10:58She called him again, but the Prophet remained silent and walked away.

11:03Finally she understood that the Prophet was not acting on his own.

11:08She realized that Allah had commanded him to do this.

11:12Did Allah command you to do so? she asked him.

11:15The Prophet shook his head and continued walking.

11:24Then his great wife said,

11:27We are not going to be lost,

11:29since Allah who commanded you is with us.

11:32The Prophet was very sad,

11:35as he had left his wife and his son

11:38in a barren desert,

11:40where there were no other people.

11:41He prayed to Allah to give his wife and son enough food.

11:48And he asked Allah to send people with good hearts to them.

11:55Oh no!

11:57Why did the Prophet leave his wife and son?

12:00Why did he do that?

12:01It was because Allah had commanded him.

12:05What happened next?

12:07I will tell you the remaining story tomorrow.

12:10Ok Baba.

12:12Before I leave, let me ask you a few questions.

12:15Are you ready?

12:17I am ready.

12:18Now tell me why was the Prophet thrown into the fire?

12:22Here are the options.

12:24Option A, because he had smashed the idols they worshipped.

12:28Option B, he stole their idols.

12:31And Option C, he bared the idols.

12:34That's an easy one.

12:36The Prophet was thrown in fire,

12:38because he smashed the idols the people worshipped.

12:41Masha Allah, that's the right answer.

12:44Thank you Baba.

12:45How did the Prophet challenge King Nimrud?

12:49The Prophet asked the king if he could make the sun rise from the west.

12:53Isn't that right?

12:55That's right again.

12:57Now tell me who accompanied the Prophet when he left Babylon.

13:01The Prophet's cousin Lut joined him.

13:03And another believer Sarah too accompanied him.

13:07That's very good.

13:09What was the name of the Prophet's first son?

13:12It was Ishmael .

13:13Masha Allah, that's right again.

13:17It's time for me to leave.

13:19In sha Allah, I'll tell you the remaining story tomorrow.

13:43How was his therapist?

13:44How was the prophet to have the body?

13:45How was his therapist in the world?

13:46What is his therapist in the world?

13:48I've been a kid, but it was a kid.

13:49I've been babbling all the way through his life.

13:51When she's a kid, I've been first.

13:53So, she's not the wife, that's right.

13:55She's not the only one who's been in the world.

13:57So, she's not the one who's been in the world.

13:59What did she ever hear the world?

14:01I was in the world.

14:03She's like, I'm going to have a card.

14:04She's like, I'm going to have to go out.
