Introduction

As a child, Syedna Hazrat Ibrahim's father would ask him to sell idols. However, Syedna Hazrat Ibrahim was a true believer in Allah.

You are praying to idols that cannot even save themselves, let alone help you!"

The Punishment

Despite Hazrat Ibrahim’s logical reasoning, the King was furious and ordered that he be burned alive. The people gathered wood and lit a massive fire.
