Ibrahim (Abraham) إبراهيم
عليه السلام
Ibrahim عليه السلام challenged idolatry with reason, courage and complete trust in Allah. Allah saved him from the fire, guided his migrations and made him an imam for humanity. With Isma‘il he raised the foundations of the Ka‘bah and prayed for a faithful community. His life is central to tawhid, sacrifice and the shared prophetic family.
