The story begins with the introduction of Prophet Ibrahim Alaihissalam, who plays a vital role in Islam. He was born in the Kingdom of Babylon and was blessed with wisdom from a young age. As a child, Ibrahim questioned his father, a sculptor, about the idols he created, and his father replied that they represented their gods.
Ibrahim's curiosity led him to search for the true God, and he eventually realized that Allah was the only true God. He decided to leave his home and spread the message to his people, calling them back to Allah.
However, the people were resistant to Ibrahim's message, and they became angry with him. Ibrahim then came up with a plan to show them that the idols were not real gods. He smashed all the idols in the temple, leaving only the largest one intact, and hung an axe around its neck.
The people were shocked and outraged, and they decided to punish Ibrahim by burning him in a massive fire. Despite the danger, Ibrahim remained steadfast in his faith. The story ends with the promise of a continuation, where Ibrahim's fate will be revealed.
