Ibraheem AS logic is so pure. Rather then try to prove the greatness of Allah by declaring his virtues and that only he should be worshiped, he simply asked: 'What suspicion do you have of the lord of the worlds?' . Meaning what deficiency do you believe he has that you turn away from his worship and worship these false goods? This questions is more powerful then a 45 minute lecture as the listener wont be able to think of any flaws in Allah and will come to realize he has no excuse to worship other than him. And this is part of the wisdom Allah put in Ibraheem at such a young age. We ask Allah for wisdom as Ibrahim asked in suraah Ashurraa when he said   'My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous. (83) 26-The Poets .  #logic #ibraheem #shirk

فجزينا إبراهيم -عليه السلام- على طاعته إيانا، وإخلاصه توحيد ربه، ومفارقته دين قومه المشركين بالله، بأن رفعنا درجته في عليين، وآتيناه أجره في الدنيا، ووهبنا له أولادًا خصصناهم بالنبوة، وذرية شرفناهم منا بالكرامة، وفضلناهم على العالمين. الطبري:11/507.
السؤال: من ترك شيئًا لله عوضه الله خيرًا، وضح ذلك من الآية.

فإن العلم يرفع الله به صاحبه فوق العباد درجات؛ خصوصًا العالم العامل المعلم؛ فإنه يجعله الله إمامًا للناس بحسب حاله؛ تُرمَقُ أفعاله، وتُقتفى آثاره، ويُستضاء بنوره، ويُمشى بعلمه. السعدي:263.
السؤال: ما سبب رفع إبراهيم على قومه درجات؟

أي: نرفع درجات من نشاء بالعلم، والفهم، والفضيلة، والعقل؛ كما رفعنا درجات إبراهيم حتى اهتدى، وحاج قومه في التوحيد. البغوي:2/41.
السؤال: كيف يُرفع العبد درجات؟

God is He who raises and exalts. The Prophet (pbuh) said: 'Whoever humbles himself to God, God will raise him.' (Muslim) We must remember that there is a never a moment when we are obeying God Almighty except that we are elevated, and this should comfort us when we encounter opposition from other people. However, sometimes people act in a contradictory way. Their obedience to God Almighty causes them to be arrogant—is this a person that God Almighty raises? Remember that we are told that a person will not enter Paradise if he has an atom’s worth of arrogance in his heart. So even our obedience to God should come with humility and a feeling of gratefulness.

The 99 Names of Allah

This wonderful journey of a great human being is really touching. We may experience bits and pieces in our journey back to Allah even as Muslims, however, you want to develop a deeper relationship with these ayat then perhaps ask someone who lived through an identical experience from misguidance to guidance, ask a convert.

Alhamdulellah there are tons of videos online of converts telling their amazing stories but nothing matches talking to an actual convert and feeling their plight and perhaps the continued struggle with parents and family.

Talking to a convert and hearing their plight is much needed support by itself, and perhaps a genuine relationship is born outside the buzz of convert stories that usually end with very little support.

Converts to many immigrants and born muslims are like Ansar (supporters) to the Muhajereen (immigrants), they’re crucial to our success as a community, and a litmus test for our faith, sincerity, steadfastness, and commitment to the deen

تلك قرة عين بلا شك .... تبارك الله عليها
