Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) Part I

Last week during halaqah, we began to talk about the life of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). Please watch the lecture of Prophet Ibrahim by Sheikh Shady that is posted below. We took a lot of important information from this lecture. Some lessons to learn from Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) so far:
- Respect your parents (even if they are non-believers)
- It is important to stick to your morals and stand up for what is right
- Whenever you give your heart to Allah, He will not let you down
- On the surface, sometimes what might look like a punishment might be a blessing from Allah.
- Remember that everything is from Allah and without him nothing can happen. Even when being thrown into the fire, when Ibrahim (A.S) was asked if he needed assistance from Angel Jibrael, the Prophet Ibrahim replied "Not from you. Only Allah can help me." We always need to remember that although Allah has given us different means of aid in this dunya, ultimately everything is from Allah and He is the one who we need to thank for everything.
