14. The Prophet Abraham

14 – 72 – 52 – 7 

Ibrahim------The Prophet Abraham 


1 This Book is revealed to bring mankind out of darkness into light. 
All Rasools spoke the language of their own people.
The Prophet Musa was sent to lead his people out of
darkness into light. 


2 If all the dwellers of earth become nonbelievers, it makes no
difference to Allah. 
Response of previous nations to the Rasools Dailogue between the Rasools and their nations
Let the believers put their trust in Allah.


3 Allah punishes the wrongdoers & blesses those who dread His eminence.
Allah has based the creation of heavens and earth on Truth. 


4 Shaitân has no power over human beings - he only invites and
people follow. 
Greetings in Paradise will be 'Peace'. Example of a "good word" and a "bad word". 


5 Those who show ingratitude towards Allah's favors shall be cast into Hell.
Allah has given you countless favors. 


6 The prayer of the Prophet Ibrâheem for the city of Makkah and its residents.
The prayer of the Prophet Ibrâheem which is made
a part of Muslims five daily prayers. 


7 Never think that Allah is unaware of the unjust, or that He
will ever break His promise made to His Rasools. Allah is the One and Only God.

11. The Prophet Hood

11 – 52 – 123 – 10 

Hud------The Prophet Hood 


1 Teachings of the Qur'an. 

Allah is the Sustainer of all creatures. 


2 Mankind is ever ungrateful to Allah except the believers.
The Qur'an is not forged by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). 

The People of the Book (Jews and Christians) are of two kinds:
those who can see the Truth, and those who choose not to. 


3 Nûh's address to his people.
Nûh's people challenged him and asked for the scourge
of Allah. 


4 Allah commanded Nûh to build an ark. 
Allah commanded Nûh to embark and gather on board the
believers and a pair from every species. 

Dialogue between Nûh and his son. 
Dialogue between Nûh and Allah regarding Nuh’s son. 


5 The Prophet Hûd's address to his people, their disbelief and its
consequences. 

6 The Prophet Sâleh's address to his people, their disbelief and its
consequences. 

7 Good news for the Prophet Ibrâheem: he will have a son
(Isaac) and beyond him a grandson (Jacob). 

The Prophet Lût's address to his people, their disbelief and its
consequences. 


8 The Prophet Shu'aib's address to his people who were cheating
in their business transactions. 

Their negative response and its consequences. 

9 Fate of Fir‘aun and his chiefs who were warned but they gave
no heed. 


10 Differences arose about Torah given to Musa for his
followers' lack of belief. 

Virtues remove evils, Allah does not let the reward of the
righteous be wasted. 

Freedom of choice given to mankind is the Will of Allah.

Eid al Adha Mubarak 2014

Eid al-Adha celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismail (Ishmael)a as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a Lamb to sacrifice instead.
