Giving up what you know for what you don’t see is “ surrendering yourself to the well of God” and is the definition of “Islam”

Abraham good faithful so we must follows him to be a good believers

[reksubbn]

This guy is amazing. I wish I could listen to all his lectures at once to save time! One point I disagree though is that Abraham could have been just anyone. I believe God chose him because he was one of very few that actually believed there was only one God who created the earth and we needed to submit to that God. Most believed in many gods or idols or made themselves god as we are doing today. Apart from that he was a regular bloke.

Please forgive me for I am going to write comments as I, as a Muslim, and from a Muslims presepective. No disrespect, but at most love and respect to God first and to his servants and to all the readers.

And by the way and my first comment;
Abraham/ Ibrahim’s story with God started in Orr where he was born and lived UNTIL he went against an entire Idol worshiping society and started preaching against what they were worshiping. He even went against his family due to the same reason. Abraham was tossed in a great fire as a punishment for he destroyed some of the idols. By God’s grace he was saved from that fire. That when him and his nephew Lot decided to flee Orr. Abraham was around 16 years old. Being saved from the great fire was the first encounter Between God and Abraham. And no, Abraham was not an ordinary young man at the time. He was “chosen” by God. And unlike what some might believe, God doesn’t chose “ordinary” people.

How was Noah a failure towards the end of his life

[ahmednaji]

Abraham/ Ibrahim reached that level in the eyes of God for what he “surrendered” to /for God;
1- gave up his family as a teen and insisted on preaching against idol worshiping
2-was about to sacrifice his only son at the time.
3-built alters for God including “Ka’aba”, the holiest structure in Islam.

[ahmednaji]

Ibrahim was “ dis content with where God has put him” is your own fabrication “!! Ibrahim has gotten the status of mighty prophet didn’t come from nothing and that he is as an “ordinary guy” is also your fabrication. Ibrahim went against what was being practiced on his hometown of Orr. He preached against idol worshiping since he was 15 years old. So he was “discontent “ with what his people, including his family, were worshiping. He was driven out of Orr. In Hiram he continues preaching to people who worshiped starts. He was driven out of there too.

There is another option: accepting God then drifting away THEN asking for him to take over again. He makes sure you get it the next time around.
