The story of Ibrahim (Abraham) opens with his rejection of idol worship. He said to his father, Azar, "Do you take idols as gods? Indeed, I see you and your people in clear error" (Qur'an 6:74). Then Allah showed Ibrahim the wonders of the dominion of the heavens and the earth, that he might be among the certain (6:75). When night grew dark, he saw a star and said โ testing his people โ "Is this my Lord?" But when it set, he said, "I do not love those that set" (6:76). When he saw the moon rising, he said, "Is this my Lord?" But when it set, he said, "If my Lord does not guide me, I will surely be among the people gone astray" (6:77). Then when he saw the sun rising, he said, "Is this my Lord? This is greater." But when it set, he said, "O my people, indeed I am free of what you associate with Allah. I have turned my face toward the One who created the heavens and the earth, inclining to truth, and I am not of the polytheists" (6:78-79). Reflection: Ibrahim teaches that honest reason refuses to worship anything that sets, changes, and is powerless โ and is led instead to the eternal Creator.
