@Hadithoftheday Iraq.
Ibraheem A.S was from "Ur", which is now part of southern Iraq.
In his time, the city of Ur was a flourishing industrial and business, centre. The people who lived there were a community of idol-worshippers, ruled by a proud, tyrannical king Nimrud.

@Hadithoftheday Ibraheem A.S was such an honoured Prophet as he was described as Khalil-ullah – the Friend of Allah (Qur’an 4:125).
Allah says in Qur'an:
And Allah took Ibraheem as an intimate friend."
(Qur'an. An-Nisaa 4: Verse 125)

@Hadithoftheday Many Qur’anic verses revealed concerning Ibraheem A.S suggest that his outstanding importance and high rank among prophets was because of the purity and sincerity of his relationship with his Lord, to whom he totally surrendered his will.

@Hadithoftheday The greatness of Ibrahim’s A.S standing with Allah is confirmed in a number of hadiths. The Prophet ﷺ referred to him as “the best of creation” (Muslim) and mentioned him as one of the prophets whose intercession the believers would seek on the Day of Judgement (Bukhari).

@Hadithoftheday Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also reported meeting Ibrahim A.S in one of the heavens during the Night Journey Me’raj, saying that he found Ibrahim A.S seated in al-Bait Al-Ma’mur, the Populated House, in which 70,000 angels pray in successive groups never to return to it again (Bukhari)

@Hadithoftheday Ibraheem A.S was singled out as the exemplar of al-dina hanifa, the path of belief and worship of Allah and His absolute attributes (Qur’an 3:67).
Allah chose him to be His close friend, one of the most impressive indications of Ibrahim’s A.S high rank (Qur’an 4:125).

@Hadithoftheday Ibraheem A.S ranks among the five greatest prophets, ul-al-azm, with Nuh A.S, Musa A.S, Isa A.S and Muhammad ﷺ (Qur’an 42:13; 33:7)
Due to the depth of his faith, Allah made Ibrahim A.S one of the greatest religious figures of all times.
