Da'wah and Du'as of Ibrahim عليه السلام

In Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah ﷻ tells us that no matter what test Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام was presented with, he fulfilled it every single time (2:124). Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام was a pillar of strength and sacrifice. From standing up to his community to proclaim the oneness of Allah, to leaving his family in an uninhabited valley, to preparing to sacrifice his own beloved son at Allah’s command—Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام was always ready to answer Allah’s call. We follow his example even today. When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha, he said that is the tradition of our spiritual forefather, Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام. When we complete all of the rites and rituals of Hajj, we are following in his footsteps. We invite you all to join us on Thursday (July 30th), which is the 9th of Dhul Hijjah and the Day of Arafah, for a very special webinar. Our instructors will be sharing reflections on the legacy of the great Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام.

Another special webinar will be hosted by iMuslimah and it is only 2 weeks away! Register for 'Emotional Well-Being" on August 9th from 12-2pm (sisters only) with Umm Eesaa.
