Sometime after Allah saved Prophet Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi as-salām) from the fire, he met a proud king named Namrūd, who ruled Babylon.

The king was powerful and arrogant. He claimed he was a god, but in truth, only Allah is the true Lord

Prophet Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi as-salām) said to him, “My Lord is the One Who gives life and causes death.”

Namrūd replied, “I also give life and cause death.”

He called for two men - one he set free and the other he killed - thinking this proved he had power like Allah.

Then Prophet Ibrāhīm (ʿalayhi as-salām) said,

“Indeed, Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, so bring it from the west.”

Namrūd was left speechless and had no reply.

Allah does not guide those who do wrong.
