Prophet Ibrāhīm ﷺ — known as the "Father of the Prophets" — is one of the greatest prophets in Islam. He was born in Ur (modern-day Iraq) into a family of idol-makers. From a young age, he rejected idol worship through pure reasoning, deducing that the stars, moon, and sun — all of which set — could not be his Lord. He concluded that only the Creator of all things deserved worship.
His father Āzar was an idol-maker and rejected him bitterly. Ibrāhīm ﷺ smashed the idols of his people and was thrown into a massive fire — but Allah commanded the fire to be "cool and safe" for him. He then migrated to Palestine and later Makkah, where with his son Ismā'īl ﷺ he built the Ka'bah — the first house of worship for Allah on earth.
He is the patriarch of three Abrahamic faiths. His lineage produced the greatest prophets: Ismā'īl ﷺ (ancestor of Muhammad ﷺ) and Isḥāq ﷺ (ancestor of Mūsā ﷺ, Dāwūd ﷺ, and 'Īsā ﷺ).
