And that is exactly what they did.
They lit a fire, a fire so huge that
even the birds in the sky could not
bear it.
And with a heave and a tremendous
ho, they threw lbrahim headlong
into the very center of it.
But Ibrahim [a] was not afraid, not
afraid at all, for he knew that Allah
has power over all things and that
He protects his all faithful servants.
Allah helped Ibrahim [a] and said to
the fire, “
O Fire, become cooI and
safe for Ibrahim!
.”
And so it was. The fire became cool
and safe. The people could not
believe what they saw. The fire
which was so hot that even they
could not approach was not burning
Ibrahim [a], not even a single hair
on him.
