ABRAHAM
Abraham was born during the period of the persecutions of
ruler Nemrut who ordered all the children to be killed.
His mother gave birth to him in a cave, and he lived there
until he was ten years old.
He came out of the cave and went to his father’s house, and
began to fight Nemrut and the idols of the people’s temple.
When Abraham began to break the idols into pieces, Nemrut
took him to the castle on a hill, and threw him into the
fire.
After God’s command to the fire “O fire, be gentle to
Abraham, and keep him safe and cool”, the fire turned into
water, the wood turned into fish. Abraham then fell into a
beautiful garden filled with roses.
In Sanliurfa, the cave where Abraham was born (Ibrahim
Halilullah Dergahi) and the place where he fell into fire
(Halil-ur Rahman Lake) can be visited.
