Shaykh Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi says:
Session 1: Introduction to the Seminar
- Importance of Studying about Ibrahim (AS)
"This man, whom God Himself has praised in the Qur’an as His khalil, is the exemplar of perfected determination to know God, to be fully in His presence. This determination is expressed in what we may call, figuratively, the opening of various curtains (or veils):
- The Cultural Curtain: seeing through the world of his father and his people generally, who are worshippers of natural phenomena (his challenging and breaking of the idols, and demonstration of their falsity);
- The Natural Curtain: seeing through the scale and majesty of natural phenomena, which are impressive yet bounded within large conditions, like time and space, whereas the God that Ibrahim seeks is unbounded (his discontent with moon and stars and sun, “I love not those that set”);
- The Human Curtain: seeing through the fear of what the world or other people may do to him on account of his faith in God (the rightness of that faith is demonstrated when the fire (literal fire, and the fire of the human rage against him) is rendered powerless to harm him);"
