The Scriptures

He is said to have had three (): 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) [better known by his later name 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤄𐤌 (Abaraham)], 𐤇𐤓𐤍 (Kharan), and 𐤍𐤇𐤅𐤓 (Nakhauar 2). The family lived in 𐤀𐤅𐤓 (Aauar) of the 𐤊𐤔𐤃𐤉 (Kashaday). One of his grandchildren was 𐤋𐤅𐤈 (Lauath), whose (), 𐤇𐤓𐤍 (Kharan), had died at 𐤀𐤅𐤓 (Aauar).

In the Book of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahauashaā), in his final speech to the 𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋𐤉 (Yasharaalay) leaders assembled at 𐤔𐤊𐤌 (Shakam), 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahauashaā) recounts the history of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (Yahauah) / 𐤉𐤄𐤉𐤄 (Yahayah)’s formation of the 𐤉𐤔𐤓𐤀𐤋𐤉 (Yasharaalay) nation, beginning with “Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, [who] lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.”

The Journey

𐤕𐤓𐤇 (Tarakh) took his family and left 𐤀𐤅𐤓 (Aauar) of the 𐤊𐤔𐤃𐤉 (Kashaday) to move to the land of 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 (Kanaān). He set out for 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 (Kanaān) but stopped in the city of 𐤇𐤓𐤍 (Kharan) along the way, where he died. After his death, it was 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) who picked up the torch to continue his ()’s quest, which he himself was unable to achieve.

The significance of his not reaching 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 (Kanaān) was a reflection of his character, a man who was unable to go “all the way”. Although on a journey in the right direction, he fell short of arriving at the divine destination—in contrast to 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram), who did follow through and achieved the divine goal and was not bound by his ()’s idolatrous past. 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram)’s following The Most High’s command to leave his (), thus absolved him from the 𐤌𐤑𐤅𐤄 (matsauah) of honoring parents, and as 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤄𐤌 (Abaraham), he would go on to create a new lineage distinct from his ancestors.

Islamic Traditions

In Islam, 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram)’s () is believed to have been a disbelieving man, due to his refusal to listen to the constant advice of his (). In fact, the earliest story involving 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) in the Quran / 𐤒𐤅𐤓𐤀𐤍 (Qauaraan) is his discussion with his (). The 𐤒𐤅𐤓𐤀𐤍 (Qauaraan) states that the people of 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) were idolaters. When 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) was a young boy, he decided to finally teach his community a lesson. He said to himself that he had a plan for their idols, whilst they would be gone away.

The 𐤒𐤅𐤓𐤀𐤍 (Qauaraan) goes on to narrate that 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram) subsequently broke the idols, all except the largest, which he kept intact. After the incident of the idol wreckage, the people of 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram), while having admitted their fault, are said to have ignored 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram)’s warning and instead retaliated by throwing him into a fire and exclaiming “protect your gods”. Although the natural nature of fire is one of intense heat, The Most High commanded the flame to be cool and peaceful for 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram). 𐤀𐤁𐤓𐤌 (Abaram), as a result, remained unhurt both physically and spiritually, having survived the fire of persecution.
