THE FOUNDING OF BECCA
Becca is the early name for Mecca
Many years before this story takes place Prophet Abraham married Lady
Sarah. Prophet Abraham was from the city of Hara in Iraq and it was there
that he destroyed the idols in the temple. The priests were outraged and
determined to kill him so they built a huge bonfire and placed Abraham in
the middle. However, Abraham remained calm and surrendered himself
totally to the will of Allah and trusted Him.
As the fire was lit, Allah in His Mercy turned to Abraham and commanded
the fire to burn with coolness so that it would not burn him; not even a
single hair of Abraham was scorched! The onlookers were amazed, when,
after the fire had consumed itself, Abraham walked away unharmed.
However, even after witnessing this very great miracle, they were so
arrogant that they still refused to abandon their idolatry!
