THE STORY OF THE PROPHET ABRAHAM - Who Enlivens Creatures and Deadly Creatures

Allah Almighty gave instructions to Ibrahim. Ibrahim was appointed a Prophet and Apostle. He was given revelation so that true beliefs about God were not just conclusions, but came from God's decree.

Allah SWT teaches that besides the real world there is also a supernatural world. Every human who dies will be resurrected in the afterlife. Prophet Ibrahim, who was determined to preach to the shirk. Prophet Ibrahim was actually sure about the day of vengeance in the hereafter. Then the Prophet Ibrahim wanted to get more tangible instructions and convince his heart. He pleaded with Allah SWT to be shown to him how Allah SWT revived dead creatures.

Prophet Ibrahim prayed, "My Lord, show me how You have brought to life dead beings."

Allah SWT answered with a question, "Do you not believe it, Ibrahim?"

Ibrahim replied, "I have believed, but so that my heart is more confident."

Allah SWT ordered Prophet Ibrahim to take four birds. Every bird is cut into pieces and its body is separated. Small pieces of the four birds were crushed and then made into four pieces. Each pile is placed at the top of four distant hills.

Then the Prophet Ibrahim was ordered to summon the destroyed birds. With the permission of Allah SWT and His power, there came four birds that flew intact and lived again as usual and the four birds approached Prophet Ibrahim. Now the Prophet Ibrahim saw for himself how Allah Almighty could revive His dead creatures as Allah created them from something that did not exist. Now the prophet Abraham's belief about the power of Allah, the Most Enlightening and the Most Deadly, is increasing.

Surah Al-Baqarah verse 260:

وَإِذۡ قَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِ‍ۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيۡفَ تُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰۖ قَالَ أَوَ لَمۡ تُؤۡمِنۖ تُؤۡمِنۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطۡمَئِنَّ قَلۡبِيۖ قَالَ فَخُذۡ أَرۡبَعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلطَّيۡرِ فَصُرۡهُنَّ إِلَيۡكَ ثُمَّ ٱجۡعَلۡ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٖ مِّنۡهُنَّ جُزۡءٗا ثُمَّ ٱدۡعُهُنَّ يَأۡتِينَكَ سَعۡيٗاۚ وَٱعۡلَمۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ  ٢٦٠

[Allah] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."
