Juz by Juz: Ibrahim and the King

Juz by Juz: Ibrahim and the King is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children tell two stories from the Qur'an about Allah's power over life and death: Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the proud king, and the man who was brought back after a hundred years.

In Ibrahim's time there was a king who thought he was like Allah. He said he could give life and cause death, and to prove it he had one man killed and let another go free. Ibrahim answered the king with a clear proof, without a quarrel. He calmly said: Allah brings the sun up from the east, so you bring it up from the west. The king had no answer.

The Sheikh uses this to teach the children not to argue, and tells them that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ promised a house in Jannah to anyone who gives up arguing. The children then imagine what they would like in their house in Jannah.

The second story is about a man who passed a town in ruins and wondered how Allah could ever bring it back to life. Allah made him die for a hundred years and then brought him back to life. His food and drink had not changed at all, but his donkey was only bones, and he watched as Allah put the bones together and brought it back to life. Then he knew that Allah can do anything.

In between, the children draw a crown and the food the man had with him, and answer a quiz about the first prophet, the last surah of the Qur'an and the rak'ahs of Isha.

• Surah Al-Baqarah 2:258: The king argues with Ibrahim about his Lord, claims to give life and death, and cannot bring the sun up from the west.
• Surah Al-Baqarah 2:259: The man who passed a ruined town is made to die for a hundred years, then sees his food unchanged and his donkey's bones brought back to life.
• Sunan Abu Dawud 4800: The Prophet ﷺ guarantees a house in Jannah to one who gives up arguing, even when he is right.
