Sorry, this is incorrect.
The correct answer is : His father believed in idol worship, which Ibrahim rejected
Ref: Surah Maryam 19:44
Arabic:
يَـٰٓأَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ عَصِيًّۭا ٤٤
Translation:
O dear father! Do not worship Satan. Surely Satan is ever rebellious against the Most Compassionate.
Tafseer / Explanation:
-
Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) continues advising his father with gentleness and wisdom.
-
He asks his father not to follow Shaytan (Satan), who is a clear rebel against the Most Merciful (Ar-Rahman).
-
By doing so, he warns that idol worship is not only misguided but also obedience to Shaytan.
-
He appeals to his father’s conscience, linking false worship with enmity to Allah.
-
The verse teaches us to combine firmness in truth with compassion in da'wah (inviting others to Islam).
