King Nimrod: The Tyrant Who Challenged the Divine

King Nimrood: The Tyrant Who Challenged the Divine

This ebook explores the life and legacy of King Nimrood, one of the earliest tyrants to openly defy the oneness of Allah. Mentioned in Islamic tradition and hinted at in the Qur’an through the story of Prophet Ibrāhīm (AS), Nimrood is portrayed as a ruler who claimed divinity, challenged God’s power, and sought to suppress truth with arrogance.

From his infamous debate with Prophet Ibrāhīm (AS), where he claimed the power to give life and death, to his downfall through a tiny mosquito sent by Allah, this book unpacks the lessons of pride, delusion, and divine justice. Drawing from Qur’anic verses, tafsir (exegesis), and historical accounts, this volume also investigates the possible historical identity of Nimrood and his link to ancient Mesopotamian kings.
