believers to abandon their faith. The people's desire to martyr the
Prophet Jethro (as) to death is an example of the unbelievers'
resentment and hostility toward those following Allah's way:
They said: "Jethro, we do not understand much of what you
say, and we see that you are weak among us. Were it not for
your clan, we would have stoned you. We do not hold you in

When Pharaoh and his circle were planning to martyr the
Prophet Moses (as), Allah informed him:
A man came running from the furthest part of the city, saying:
"Moses, the Council is conspiring to kill you, so leave! I am
someone who brings you good advice." (Surat al-Qasas, 20)
Unbelievers also tried to martyr the Messengers through
kidnappings and solitary confinement. Earlier, we gave the
example of how the Prophet Joseph (as) was abandoned by his
brothers in a well to expose him to hunger and thirst, and thus

martyr him. And the Prophet Abraham's (as) people were
frenzied enough to burn this blessed Messenger alive after he had
broken their idols. But Allah miraculously rescued him from this
situation. In one verse Allah says this of the Prophet Abraham
(as):
The only answer of his people was to say: "Kill him or burn
him!" But Allah rescued him from the fire. There are certainly
signs in that for people who are believers. (Surat al-'Ankabut,
24)
As revealed in the above verse, the unbelievers' attempt to

"burn" the Prophet Abraham (as) ended in failure and Allah
rescued him. Allah reveals in the Qur'an that this attempt failed
and that Allah protects His Messengers:
