In his history book, Ibn Jarir mentioned the following: Abraham was born during the reign of Nimrod, who was a tyrant king and ruled for a long time, possibly around one thousand years according to some accounts.

It is believed that Nimrod belonged to the Rasib tribe, to whom the Prophet Noah was sent. Nimrod had dominion over the entire world during that era. There are accounts of a very bright star appearing in the sky, surpassing the brightness of the sun and the moon, which caused fear among the people. Nimrod became anxious and consulted his fortune tellers and astrologers to explain this phenomenon. They predicted that a boy would be born among his subjects who would bring an end to his power. In response, Nimrod ordered all men to refrain from being intimate with their wives and commanded that all newborn boys be killed.

During this time, Abraham was born, but by the grace of Allah, he was saved from the clutches of the tyrant king. He grew up and fulfilled Allah's promise.

There are different accounts regarding Abraham's birthplace. Some suggest it was Sus, others mention Babylon, and yet another account places it in Sawad, Iraq. According to 'Abbas, he was born in Barzah, located east of Damascus. After the downfall of Nimrod's kingdom, Abraham journeyed to Haran and then to Syria. He had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac. His wife Sarah passed away before him, in a village near Hebron in the land of Canaan. According to the People of the Book, Sarah lived for one hundred and twenty-seven years, and Abraham mourned her after her death.

Abraham later married another woman named Qanturah (Keturah) and had children with her. Their names were Zamrän, Yagshän (Jokshan), Madän (Midian), Madyan (Median), Washyäg (Ishbak), and Shaoh (Shuah).

Eventually, Abraham fell ill and passed away at the age of one hundred and seventy-five. He was buried near his wife Sarah in the field of Ephron in Hebron, alongside his son Isaac and grandson Jacob(peace be upon them). Solomon later constructed a square in Hebron, known as the City of Khalil, where the graves of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are located. However, the exact location of Abraham's grave within this square is not known.
