Ibrahim was born to Muhammad and Mary the Egyptian, representing the promise of untasted royalty as the Prophet's son. His life was tragically brief, lasting only fifteen months before his death. An eclipse of the sun occurred around the time of his passing, though it was not caused by his death. His story ended in the dungeons of Haran, where he expired in iron fetters.

Description

An infant of about fifteen months with delicate features and a small, vulnerable form. He is wrapped in simple swaddling clothes appropriate to his status. His presence carries both innocence and the weight of his brief, tragic existence as the son of Muhammad and Mary the Egyptian.
