Tome 06

Nimrod was sleeping in the arms of the beautiful "Semiramis" who was wiping her hand on his hair in a tenderness that she did not know in herself… But Nimrod at the time was on another matter…He had a strange dream… it seemed to him that he saw a horseman on a horse flying in the sky at the horizon… and he saw himself in the sky facing that horseman… he looked again to the sky he saw that the horseman had disappeared and shiny planet took his place…he looked at the opposing side of the horseman where he saw himself… and he didn't see himself but the sun… suddenly the sun disappeared from the sky and that shiny planet stayed … he looked again and he saw the horseman in the place of the shiny planet changing his course and approaching at a terrible speed from the ground, he galloped at Nimrod himself, so he panicked and woke up from his sleep suddenly screaming, to be met by the beautiful, worried eyes of "Semiramis" and her hands the two pubes on his forehead.

Semiramis brought the wisest people in Babylon to explain and interpret to him that dream… and they were afraid to state with the real interpretation… then they made up their minds in the end and told him…They told him that a child will be born on this earth soon… and your doom will be in his hands.

The Nimrod erupted in a tremendous fury. … and ordered to kill of all the new-borns in the seven regions… then his soldiers broke into homes and killed children…in those exact days the Allah prophet "Abraham" was born … and his mother hid him from the Nimrod's soldiers… till he grew up and became a fine lad … and the people of Babylon were worshipping planets and making Idols for them and pleaded to them… and among this planets there is the moon and the sun; the sun is the supreme deity, and he is King Nimrod, The moon is the subordinate deity, and she is Semiramis… As for the Nimrod, his loyalty was for the devil alone.

He had transgressed in those days, indulging in arrogance and ruling people with iron and fire …" Abraham" started calling out to people to worship one god… and trying to convince them that their idols aren't harmful nor helpful… and the famous story happened in the spring… that holiday in which "Abraham" destroyed the Babylonian idols in the temple of "OUR" and hanged his axe on a huge idol called "Murdock" … and when the people came back from their holiday they found all the idols destroyed except for one… and that one is the great "Murdock" … who was standing tall in the head of the temple carrying an axe on his shoulder. 

The people outraged and remembered Abraham's hatred for their idols and they invoked him and asked him and he answered them with that famous answer...

I didn't do it, but their elders did this... so ask him if he can speak.

The people erupted in anger and carried the news for their god-king nimrod… and we had the famous confrontation between the "Nimrod" and "Abraham" …

-Who's the god you worshipping Abraham

-It's the god that gives and takes life

-I give and take life… I strike the neck of one of my prisoners and I kill him and I spare the other and he lives…

-My god brings out the sun from the east… so bring it out from the west.

The nimrod was stunned and didn't know what to say…and ordered them to kill Abraham in a manner that equals his crime against the gods… he commanded to set a fire which will be the greatest fire on this earth and toss Abraham in it… and the people of Babylon on gathering wood to set the fire for an entire month... and when they light it up it was a magnificent fire and its light can be seen from the outskirts of the city… and they tossed Abraham to it with a catapult… and they left it for days and nights till it went off… and they rushed to it to gather the ashes of the man who fazed the gods … and they found him standing there without a single scratch… Nimrod was enraged… but it was a suppressed anger this time… a rage he directed to his ally who promised him power and kingship… he was angry at Lucifer.

The thing the nimrod did next was the strangest thing that any human could do …. And maybe he deserved the surname of the nimrod for doing this thing alone; he went to the Damavand and exactly to the cavern he used to visit from time to time to learn magic… Lucifer's cavern.

-Where is the ultimate power you were claiming… how is it possible for a raging fire to be unable to burn a human from flesh and blood? Because he is a devil like me.

-Really? You mean a devil greater than you? And we all know Abraham and we know his father "Azer" the sculptor.

-You don't have to know everything I know… because we are just allies with a pact in which I am the master in this alliance … and you aren't even at my level… because in the end you are just a puny human you starve, pee and die.

-Where is the power? I went to the sky with my tower and I didn't find it… and I went with you the lowest of the low and didn't find it.

-The power is that you are the king of the seven regions… and there is no human being who doesn't tremble at the mention of your name… whole families of Jinn are under your command.

-All but one… Abraham… what does he have I don't nor do you.

-He is poor, he doesn't have anything except for trickery… trickery saved him from fire.

-You are a liar … a liar and a bastard … and I swear, I will kill you and tear you apart … as soon as I find that power.

The nimrod announced his rebellion against his ally Lucifer… after he rebelled on his father by killing him … and rebelling against Allah by disbelieving and claiming godhood … rebelling on the planets his people worshipped by completely ignoring and disregarding them… and rebelled on all the norms and ethics with his tyranny and bloodshed and oppression in the land… after all that in the end he announced his rebellion on the one who taught him magic …he rebelled on Iblis(Satan)… the origin of his name "Nimrod" is from "Tamarud التمرد" in Arabic which means "Rebellion" … and Zahhak was the unrivalled prince of rebellion on the history of the earth.
