21:69 The enemies of Abraham planned to kill Abraham by burning him in fire (cf. 29:24). Neither the previous verse 21:68, nor the following verse, nor anywhere else does the Holy Qur’ân state that Abrahams enemies did actually manage to throw him into fire. According to this verse Allâh countered their plan (see also 29:24; 37:97-98). There are many fictional accounts concerning Abraham and the fire, but all are products of peoples imagination, unfounded in the Holy Qur’ân.
