His message
The Qur’an describes him asking why his people called on Baal instead of God, their creator. His name is closely linked with this challenge to idol worship.

What the Qur’an tells us
Many rejected him, but the Qur’an honours him among the messengers. It does not provide a detailed family history or exact life dates.
