Ur

Ur, written "Ar" in al-Rahiq al-Makhtum, is a town on the western bank of the Euphrates, near Kufa in the land of Iraq. From it comes the origin of Ibrahim, the progenitor of the Arabized Arabs. ^{1 2}

The author mentions that excavations and digs brought broad details about this town, about the family of Ibrahim, and about its religious and social conditions. ¹ In the chapter on the king in Yemen, he mentions that the mention of the people of Saba was found in the excavations of Ur, twenty-five centuries before the common era. ³

From it Ibrahim migrated to Harran, and from there to Palestine, where he made it the base for his call. ^{1 4}
