In the verse which reads: ‘’ and remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands…’’ (Baqarah: 124), the Trials of Abraham referred to as ‘’the words’’. An explanation of the of relationship ‘’the words’’ with Abraham’s trials, the classification of its types in a logical and justifiable pattern and putting date on the event which happened in Abraham’s lifetime are among the basic issues which contribute to understanding the meaning of (the Words), which is necessary for the acquaintance with God’ intention. Establishing the Qur’anic criterion of the Trial and its components, the present paper reviews the verses relating to Abraham’s life and, investigating the approach to the interpretation of Abraham’s Trials adopted by Shi’ah and Sunnis, it examines typology and etymology of the words, and provides a new idea of the theory about interpreting the term Abraham’s Trials. What is interred from the verses and thematic traditions about the Trial and reviewing the components of the Trial relating to the events that took place in Abraham’s lifetime and their historical order demonstrate such idea like: the Trial of Abraham with Azar, expressing dissociation from, iconoclasm, the Satan of the time, when thrown in the fire, the exile, leaving his family in the desert of Mecca and offering his son as a sacrifice
