Since no one dared to reply for over a day, I will go ahead and tell you then.

Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) did NOT worship the stars and the moon etc. According to most scholars he was pretending to do so because he wanted to teach the worshipers of the stars and the moons and the sun a lesson.

How do we know this?

Firstly, you know that Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.) has a slightly sarcastic way of Dawah. A way that would make the mushrikeen think? When he broke the idols at his own village - he said "ask the big one." ( ask the big idol who broke the other idols) If you dont know that story please look it up. This question to the villagers was to make them think that the idols cant speak or for that matter do anything. Hazrat Ibrahim by no means was actually expecting an answer.

Secondly,
"PROPHETS" are not ramdom people chosen later in their life. Prophethood is decided much before the birth of the prophet and those that are going to be prophets never commit the sin of SHIRK. That is a condition of each and every prophet.

Having said that, DUA_G and Diwana please rethink your ideas of what a prophet is.

My recommendation: Please listen and learn from scholars first - before you start your own interpretation of Quran and accuse prophets of doing shirk based on an ayat that you dont understand.
