Kill your One and Only Son?

Question

Do you still belive after you read this that it was god that old abrham to kill his son

One of the prevalent myths is that Muhammad was the founder of Islam.
Although Islam, total submission to God alone, is the only religion recognized by God since the time of Adam (3:19, 85), Abraham is reported in the Quran as the first user of the word "Islam" and the one who called us "Muslims" (22:78).
Abraham's exemplary submission to God is demonstrated by his famous willingness to sacrifice his only son, Ismail, when he thought that that was God's command. As it turns out, such a command was in fact from Satan.

God Never Ordered Abraham to Sacrifice His Son
God is the Most Merciful. He never violates His own law (7:28). Any person who believes that the Most Merciful ordered Abraham to kill his son cannot possibly make it to God's Heaven. Such evil thought about God is grossly blasphemous.
Nowhere in the Quran do we see that God ordered Abraham to kill his son. On the contrary, God intervened to save Abraham and Ismail from Satan's plot (37:107), and He told Abraham: "You believed the dream" (37:105). Undoubtedly, it was a dream inspired by Satan. God's irrevocable law is: "God never advocates sin" (7:28)

Answer 1

I think you need to check your sources. God did tell Abraham to kill isaac as a sacrifice to Him. Once God saw that abraham was devout enough to do this action, and have faith that god would take care of him, god called it off, and procalimed that it was a test of his faith. A faith that we all should have. Because he made God happy by following his command, God granted Abraham descendants as many as the stars (thus father abraham). He also blessed all the nations of theearth because of Abrahams obedience.

I hope this helps, and God bless.

Answer 2

Well, first of all God told Abraham to take Isaac up to the mountain and make his sacrifice, NOT ISHMAEL

This is where the BIBLE and the quran take very big differences, and why the war over possession of the holy land comes from.

Abraham was very obedient to GOD by this time, he had made many mistakes and had learned the hard way through each one. When Isaac asked where the sacrifice was Abrahman replied that GOD would provide the sacrifice (here we see very clearly that abraham trusted GOD completely,)

Abraham knew and had faith that Gods promises to him were true and would be made good on. He knew that GOD would either raise Isaac from the dead or provide another sacrifise at the alter.

As it turned out, by reading further on, GOD stopped Abraham from sacrificing ISAAC and provided a ram in his place.

There is no mention of satan here, because he was not involved in this test of faith. Furthermore, GOD provided a lesson to us all here, in that he said , he would never ask for a human sacrifise in atonement for sin.

SO, it seems that you are confusing two very different writings about this story, one from GOD and one written and dictated by man and man alone. My bet is the Muslim interpretation is from satan, wanting some sort of Glory in this, as the only thing that satan cannot stand is GOD being given Glory for anything.

Answer 3

God did not advocate sin by this command to Abraham. To advocate means to argue for, exhort toward, etc.
Clearly in the Bible God gave Abraham the command to test his faith in God.
God never intended to allow Abraham to kill his son. Even Abraham on the way up to the mountain told his son that the Lord would provide the sacrifice.

Answer 4

So you are say Abraham was submitting to the commands of Satan? That by logic means he wasn't submitting to God since God and Satan are as far apart as any two can be.

Unfortunately, the historical evidence for what you say is lacking. The oldest manuscripts are of the Jewish tradition. The Quran is much younger than this. The Jewish scriptures are full of prophecies that in fact were fulfilled centuries later in Jesus of Nazareth. He was the Messiah.

Answer 5

The Hebrew Scriptures all pointed to the fulfillment of them, namely when the seed of Abraham would bring salvation to mankind. This account of Abraham being told to kill his son serves two purposes. 1)It shows that God can fulfill his purposes, even if things that are out of our control come into play (if He had allowed Abraham to kill Issac, Abraham would not have protested. Obviously he realized that since God had even caused him and Sarah to have a child at such a young age, God could likewise raise Isaac back from the dead to fulfill his will), and 2)It showed on a small scale what Jehovah would do for all mankind, namely, allow His son to come to Earth to die for mankind. This second point is especially powerful because if God was a Trinity like some believe, he would have told Abraham to kill himself instead of his son, who was physically separate from Abraham. It also shows that God would do for mankind something he could not even let Abraham to fully go through with.

This account is one of many meant for our instruction today (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). Those who feel repulsed by this account need only to look at the Bible in its entirety and pray to its Divine Author for understanding to come into an accurate view of it.

Answer 6

First, the Quran is not the word of God.

Second, the son whom Abraham and Sarah was commanded to sacrifice was Isaac. Ishmael was the son of Hagar, Sarah's maidservant, who was sent away.

This test was of the Abraham's faith in God's promise that Isaac would be child of the convental promise. We should not try to comprehend God's ways, for His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

Answer 7

Well, lets see, Abraham tossed out his Whore Hagar and her BASTARD son Ismail into the desert, not worrying whether they would live or die. Yeah, I guess he did care, NOT!

Also, since Satanism (oops, sorry) Islam has only BEEN AROUND LESS THAN 2,000 YEARS, how is it that its been around since the Garden of Eden? Wow, YOU TAKE THE JEWS OWN BOOK and rip it off! Then you consider them liars, roflmao. You people are so fewking pathetic! NO wonder you hate them, they have everything YOU DON'T. Your GOD!

Answer 8

The Bible is the truth... God had to test somehow the Fatih, Love, and Loyalty.. of the man that he was going to make the Father of many nations.

It makes perfect sense to me.

The ultimate sacrifice for Abraham was indeed... his son that he had wanted for many many years. Yet he was willing to sacrifice him for God's will. To me, that is a powerful message.

Answer 9

The story was told in most holy books. There was some debate whther the son was Ismael or Isa'ac

Answer 10

boi i guess u dont know much abt dreams, dreams are not of only one kind.... i agree tht its satan... but not always... as it is said it is allah who is testing us and will be testing us till the day of judgement, allah was testing him and he wanted to c the love he had for him (allah) this is an open proof and an example tht shows us how to love allah and obey him.... and even in the end you can read more furthur tht instead of ismail it was a goat in hands of ibrahim s.a.w.s sent from heaven......
