has to say?

why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come

to the ears of God.

Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a

great nation.

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 13

If Ishmael was 15 years old when Isaac was weaned &

mocked,

then, why Ishmael portrayed as a baby when Hagar & Ishmael

left Sara inGenesis 21:14-21

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 14

Hagar & Ishmael left Sara When Ishmael was a Baby

as portrayed in Genesis 21:14-21

long before Isaac was born and not when Isaac was weaned and Ishmael was

around 15 years old youth.

have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this

thing, and hast not withheld

thy son, thine only son:

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 22

What does “thine only son” mean?

Ishmael was the eldest & only son to Abraham till Isaac was born.

So it is Ishmael who was referred as “thine only son”

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 23

One More Point

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 24

The boy who was going to be sacrificed was old enough to

carry the load of woods

“And Abraham put the wood for the burned offering on

his son's back,...”Genesis 22:6

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 25

So it was Ishmael who was sacrificed as mentioned in the Old

Testament

A small baby in Hagar’s arms

The only son of Abraham till the birth of Isaac

Old enough to carry the load of wooden logs.

What the Last Testament

Quran has to say?

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 27

Chapter: Saffat 37 Verse 101-112• Abraham prayed "O my Lord! Grant me a

righteous (son)!" • So We (God) gave him the good news of a

boy (Ishmael) ready to suffer and forbear. • Then, when (the son) reached (the age of)

(serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in

sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said:

"O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 28

• So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah., and he had laid him

prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), • We called out to him "O Abraham!

• "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do

right. • For this was obviously a trial-

• And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:

May 3, 2023 Saif P.M. 29

• And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later

times: • "Peace and salutation to Abraham!”

• Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.

• For he was one of our believing Servants.

• And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the

Righteous.
