THE SACRIFICE

Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, said referring to
his father Abdullah and Prophet Ishmael: "I am the son of the two
sacrificed."


Ishmael grew up in the valley of Mecca, to know him was to love him,
he was obedient to his mother and known for his uprightness.

From time to time Prophet Abraham would visit Mecca to see Lady
Haggar and his first born. It was on one such visit that Prophet
Abraham saw a vision in which he was commanded to sacrifice
Ishmael. It was indeed a very stern trial from Allah, because he loved
his son dearly.
