  • TheSacrificeOfAbraham, page : 11

Prophet Abraham, obedient to Allah, went to Ishmael, who was by
now a young man, and told him of the vision saying:

"My son, I saw while sleeping that I shall sacrifice you,
tell me what you think."

He replied: "Father, do as you are bidden.
Allah willing,

you shall find me one of those who are steadfast."
Koran Ch. 37 vs. 102

THE THOUGHTFULNESS OF ISHMAEL

When the time came, Ishmael, not thinking of himself, asked his
father for three things. He requested that he be allowed to face the
ground so that his father would not see his eyes then be overcome
with mercy towards him, and thereby disobey the command of Allah.
