on Burak, the heavenly white winged mount, which was in the centuries to come
commissioned to carry Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) to Jerusalem.
On one such visit Prophet Abraham saw a vision in which he was told to sacrifice his son
for Allah. Soon after the vision satan came to Abraham and whispered, “How could you
kill your beloved son?” Abraham instantly rejected and cursed satan, and in obedience
to Allah went to Ishmael and said, "My son, I saw while sleeping that I shall sacrifice you,
tell me what you think." It was time for satan’s second attempt to prevent the fulfillment
of the vision and he whispered to Ishmael in a similar manner. Ishmael immediately
rejected and cursed satan. Like his father, Ishmael’s love of Allah and obedience to Him
was unquestionable and he replied, "Father, do as you are ordered (by Allah), Allah
willing, you shall find me one of those who are steadfast." Koran, Chapter 37:102.
Satan had failed twice, in his final attempt to prevent the fulfillment of the vision he went
to Lady Hagar and whispered, “How could you let Abraham kill your only son?” But like
her husband and son, she too loved Allah and was obedient to Him, so without
hesitation she cursed and rejected satan.
