Velikom poslaniku Ibrahimu (a.s.) je obećan sin prethodni Sign. A Allah je održao svoje obećanje. Zapravo, Taurat nastavlja izvještaj o Ibrahimu (savs) kako bi opisao kako je došao dva sinovi. U Postanku 16, Taurat govori kako je dobio svog sina Ismaila sa Hagarom, a kasnije Postanak 21 govori kako je dobio sina Isaka sa Sarom otprilike 14 godina kasnije. Na nesreću za njegovo domaćinstvo, ovo je rezultiralo velikim rivalstvom između dvije žene, Hagare i Sarai, i završilo se tako što je Ibrahim poslao Hagaru i njenog sina. Možete čitati OVDJE kako se to dogodilo i kako je Allah blagoslovio Hagaru i Ismaila na drugi način.
Žrtva proroka Ibrahima: Osnova za Kurban-bajram
Dakle, sa samo jednim sinom koji je ostao u njegovom domaćinstvu, Ibrahim, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, nailazi na svoj najveći test, ali on nam otvara veće razumijevanje Pravog puta. Molimo pročitajte izvještaj iz Taurata i Kur’ana koji se tiče testa žrtvovanja njegovog sina OVDJE. Ova priča iz Knjiga je razlog zašto se slavi Kurban-bajram. Ali ovo nije samo istorijski događaj. To je više.
Iz izvještaja u knjigama možemo vidjeti da je ovo test za Ibrahima, a.s., ali to je više od toga. Pošto je Ibrahim prorok, ovaj test je i znak za nas, kako bismo mogli naučiti više o Božjoj brizi za nas. Na koji način je ovo znak? Obratite pažnju na ime koje je Ibrahim dao mjestu gdje je njegov sin trebao biti žrtvovan. Ovaj dio Taurata je prikazan ovdje tako da ga možete direktno pročitati.
Tad Abraham podiže oči svoje i pogleda, i gle – iza njega ovan se rogovima u grmlju ukliještio. Tako Abraham ode i uze ovna, pa ga umjesto sina svoga kao žrtvu paljenicu prinese. (14) Abraham to mjesto nazva Jahve Jire; zato se danas veli: “Na brdu gdje će se Jahve pobrinuti.” (Postanak 22:13-14)
Allah je dao ovna kako njegov sin ne bi morao biti žrtvovan. Ali obratite pažnju na ime koje je Ibrahim (‘Abraham’ u Tauratu) dao tom mjestu. On je to nazvao ‘GOSPOD će osigurati‘. Da li je to ime u prošlom, sadašnjem ili budućem vremenu? Jasno je u budućnost napeto. I da bude još jasnije, komentar koji slijedi (koji je Musa, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, ubacio kada je sastavio ovaj izvještaj u Tauratu oko 500 godina kasnije) ponavlja: “…to bice obezbeđeno”. Opet je ovo u budućem vremenu i gleda u budućnost. Većina ljudi misli da Ibrahim misli na ovna (mušku ovcu) koji je uhvaćen u šikari i žrtvovan umjesto njegovog sina. Ali kada Ibrahim imenuje mjesto ovan je već mrtvi, žrtvovani i spaljeni. Da Ibrahim misli na ovna – već mrtvog, žrtvovanog i spaljenog – nazvao bi ga ‘GOSPOD je obezbedio‘, tj. u prošlom vremenu. A Musa (a.s.), da je mislio na ovna koji je zauzeo mjesto Ibrahimovog sina, prokomentarisao bi ‘I do danas se kaže: “Na gori Gospodnjoj to bio obezbeđeno”“. Ali i Ibrahim i Musa mu jasno daju ime u budućem vremenu i stoga ne misle na već mrtvog i žrtvovanog ovna.
Pa o čemu onda razmišljaju? Ako potražimo trag, vidimo da je mjesto gdje je Allah rekao Ibrahimu da ide na početku ovog znaka bilo:
Tad Bog reče: “Uzmi sada sina svoga jedinca, Izaka, kojeg voliš, i idi u zemlju Moriju pa ga tamo kao žrtvu paljenicu prinesi na brdu koje ću ti ja pokazati.” (v.2)
Ovo se dogodilo u ‘moriju’. A gdje je to? Iako je to bilo područje divljine u Ibrahimovo doba (2000 pne), hiljadu godina kasnije (1000 pne) slavni kralj Davud (David) je tu osnovao grad Jerusalim, a njegov sin Sulejman (Solomon) je tu sagradio Hram. O tome čitamo u Zaburu:
Onda Solomon (Sulejman) poče graditi kuću Jahvinu u Jerusalemu, na gori Morijskoj, gdje se Jahve bio ukazao ocu njegovu Davidu (Davudu). (2 Letopisa 3:1)
Drugim riječima, ‘Morija’ u vrijeme Ibrahima (i kasnije Muse) bila je izolovani planinski vrh u pustinji, ali 1000 godina kasnije sa Davudom i Sulejmanom postala je Jerusalim (Al Kuds), centralni i glavni grad Izraelaca. gdje su sagradili Hram GOSPODU. I do danas je to sveto mjesto za jevrejski narod.
Planinu Morija je izabrao GOSPOD, a ne Ibrahim a.s. Kao što sura Al-Jinn (Sura 72 – Džini) objašnjava:
Džamije su Allaha (samo) radi, i ne molite se, pored Allaha, nikome; (Sura al-Jinn 72:18)
Mjesta obožavanja bira GOSPOD. Saznajemo zašto je odabrana ova lokacija.
Isa al Masih i žrtva na gori Morija
I ovdje nalazimo direktnu vezu sa Isa al Mesihom (savs) i Indžilom. Tu vezu vidimo kada znamo za jedan od naslova Isa. Isa mu je dao mnoge titule. Možda je najpoznatiji naslov ‘Masih’ (koji je također ‘hrist’). Ali postoji još jedna titula koja mu je data vrlo važna. Ovo vidimo u Indžilu kada prorok Yahya (Jovan Krstitelj u Indžilu) kaže:
The next day John (i.e. Yahya) saw Jesus (i.e. Isa) coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. This is the one I meant when I said ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me’”. (John 1:29-30)
Važna, ali manje poznata titula Isa (a.s.) koju mu je dao Yahya je bila ‘Jagnje Božije’. Sada razmislite o kraju Isinog života. Gdje je uhapšen i osuđen na streljanje? Bilo je to u Jerusalimu (koji je kao što smo vidjeli isto što i ‘gora Morija’). Prilikom njegovog hapšenja je vrlo jasno rečeno da:
A kad saznade [Pilat] da je on pod Herodovom vlašću, on ga posla Herodu, koji u to vrijeme i sam bijaše u Jerusalemu. (Luka 23:7)
Drugim riječima, hapšenje, suđenje i izricanje presude Isiu se dogodilo u Jerusalimu (= gora Morija).
Vratimo se Ibrahimu. Zašto je to mjesto nazvao u budućem vremenu ‘GOSPOD će osigurati‘? Bio je prorok i znao je da će tamo nešto biti ‘obezbeđeno’. Kada je ispitan, Ibrahimov sin je spašen od smrti u posljednjem trenutku jer umjesto njega umire jagnje. Dvije hiljade godina kasnije, Isa je nazvan ‘Jagnje Božje’ i na istom mjestu je uhapšen i osuđen na smrt!
Žrtva je otkupila Ibrahima: od smrti
Da li nam je ovo važno? Napominjem kako se ovajIbrahim (PBUH) that
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice
What does it mean to be ‘ransomed’? To pay a ransom is to make a payment for someone who is held as a prisoner to set the prisoner free. For Ibrahim (PBUH) to be ‘ransomed’ means that he was a prisoner of something (Yes even a great prophet!). What was he a prisoner of? The scene with his son tells us. He was a prisoner of death. Even though he was a prophet, death held him as a prisoner. We saw from the Sign of Adam that Allah had made Adam and his Children (everyone – including the prophets) mortal – they were now prisoners of death. But somehow in this drama of the sacrificed lamb Ibrahim (PBUH) was ‘ransomed’ from this. If you review the sequence of signs (Adam, Cain&Abel, Noah, Ibrahim 1) thus far you will see that animal sacrifice was almost always practiced by the prophets. They knew something about this that maybe escapes us. And we can see that because this act also points forward into the future to Isa ‘the Lamb of God’ that it has something to do with him.
The Sacrifice: A Blessing for us
And the sacrifice of the lamb on Mount Moriah is important for us as well. At the end of the exchange Allah declares to Ibrahim that
“…and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed because you have obeyed me” (Genesis 22:18)
If you belong to one of the ‘nations on earth’ (and you do!) this has to concern you because the promise is that you then can get a ‘blessing’ from Allah himself! Is that not worthwhile?! How does this connection of Ibrahim’s story with Isa make a blessing to us? And why? We note that Ibrahim (PBUH) was ‘ransomed’ and this is a clue for us, but apart from that the answer is not readily apparent here so we will continue with the Signs of Musa (he has two) and they will clarify these questions for us.
But here I just want to point out that the word ‘offspring’ here is in the singular. It is not ‘offsprings’ as in many descendants or peoples. The promise of a blessing was through an ‘offspring’ from Ibrahim in the singular – singular as in a ‘he’, not through many people or a group of people as in ‘they’. The Passover Sign of Musa will now help us understand further.
very interesting brother…infact i dont suppose even an islamic scholar has gotten insights like yours…. but i noted that you did not correct that it was Ibrahim’s first born that was to be sacrificed… Ismaail… not Isaac..
Thanks Abdulla for your comment. I recognize that there is some disagreement on this point. However, I think it is well worthwhile to understand the case for what the Taurat says. It is very well supported. Please see my post on this question at https://al-injil.net/blog/2012/08/07/did-ibrahim-pbuh-sacrifice-ishmael-or-isaac/
I am interesting to have update message from you about new subjects.
hi, i am interesting to receive the update new message about the new and importent subjects.
I like it
Either he was Ishmail or Isaac, but he was the prophet Ibraham’s son. So we muslims believe.
well acording to Islamic view it is ismael the promise was made because if you read the bible very well you see that their is a history distortion 1ismael was a legitimate son of Abraham because when Abraham was challenging God of no having children and he decide to adorpt the children of is slave but God told him that his son will be only from his body genesis15v4. 2in genesis16v3acording to king James version sarai gave hagar has wife but the writters of new revise version they said hagar was a concubine so to establish that hagar was not a legitimate wife and ismael too will be illegitimate son of Abraham but the book of 1 chronicle make us to know that ismael is a legitimate son of Abraham because a legitimate child is name after their father and illegitimate child is named after is mother and ketura was the only woman named along side with her children in chronicle 28&32 . 3 in genesis 17 we learnt that ismael was 14 when Isaac was born but but in genesis 21 the picture of ismael we saw is not of that age is a picture of a child who is not older than maximum 2 year so you can see that out of envy the Jew turn the story so that Isaac will be seen has the one God is talking about because if ismael is legitimate son of Abraham the the covenant is establish with ismael not Isaac . about sacrifice we Muslim do not consider blood to be atone for sin as you Christian believe you Christians believe that in the past that God acept animal sacrifice for forgiveness of sin that is why Jesus came to replace the blood sacrifice with his own blood [email protected] leviticus17v11 but we Muslims did not believe in this even the eid aldah which we celebrate did not have anything similar to this and no verse in the bible tell us that Abraham offer sacrifice for atonement of sin or noah and the children of Adam depite all the offering sacrifice been commanded in the book of leviticus the book of jeremiah7 v21&27book of amos and the book of psalm50v9&15 denied all the blood sacrifice which was attributed to God in amos God said for 40 years i have taking you out of Egypt i did not command thee to offer me blood sacrifice so if God did not command any blood sacrifice then of which relevant will Jesus death on the cross will be simply hoax of history
Hi Alawu
Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely correct in that Ishmael was a legitimate son of Ibraham (PBUH). The Taurat affirms this. The translation of ‘Wife’ or ‘concubine’ is not an issue in this case. Concubines were considered as wives in that culture. If you look in my article about what the Taurat tells us about Ishmael, you will see that the Taurat affirms Ishmael is a legitimate son of Abraham. In Genesis 21, Ishmael is about 14 years of age and the account of his crying at almost dieing of thirst in the desert is consistent with what a teenage boy would do. He is not crying over any problem, but the fact that he has lost his father and may die of thirst. So there is no reason to suspect a corruption of this passage based on the narrative. The issue though is whether Abraham sacrificed Isaac or not. I know there is some controversy over this but you can read my article on this question here.
The point of this article on the Sign of Ibrahim is not to debate merits or not of blood sacrifice. The point is that 1) there was a sacrifice intended but at the last minute a ram substituted for the son 2) After this happened Ibrahim (PBUH) named that spot in future tense “The LORD will provide” 3) Jesus (or Isa – PBUH) 2000 years later was crucified in the same spot 4) Jesus (or Isa – PBUH) was called ‘Lamb of God’ by the prophet Yahya (pbuh). The Israelites did have blood sacrifices and as you point out in your references they did NOT provide in and of themselves. They were pointers to the great sacrifice.
if you want to know the truth about your bible, I
suggest you read at least the chapter genesis. after reading it pls let us know according to you who wrote the chapter genesis. or who is the story teller?. who is the witness of this event ?, Was it god, or if not to whom it was told ?, for what purpose it was written ?.( what is it trying to tell you and why, ? was it the word of god ? as you believe it is. also find out the same thing about below quotation :
your own quotation
“Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place ‘The LORD Will Provide’. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” (Genesis 22:13-14)”
I am sorry, but I honestly do not know what you are getting at here. Perhaps I am confused about your statement ‘read chapter Genesis’ when Genesis is really a book with many chapters. Are you concerned about this chapter (22) in terms of who wrote it? I guess I will answer that question and sorry if you meant something else. Genesis is part of Taurat. Taurat was written by prophet Musa pbuh but the events of Genesis occurred before prophet Musa pbuh lived. (other books of Taurat are during life of Musa pbuh). So how could Musa be an author of events that come before him? Scholars have explained this in 2 steps. The sections of Genesis were written by the person whom the events describe. These sections are clearly demarked in the text with the phrase “This is the account of ….” Abraham starts his recording in Genesis 11
His recording ends when his sons Ishmael and Isaac start there sections in Genesis 25. Ishamel starts like this
Isaac starts his section with
So Chapter 25 is the end of Abraham’s written account. It started in chapter 11 with
Terah was the father of Abraham and you can see that the text describes Abraham and his brothers and then continues on until CHapter 25 with Abraham’s story which (as I pointed above) is picked up by Ishmael and Isaac.
So different sections of Genesis are written by the specific prophet whose events it describes. This is the first step
The second step is the prophet Musa pbuh then took these sections and put them together in one book. This is the book of Genesis, the first book of Taurat. Long answer to now summarize… Genesis 22 and the events there are recorded by prophet Ibrahim pbuh
i am sorry if i create a confusion to you i should have said at least one of the chapter in genesis.
actually you may read what ever book in your bible, which ever chapters.,but simply ask yourself those question ,who wrote the book ?. it is narated like a story book or a history book, whom you never know the writer who witness the even. if you want to know at least you have to ask those kind of questions, if you simply follow it with your faith, than ask your self why did god gave you intellectuals in the first place. if you are not allowed to use it. no matter how you believe why you got it in the first place, but use it anyway.
this part of old testament mostly come from talmud not torah mentioned in quran.
Ma shallah
hi,I am interested on this topic.Furthermore,as a muslim we believe in sacrifice of our prophet Ibrahim(pbuh). Allah accepted his sacrifice and send one sheep instead of his son.Which is a great milestone of sacrifice to Allah.As we are a followers of our prophet ,So every year we sacrifice animals(i.e which animal is hallall and which has four legs)as a symbol of sacrifice towards Allah.
Nafisa
we are completely celebrate because it is sunnat IBRAHIMEE (PBUH)

Ishmael was born 14 years before Isaac. so isnt it so when Allah says sacrifice ur only son means Ishmael???
plzzzz guide
i like it
This is my first time visit at here and i am really impressed to read everthing at alone place.|
I believe Christians are confused, in the book of Genesis God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son, not one of your sons, the one you love, but not your only son you love. My brother, Christians now believe Ishmael is a legitimate son of Abraham and Ishmael is 14years older than Isaac then who is the only son? Christians are confused because of the inserted name Isaac, which in the tawrat he referred to doesn’t contains that. It was a complete insertion. No name was mentioned but Jews internationally inserted the name Isaac. Remember Allah new Abraham had only a son then why should He mention a named? And if Abraham had two children by then, Allah should have said sacrifice Isaac your son without mentioning only. My brother this is to clear your confusion and doubt. Convert to Islam and be save for Allah says, in the Qur’an that it is a book without confusion and doubt but a guidance for righteousness. He again said who ever finds a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted and in the hereafter he will be among the losers. I don’t want you to be among the losers so accept Islam for your salvation. May Allah accept you in Islam and give you jannat. Ameen
Friends I need some points about Jerusalem why it’s important for both Israel and palestin ? Why it should be capitalized for Israel or plastin ?
Here is my reservations concerning this long decade disagreement between Christians and Muslims ‘whether it was Ishmael or Isaac that was to be sacrificed by our father Abraham’?, .The point of argument as pointed out by my Muslim brothers is hanged upon the fact that if Ishmael was 14 year older than Isaac and at a time God said his only son should be sacrificed,this practically denotes that God was only talking about Abraham eldest son who is the only son at the time.but before this scene of contention we all should know that a quarrel ensued between Sarah and Hagar and Abraham decided to take Hagar and Ismael into a land and he blessed them there and afterwards there was never any account whatsoever that he went back over to Hagar place for a visit, that in a way speak volumes of how Abraham prefer and love Sarah more than Hagar and consequently,he continued to stay and live with Sarah after he put Hagar and Ismael away,we all know of a truth that the love of a man for his wife always in most cases transferred to the child of that wife,as Abraham continued to live with Sarah and God mentioned his only child to be sacrificed, Abraham was a faithful man he knows that God was referring to his most loved child (Isaac)whose mum he was living with at the time.I love you all with the love of christ let the love flows brothers and sisters.
Thanks for this article it was most informative and insightful, i enjoyed reading it very much. And thanks to @Godwin for clarifying and removing the confusion as to which son was sacrificed. It makes complete sense. Please continue to write…God bless you.
The statement mentioned above, (Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.” (v.2)) is WRONG.
It was Prophet Ibrahim’s(PBUH) First Son Isma’il, born to his second wife Hajara or Hager, whom he took to sacrifice. Not Isaac. Isaac was his second son born to his first wife Sarah.
Hi,
I’m glad all these comments came up. I perceive from here that we should not debate on either Christianity or Islam.
Abraham(Ibrahim) is the father of all nations. Out of him came the Islam and the Jews.
Take a Critical look at 2000 years later when the Lamb of God(Isa or Jesus) gave himself a ransom for the sins of all men. Be it Islam or Jew. So that He(Isa) was to be the last and great sacrifice for man.
Before His sacrifice, he has His followers or Disciples and established his Gospel. His death and teachings brought in the New way of worship to Allah(God). This is where the Christians came in. They adopted the new practice as thought by Jesus Christ(Isa) and they became Christians signifying that they will not share any blood for a ransom of sin but the Lamb of God had already done it if only you shall believe in Him and Keep his commandments.
This is what we need to understand.
Muslim took theirs from Ismael who was a son to Hagar.
Jews took theirs from Isaac son of Saria
Christians took theirs from the Lamb himself who brings salvation to all mankind regardless of your religion. Only believe and do as He has thought.
Remember, religion was formed by man and in Allah’s sight( God’s) it is not suppose to be so.
Isa(Jesus) was provided for all and not to a specific group of people.
Read Genesis 22:2
God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he mention the name Isaac.
In genesis chapter 21:9 Ismael and Hagar was saked.
We are leaning am a Christian but I read Quran sometimes that’s why I arrive on this page. God blessings to all
Malam auwal actually you made it clear to me , jazakumullah khair I am almost confused with this writing, but as you take your time and write something am okay Alhamdulillah, I am not scholar or imam but at least read some bit of write up and listened to sheikhs. What came to my mind is that, who is the writer and what has he trying to say. But you guys had tried and clarified everything now.
Eid al-adha has nothing to do with with sin offerings, from where did you even get that?
The whole point of the story is to be grateful God doesn’t demand human sacrifice,unlike pagan idols
