Quran 37:102
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ ۚ قَالَ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ ١٠٢
Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son! I have seen in a dream that I ˹must˺ sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father! Do as you are commanded. Allah willing, you will find me steadfast.”
Torah - Genesis 22:1-19
THE AKEDAH—THE BINDING OF ISAAC
“And it was after these events, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham,” and he answered, “Here I am.” And He said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, ang offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you.”
Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took with him his two attendants and Isaac his son; he chopped wood for the offering, and set out for the place of which God had told him. On the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place from afar.
Abraham said to his attendants, “You stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; we will prostrate ourselves before God, and then return to you.”
Abraham took the wood for the offering and put it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and the two walked on together.
Then Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father”; and he answered, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?”
Abraham answered, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt-offering, my son,” and the two walked on together.
They reached the place of which God had told him, and Abraham built an altar there, arranged the wood, bound Isaac his son, and placed him on the altar upon the wood.
Then Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slaughter his son. But an angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” And he answered, “Here I am.” And he said, “Do not lay your hand upon the lad, nor do anything to him; for now I know that you are a God-fearing man, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
Thereafter, Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt-offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place “The Lord Will See,” as it is referred to this day, “On the mount where the Lord shall reveal Himself.”
An angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By Myself have I sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son: I will greatly bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in heaven and as the sand on the seashore; and your descendants shall inherit the gates of their enemies.
And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed My voice.” Abraham then returned to his attendants, and they rose and went together to BeerSheva; and Abraham lived in Beer-Sheva.’
