The phrase “ your only son” is significantly problematic to be referring to Isaac,

because both he and Ishmael outlived their father Abraham.

Therefore it is only for Ishmael that this phrase “the only son” could ever be used

at one time, and never for Isaac.

The sacrifice would be most significant at the time when he had only one son.

Christians would insist it was Isaac and would quote this verse:

14 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin

of water; and putting of water; and putting itit on her shoulder, he gave on her shoulder, he gave itit and and the boy to the boy to

Muslims response to this Biblical narration regarding Ishmael Muslims response to this Biblical narration regarding Ishmael


Abraham was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael while Isaac was borne

to him when he was one hundred years old – thus, 14 years apart.

Therefore this narration could not have happened after Isaac was born because if it

were so, then the term “she placed the boy under one of the shrub”(Genesis: 21: 14)

would be ridiculous. He should rather be helping his mother.
