Page 129 - The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)

Harun Yahya - Adnan Oktar

In his commentary, Omer Nasuhi Bilmen offers the fol-
lowing account:
"The Prophet Abraham and his son obeyed and submitted to
Allah's command, and the Prophet Abraham (laid his [son's] head
to one side) and accepted the task of cutting his throat…
Understanding that his dream was a divine command, he was eager
to discharge his duty, and showed great fortitude and obedience to
Allah's command. Then Allah blessed him, ordering him to sacrifice
an animal instead of his son, and thereby saved the Prophet
Abraham from a self-sacrifice." 5

The Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) and the Prophet Ishmael's
(pbuh) sincere obedience, submission, and devotion to Allah can
be seen clearly from these verses and commentaries. Their supe-
rior behavior is an excellent example and a matchless guide for
all believers. Therefore, all believers must follow this path and
become known for their scrupulous implementation of Allah's
commands, and for showing strong resolution when facing trou-
bles or difficulties and maintaining their patient and humble na-
tures. In the following verses, Allah further reveals that:

And left the later people saying of him: "Peace be upon
Abraham." That is how We recompense good-doers. He
truly was one of Our believing servants. ( Surat as-Saffat:
108-11)
