1. Why did the first Muslims believe that the son to be sacrificed was Isaac Ishaq?

The start of the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 repeats Quran chapter 19 where after prayer Allaah gives Isaac Ishaq meaning Quran chapter 37 is the story of the son of Sarah.

The Torah Taurat names Isaac Ishaq as the son to be sacrificed and the Quran tells the Jewish people to observe their covenant with Allaah which is the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:41 and says in Quran 4:136 “... whoever has no faith in … Allaah's Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah)” and in Quran 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true." meaning the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat to show that humans do not have the power to change the written word of Allaah (in Quran 6:34, Quran 6:115, Quran 10:64, Quran 18:27 and Quran 30:3) which the Jews have been commanded to follow forever in the Torah Taurat by observing the Sabbath Day in all their generations in a covenant agreement made with Allaah forever in the Torah Taurat which is confirmed in the Quran as proof Allaah is real and as proof the Quran is truthful.

2. Why did later Muslims believe that the son to be sacrificed was Ishmael Ismail?

Later Muslims said that Ishmael Ismail was the only son for 13 years and therefore the Jews changed the Torah Taurat.

However when you read the Torah Taurat you will find that Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq were both living in the same house before the sacrifice and it was after Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar are sent into the desert that the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim is Isaac Ishaq and this is why Allaah says “Take your only son Isaac Ishaq and sacrifice him” meaning the faith in Quran 4:136 which the first Muslims had in the Torah Taurat was the correct faith meaning later Muslims did not read the Torah Taurat and believed what other people told them when they claimed the sacrifice was before the birth of Isaac Ishaq.

In both the Quran and Torah Taurat Isaac Ishaq is given to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time is by the angel of Allaah with the birth of Isaac Ishaq and the second time is after the angel of Allaah stops the sacrifice and gives Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim a second time.

The name good news is always the name of Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.

In both the Quran and Torah Taurat Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned anywhere in Quran chapter 37 or in Torah Taurat Genesis 22 which is the story of the sacrifice.

In the Quran Allaah only blesses Abraham Ibrahim and Isaac Ishaq in the story of the sacrifice.

Allaah has left no blessing or mention of Ishmael Ismail in the story of the sacrifice because he is not in this story.

The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat however Satan Shaitan tests Muslims to show who believes the word of Allaah was changed in the Torah Taurat in the same way Satan Shaitan tests Christians to show who believes Prophet Jesus Isa is Allaah.

3. The story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 starts in Quran chapter 19.

The story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is called the “Good News” son is the story of the son of Sarah and Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.

In Quran 19:46 - 19:49 Abraham Ibrahim lived with his father and prays and when he went away Allaah gave him Isaac Ishaq in Quran 19:49 meaning this is the story of the son of Sarah.

The story in Quran 19:46 - 19:49 which is the story of Isaac Ishaq the son of Sarah is the same story in the beginning of the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:98 - Quran 37:101.

1. Quran 37:98 is Quran 19:46 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is living with his father.

2. Quran 37:99 is Quran 19:47 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

3. Quran 37:100 is Quran 19:48 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

4. Quran 37:101 (We gave him the good news) is Quran 19:49 (“We gave him Isaac Ishaq”).

The angel of Allaah gave the Good News son Prophet Isaac Ishaq twice.

The first time the angel of Allaah gave Prophet Isaac Ishaq is as the Good News in Quran 37:101 which is the same as when Prophet Isaac Ishaq is given the first time in Quran 19:49.

This Good News son Prophet Isaac Ishaq is to be sacrificed in the next verse Quran 37:102.

The second time Allaah gave Prophet Isaac Ishaq is after Allaah stopped the sacrifice and gave  Prophet Isaac Ishaq a second time to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:112

The story of the sacrifice only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq both separately and together as the father and son.

Allaah has left no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 meaning the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat as proof no one can change the words of Allaah as promised in Quran 6:34, Quran 6:115, Quran 10:64, Quran 18:27 and Quran 30:30

Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … Allaah's Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).”

A. Why is the name of Prophet Ishmael Ismail not in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37?

1. The birth of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in Quran 19:46 - Quran 19:49 like the birth of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:98 - Quran 37:101.

The story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq begins in Quran 19:46 - Quran 19:49 and is the same as the beginning of the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:98 - Quran 37:101 starting from the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim lived with his father until Allaah gave him Isaac Ishaq meaning this is the story of the son of Sarah and this is why the birth of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in Quran 19:46 - Quran 19:49 or in Quran chapter 37 which is the story of the sacrifice and the son of Sarah.

Quran 19:46 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is living with his father.

Quran 19:47 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

Quran 19:48 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

Quran 19:49 (“We gave him Isaac Ishaq”).

2. Some might mistakenly think that Quran 19:46 - Quran 19:49 says Prophet Isaac Ishaq is the first born son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim if they have no faith in the Torah Taurat as warned in Quran 4:136 because the Torah Taurat correctly says the first born is Prophet Ishmael Ismail meaning Quran 19:46 - Quran 19:49 is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq who the Torah Taurat correctly says is the second son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … Allaah's Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).”

3. The good news son in Quran 37:101 is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 19:49 meaning this is the story of the son of Sarah and this is the reason Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 meaning Prophet Ishmael Ismail is in a different story describing the building of the Kabah.

A. Quran 37:98 is Quran 19:46 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is living with his father.

B. Quran 37:99 is Quran 19:47 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

C. Quran 37:100 is Quran 19:48 Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prays.

D. Quran 37:101 (We gave him the good news) is Quran 19:49 (“We gave him Isaac Ishaq”).

A. Quran 37:98 is Quran 19:46.

Quran 37:98 Koran 37:98 And they (the idol worshippers where Prophet Abraham Ibrahim lived with his father) made a plan against him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), but We (Allaah) made them the humiliated (by them being unsuccessful in their efforts to kill Prophet Abraham Ibrahim).

Quran 19:46 Verse 19:46 He (Terah, the father of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, “Are you rejecting my gods Abraham Ibrahim? If you do not stop (rejecting my gods) then I shall surely stone you (to death) so go away from me for a long time.”

B. Quran 37:99 is Quran 19:47.

Quran 37:99 Koran 37:99 And he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, I am going to (pray to) my Lord (Allaah) who shall guide me.

Quran 19:47 Verse 19:47 He (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, “Peace to you (my father Terah). I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord (Allaah) for you (my father Terah). He (Allaah) is always merciful to me.”

C. Quran 37:100 is Quran 19:48.

Quran 37:100 Koran 37:100 (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim said) “My Lord (Allaah), Grant me a righteous (son)."

Quran 19:48 Verse 19:48 “I (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) shall go away from you (my father Terah) and the (stone idols) to which you pray, instead (of praying to) Allaah (as you should), and I shall pray to my Lord (Allaah). It may be that, in prayer to my Lord (Allaah), I shall not be unblessed (meaning, I shall not be unhappy with what Allaah gives to me).”

D. Quran 37:101 is Quran 19:49.

Quran 37:101 Koran 37:101 (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) So We (Allaah through His angels) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of a forbearing (meaning patient, not complaining) son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51).

Quran 19:49 Verse 19:49 So, when he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) had gone away from them (his father and his idol worshipping community) and that which they were worshipping (the stone idols) instead of (praying to) Allaah (as they should), We (Allaah) gave him Isaac Ishaq and Jacob Yaqub. Each of them We (Allaah) made a prophet.

4. Quran 37:101 (We gave him the good news) is Quran 19:49 (“We gave him Isaac Ishaq”) is followed by Quran 37:102.

Quran 37:102 Koran 37:102 Then when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I have seen in the dream that I am sacrificing you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching and as proof that no one can change the word of Allaah in the Books of Allaah. The proof that Allaah is real is that the word of Allaah is protected in all the Books of Allaah today. The proof that Allaah is not real is that the word of Allaah that is with the Jews today in their Torah Taurat and with the Christians today in their Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and with the Muslims today in their Quran are not protected. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by claiming that "humans changed Allaah's word" in the Books of Allaah that are with the Jews today or with the Christians today or with the Muslims today meaning that without understanding what they have said they unknowingly give the proof that Allaah does not exist by claiming or believing that Allaah's word is not protected in the Torah Taurat or in the Gospel Injil or in the Quran that are with all the humans today. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, if Allaah wills you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”

5. The good news son in Quran 37:112 is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq and he is given to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim a second time as good news by the angel of Allaah when Allaah stopped the sacrifice.

Quran 37:112 Koran 37:112 (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) And We (Allaah) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of Isaac Ishaq (a second time after Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:102 - 37:107 and blessed Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:108 - 37:111. The good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51), a prophet of the righteous (requested in Quran 37:100 and given by Allaah as the good news son in Quran 37:101 and when in Quran 37:102 Prophet Isaac Ishaq is old enough to work with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim they both understand the vision in a dream that showed Prophet Isaac Ishaq will be sacrificed and is remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. The righteous good news son is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:112 and Allaah blesses both the father Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:113. Quran 11:69 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 11:74 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 29:31 which mentions good news is related to Quran 29:27 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 which mentions good news is related to Quran 37:112 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq because good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran).

Note 1. The proof that Allaah is real is that humans could not change the word of Allaah in the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim.

B. Does it matter who was sacrificed?

Yes because if the Quran and Torah Taurat agree the son in the sacrifice is Isaac Ishaq it means no one changed the word of Allaah in the Torah Taurat.

Today many Muslims are taught the Torah Taurat was changed and the best proof is the name of the son in the sacrifice and this has encouraged some Muslims to find hundreds of proofs the Torah Taurat was changed (without asking knowledgeable Jews to explain anything to them) in the same way as some Christians find hundreds of proofs that the Quran is not from Allaah (without asking knowledgeable Muslims to explain anything to them).

The belief of the first Muslims is that there are no contradictions between the Quran and the Torah Taurat meaning both come from Allaah as proof Allaah is real and as proof no one can change the word of Allaah.

Today the belief of some Muslims is that the Torah Taurat contradicts the Quran meaning they believe humans changed the written word of Allaah meaning they unknowingly give the proof that Allaah is not real because humans changed the written word of Allaah in the Torah Taurat which Allaah has commanded be observed forever by every generation of the children of Israel who must observe the Sabbath Day in all of their generations as a never ending covenant agreement between them and Allaah.

Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."

Note 1. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat which is with the Jewish people forever.

Quran 28:48 Koran 28:48 But when the truth came to them (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) from Us (Allaah), they said, “Why is he (Prophet Muhammad M Mim م M-uhammad م-uhammad) not given (signs) like what was given to Prophet Moses Musa (represented by Mount Sinai S’ Sin س Sin-ai س-ai)? But did they (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) not disbelieve in what was given to Prophet Moses Musa in the past? (Because) they say, “(They are both only books about magic) two magic (books the Torah Taurat T Ta ط Ta-urat ط-urat given by Allaah to Prophet Moses Musa and the Quran Q Qaf ق Qaf-uran ق-uran given by Allaah to Prophet Muhammad) supporting each other” and they (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) say, “In all (that is in the Torah Taurat and the Quran) we do not believe.”

Quran 28:49 Koran 28:49 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia), “Then bring a Book from Allaah that gives better guidance than these two (the Torah Taurat and the Quran) so that I (Prophet Muhammad) may follow it, if you are telling the truth.”

Note 1. The best guidance is the Quran and the Torah Taurat meaning both are correctly understood when they confirm and explain each other.

Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 "... Whoever has no faith in His (Allaah’s) … Books then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).

C. Was someone sacrificed in the vision dream before the birth of Isaac Ishaq?

In the Torah Taurat both Isaac Ishaq and Ishmael Ismail are living together before the sacrifice but when Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar are sent into the desert then the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim is Isaac Ishaq and this is why Allaah says “sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq” in the Torah Taurat.

The story in the Quran about the birth of Isaac Ishaq does not mention the birth of Ishmael Ismail because it is only telling us about the son of Sarah.

In both the Quran and in the Torah Taurat Allaah gives the good news of Isaac Ishaq two times.

The first time is the angel of Allaah giving Abraham Ibrahim the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.

The second time is the angel of Allaah giving Abraham Ibrahim the good news that Allaah has stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and gave him a second time to Abraham Ibrahim.

D. How can we know that the Quran and Torah Taurat do not contradict each other meaning the son who is sacrificed in both books is Isaac Ishaq?

First the Quran says that if the Quran was not from Allaah then you would find contradictions in the Quran.

Second hadith stories show that most of the first Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed was Isaac Ishaq.

Quran 4:82 Koran 4:82 Do they not think about the Quran (and where it came from)? Had it (the Quran) been (revealed) from someone other than Allaah surely they would have found in it (the Quran) much contradiction (within it and between it and the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil. The Quran confirms the Tanakh Jewish Scripture is correct as shown here https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/understanding-the-jewish-scripture  and the Quran explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John here https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/is-jesus-god  ).

Note 1. If humans could change the word of Allaah it would be proof that Allaah does not exist.

Note 2. If humans could change the word of Allaah then no one would believe the promise of life after death.

The Torah Taurat in Judaism and the Letter of James (who is the brother of Jesus) in Christianity and the Quran in Islam all agree that the son in the vision dream of the sacrifice was Isaac Ishaq as proof Allaah is real.

If the Books of Allaah contradicted each other it would be proof that they were invented by humans meaning the proof that Allaah exists or does not exist can be found in the story of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice.

Epistle of James 2:20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?

Epistle of James 2:21 Was not our ancestor Abraham Ibrahim considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac Ishaq on the altar?

Epistle of James 2:22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together and his faith was made complete by what he did.

Note 1. The proof that Allaah is real is that humans could not change the word of Allaah in the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim.

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

Note 1. The proof that Allaah is real is that humans could not change the word of Allaah in the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim.

Quran 37:101 Koran 37:101 (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) So We (Allaah through His angels) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of a forbearing (meaning patient, not complaining) son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51).

Quran 37:112 Koran 37:112 (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) And We (Allaah) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of Isaac Ishaq (a second time after Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:102 - 37:107 and blessed Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:108 - 37:111. The good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51), a prophet of the righteous (requested in Quran 37:100 and given by Allaah as the good news son in Quran 37:101 and when in Quran 37:102 Prophet Isaac Ishaq is old enough to work with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim they both understand the vision in a dream that showed Prophet Isaac Ishaq will be sacrificed and is remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. The righteous good news son is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:112 and Allaah blesses both the father Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:113. Quran 11:69 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 11:74 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 29:31 which mentions good news is related to Quran 29:27 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 which mentions good news is related to Quran 37:112 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq because good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran).

Note 1. The proof that Allaah is real is that humans could not change the word of Allaah in the famous vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim.

The story of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim in the Torah Taurat.

A. The birth of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in the Torah Taurat.

B. The birth of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat.

C. The separation of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat.

D. The sacrifice of the only son Isaac Ishaq who was still living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine after Ishmael Ismail and Hagar had been sent into the desert.

To correctly understand Jewish scripture you must know that the Septuagint Bible and all Old Testament Bibles are all Christian translations and are not used in Judaism because most contain wrong translations of the Hebrew and some wrong tenses and some different verse numbers.

The original Septuagint Bible only translated the five books of Moses and was destroyed by fire more than 2000 years ago in the Alexandria library in Egypt meaning it does not exist today.

The Jewish people use the following.

A. The Torah Taurat scroll of Prophet Moses Musa containing 304,805 letters which is located in every Synagogue in every country in the world shows how carefully it has been preserved.

B. The books of the prophets who came after Prophet Moses Musa.

C. One book called the Tanakh which contains the writings in the Torah Taurat scroll of Prophet Moses Musa which is in A above and also the books of the prophets who came after Prophet Moses Musa in B above.

The Tanakh Jewish scripture has 3 sections. 

The Torah section containing the law delivered by Prophet Moses Musa in A above, 

The Prophets section who explain problems in B above.

The Writings section which are the solution to the problems described by the prophets in B above.

A. The birth of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in the Torah Taurat.

1. The birth of Ishmael Ismail.

Genesis 16:3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan (today in Israel and Palestine), and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. 

2. The rivalry between Hagar the handmaid and Sarai the mistress who is the woman in authority and in control in the house of Abram Ibram.

Genesis 16:4 And he (Abram Ibram) went into Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress (Sarai) became unimportant in her eyes (and Sarai saw how Hagar had changed in her behavour towards her).

Genesis 16:5 And Sarai said to Abram: 'My wrong (meaning the injustice done by Hagar towards me) be upon you (meaning I put the blame of that wrong on you because): I gave my handmaid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became unimportant in her eyes (and you did not say a word to reprimand her): the LORD judge between me (for the wrong done to me) and you (for not saying one word to correct Hagar’s behaviour towards me).

Genesis 16:6 But Abram said to Sarai: 'Look, your maid is in your hand; do to her that which is good in your eyes.' And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she (Hagar) fled from her face.

Genesis 16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her (Hagar) by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur (northern Sinai Peninsula that is before you come to Egypt and mentioned in Genesis 25:18 meaning she was returning to Egypt). 

Genesis 16:8 And he said: 'Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, where did you come from and where are you going?' And she (Hagar) said: 'I flee from the face of my mistress (meaning the woman in authority and in control in the house of Abram Ibram) Sarai.' 

Genesis 16:9 And the angel of the LORD said to her: 'Return to your mistress (Sarai), and submit yourself under her hands.' 

3. Before Hagar gives birth to Ishmael Ismail the angel of Allaah promises Hagar will have many descendants.

Genesis 16:10 And the angel of the LORD said to her: 'I will greatly multiply your seed (descendants so), that it cannot be counted because of the great number. 

Genesis 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said to her: 'Look, you are with child, and shall bear a son; and you shall call his name Ishmael Ismail, because the LORD has heard your suffering. 

Note 1. Before Hagar gives birth to Ishmael Ismail Allaah promises Hagar will have many descendants in Genesis 16:10.

Note 2. Ishmael Ismail means “Allaah has heard” meaning Allaah has heard the suffering of his mother Hagar Hajar in Genesis 16:11.

Torah Genesis 16:12 And he (Ishmael Ismail who Allaah judged as righteous in Genesis 21:20) shall be a wild donkey of a man (in the wilderness meaning he will be quick in movement especially in archery like a wild donkey is quick in movement so that he can survive in the wilderness): his hand shall be against every man (meaning he will be inclined to be against the people he meets because of the dangers a person who is always travelling faces from strangers), and every man's hand against him (meaning the people he meets will not know him and will be inclined against him until these strangers become like brethren); and he (Prophet Ishmael Ismail will be an archer who will live for 137 years and will always be travelling and hunting for food so that at some time in his life Prophet Ishmael Ismail) shall live next to (the borders of) all his brethren. (In the same way Allaah revealed that Prophet Muhammad ignored a blind man in Quran 80:1 - 80:10 as a reminder that humans are not Allaah so that humans worship Allaah and not the messengers of Allaah).

Note 1. Righteous people are humans.

Note 2. Genesis 25:18 And they (the children of Ishmael Ismail) lived from Havilah (Arabia, today Saudi Arabia in the south) to Shur (northern Sinai Peninsula in the west) that is before (you come to) Egypt, (and) as you go toward Asshur (Assyria today in Iraq in the east): he (Ishmael Ismail being an archer who lived for 137 years was always travelling and hunting for food so that at some time in his life Ishmael Ismail had) settled next to (the borders of) all his brethren.

B. The birth of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat.

4. The promise of Allaah that Abraham Ibrahim will be the father of many nations.

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him: 'I am Allaah Almighty; walk before Me, and you be wholehearted.

Genesis 17:5 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram Ibram, but your name shall be Abraham Ibrahim; because the father of a multitude of nations have I made  (decreed for) you (through your descendants).

Note 1. When Abram Ibram is 99 years old Allaah gave him the new name of Abraham Ibrahim meaning “father of many.”

Genesis 17:15 And Allaah said to Abraham Ibrahim: 'As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 

Genesis 17:16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son of her (named Isaac Ishaq); yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her (who will descend from Isaac Ishaq through Jacob Yaqub Israel and the 12 children of Israel and through Esau who is the brother of Jacob Yaqub Israel).' 

Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham Ibrahim fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart: 'Shall a child be born to him (Abraham Ibrahim) that is a hundred years old and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear (a son)?

Note 1. Isaac Ishaq is born one year later when Abraham Ibrahim is 100 years old and Sarah is 90 years old and Ishmael Ismail is 14 years old.

5. The circumcision of everyone who was living in the house of Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine. 

Genesis 17:24 And Abraham Ibrahim was ninety nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 

Genesis 17:25 And Ishmael Ismail his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 

Genesis 17:26 In that same day Abraham Ibrahim was circumcised, and Ishmael Ismail his son. 

Genesis 17:27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those of a foreigner bought with money, were circumcised with him.

6. The birth of Isaac Ishaq and his circumcision in the house of Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine. 

Genesis 21:4 And Abraham Ibrahim circumcised his son Isaac Ishaq when he was eight days old, as Allaah had commanded him (in Genesis 17:12). 

Genesis 21:5 And Abraham Ibrahim was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac Ishaq was born to him.

Note 1. Isaac Ishaq is born when Abraham Ibrahim is 100 years old and Sarah is 90 years old and Ishmael Ismail is 14 years old.

C. The separation of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat.

7. The separation of Isaac Ishaq when he is 2 years old from Ishmael Ismail when he is 16 years old to fulfill the promise that Abraham Ibrahim would be the father of many nations.

Genesis 21:8 And the child grew, and was weaned. And Abraham Ibrahim made a great feast on the day that Isaac Ishaq was weaned.

Note 1. Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq live in the same house.

Note 2. If Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq continued to live in the same house then the promise of Allaah that Abraham Ibrahim will be the father of many nations will not be fulfilled.

Note 3. Genesis 21:9 - 21:14 describes how Allaah separates Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq so that many nations come from their descendants to fulfil the promise of Allaah that Abraham Ibrahim will be the father of many nations in Genesis 17:5 – 17:22.

Note 4. If Isaac Ishaq is 2 years old at the great feast then Ishmael Ismail is 16 years old at the great feast in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine.

Genesis 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she (Hagar) had borne to Abraham Ibrahim (the son Ishmael Ismail), making sport (making fun meaning teasing his baby brother Isaac Ishaq which made Sarah angry and caused the brothers to separate to fulfill the prophecy that Abraham Ibrahim would be the father of many nations both Arabic and Hebrew which would not happen if both brothers lived together in the same house and to show that Ishmael Ismail who was a prophet was human as a reminder to worship Allaah and not the prophets of Allaah).

Note 1. When Sarah is described with Ishmael Ismail he is called “the son of Hagar” to show the separation between Sarah and Ishmael Ismail.

8. Isaac Ishaq is the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim when Ishmael Ismail and Hagar are sent into the desert in Genesis 21:10 – 21:14.

Genesis 21:10 And she said to Abraham Ibrahim: 'Cast out this servant woman and her son; for the son of this servant woman shall not be heir with my son, Isaac Ishaq.'

Note 1. When Sarah talks about Ishmael Ismail she calls him “her (Hagar’s) son” to show the separation between Sarah and Ishmael Ismail.

Genesis 21:11 And the thing (the request from Sarah to send Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away) was very grievous (distressing) in Abraham's Ibrahim’s sight on account of his son (whom he loved).

Note 1. When Abraham Ibrahim is described with Ishmael Ismail he calls him “his son” to show there is no separation between Abraham Ibrahim and Ishmael Ismail.

Genesis 21:12 And Allaah said to Abraham Ibrahim: 'Let it not be grievous (distressing) in your sight because of the lad (Ishmael Ismail), and because of your servant woman (Hagar); in all that Sarah said to you, listen to her voice (meaning what Allaah has decreed has been told to Abraham Ibrahim through Sarah); because in Isaac Ishaq shall seed (the descendants Jacob Yaqub Israel and the children of Israel) be called to you (and the righteous among them will follow in your footsteps).

Note 1. When Allaah talks to Abraham Ibrahim his son Ishmael Ismail is called “lad” meaning boy.

Note 2. Prophet Joseph Yusuf is called “a lad” at the age of 17 in Genesis 37:2.

Note 3. “A little lad” is a person who is younger than ‘a lad” but he is not a baby because he can be trusted to carry weapons and arrows in 1 Samuel 20:35 - 20:40.

Note 4. Isaac Ishaq is called “the lad” and Abraham Ibrahim carries the fire and gives Isaac Ishaq the wood to carry for the sacrifice in Genesis 22:5 - 22:6.

Genesis 21:13 And also of the son of the servant woman I will make a nation, because he (Ishmael Ismail) is your seed (off spring and the descendants of Ishmael Ismail and the righteous among them will follow in your footsteps).'

Note 1. When Allaah talks to Abraham Ibrahim his son Ishmael Ismail is called “son” meaning boy.

Genesis 21:14 And Abraham Ibrahim arose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and (gave) the child (Ishmael Ismail), and sent her away; and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba (Canaan, Palestine, Israel and became lost in the desert). 

Note 1. When Abraham Ibrahim gives Ishmael Ismail to Hagar he is called child because when a father loves his son that son will always be his child.

Note 2. A teenager is like a child if they are unwell or sick and this might be the reason Abraham Ibrahim gave both the water and food to Hagar and why Ishmael Ismail is first to come close to death from thirst in the desert.

Note 3. Would Abraham Ibrahim send his sick son and his mother with only a small amount of water and some bread into the desert where they are sure to die is the same question which would come again later which is would Abraham Ibrahim sacrifice the only son Isaac Ishaq who is still living with him after he had sent Ishmael Ismail and Hagar into the desert meaning these two tests ask the question will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?

Note 4. Genesis 16:7 shows Hagar had experience travelling alone in the desert when she walked alone from Canaan intending to return to Egypt therefore it is possible that such a woman was better able to manage her thirst when their water had finished compared to Ishmael Ismail even if Ishmael Ismail was not sick on that day.

Note 5. Abraham Ibrahim gave everything to Hagar means he made her responsible for the water and for the bread and for Ishmael Ismail and shows that she was only given a small amount of water and bread which was easy for one woman to carry.

Genesis 21:15 And the water in the bottle was spent (ended), and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

Note 1. The first person nearing death from thirst is Ishmael Ismail compared to Hagar his  Egyptian mother.

Note 2. “Cast” means she quickly put him under shrubs as protection from the Sun,

Note 3. Ishmael Ismail is called child because when a mother loves her son that son will always be her child especially at a time when he is near death from thirst and she does everything to help him like she did when he was a baby.

Genesis 21:16 And she went, and sat down a distance a bow-shot away; for she thought: 'Let me not look on the death of the child.' And she sat that far from him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. 

Note 1. Ishmael Ismail is called child because when a mother loves her son that son will always be her child especially at a time when he is near death from thirst and she cannot do anything more for him but cry.

Genesis 21:17 And Allaah heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of Allaah called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her: 'What is troubling you, Hagar? Do not fear; because Allaah has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

Note 1. Notice that Allaah is responding to Ishmael Ismail meaning Ishmael Ismail is at the age where he knows Allaah and he knows how to pray.

Note 2. Notice that Allaah is responding to Ishmael Ismail meaning the prayers from a person who is sick is more effective than others who pray for him and such prayer is the first to be accepted.

Note 3. When Allaah talks to Hagar through an angel her son Ishmael Ismail is called “lad” meaning boy.

Note 4. Prophet Joseph Yusuf is called “a lad” at the age of 17 in Genesis 37:2.

Note 5. “A little lad” is a person who is younger than ‘a lad” but he is not a baby because he can be trusted to carry weapons and arrows in 1 Samuel 20:35 - 20:40.

Note 6. Isaac Ishaq is called “the lad” and Abraham Ibrahim carries the fire and gives Isaac Ishaq the wood to carry for the sacrifice in Genesis 22:5 - 22:6.

Genesis 21:18 Standup (Hagar), lift up the lad (with your right hand and help him to standup), and hold him fast by your hand; for I (Allaah speaking through the angel of Allaah) will make him a great nation (so that what was promised in Genesis 21:13 will be fulfilled).' 

Note 1. When Allaah talks to Hagar through an angel her son Ishmael Ismail is called “lad” meaning boy.

Note 2. Notice that Ishmael Ismail is near death because he could not stand without assistance.

Genesis 21:19 And Allaah opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. 

Note 1. When Allaah talks to Hagar through an angel her son Ishmael Ismail is called “lad” meaning boy.

Note 2. Notice that Ishmael Ismail is near death because his mother gets water for him.

9. Isaac Ishaq is the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine when Ishmael Ismail is living in the wilderness in Genesis 21:20.

Genesis 21:20 And Allaah was with the lad (Ishmael Ismail), and he (Ishmael Ismail) grew; and he lived in the wilderness, and became an archer. 

Note 1. Allaah describes Ishmael Ismail saying Allaah was with the “lad” meaning Allaah was with the “boy” meaning Ishmael Ismail was righteous in the sight of Allaah.

Genesis 21:21 And he (Ishmael Ismail) lived in the wilderness of Paran (Sinai peninsula today Egypt and Arabia today Saudi Arabia); and his mother (Hagar Hajar) took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

Genesis 21:33 And Abraham Ibrahim planted a tamarisk-tree in Beer-sheba (Canaan, Palestine, Israel), and called there on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting Allaah.

Genesis 21:34 And Abraham Ibrahim lived in the land of the Philistines (Canaan, Palestine, Israel) for a long time.

D. The sacrifice of the only son Isaac Ishaq who was still living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine after Ishmael Ismail and Hagar had been sent into the desert.

10. In Genesis chapter 22 Allaah tells Abraham Ibrahim to sacrifice his only son Isaac Ishaq who is still living with him in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine after Abraham Ibrahim had already given Ishmael Ismail and Hagar many years before in Genesis chapter 21.

Genesis 22:1 And after these things (described in Genesis chapter 21), Allaah (through the angel of Allaah) tested Abraham Ibrahim, and said to him: 'Abraham’ (Ibrahim); and he said: 'Here I am.'

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

Genesis 22:3 And Abraham Ibrahim rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac Ishaq his son; and he split the wood for the burnt-offering, and stood up, and went to the place which Allaah had told him.

Note 1. Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in Genesis chapter 22 (the sacrifice) like Ishmael Ismail is not mentioned in Quran chapter 37 (the sacrifice) because in Genesis chapter 21 (Genesis 21:21) Ishmael Ismail is living in the wilderness after leaving the home of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine.

Note 2. After the death of Prophet Muhammad some Muslims made the error to believe that the son who was to be sacrificed was Ishmael Ismail because they did not have faith in the Torah Taurat as commanded in Quran 4:136.

Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … Allaah's Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).”

Note 3. Some Jews believe that one of the two young men in Genesis 22:3 was Ishmael Ismail meaning they did not correctly understand the meaning of “take your only son Isaac Ishaq (who still lives with you in Genesis chapter 22 after Ishmael Ismail and Hagar were sent into the desert in Genesis chapter 21) and sacrifice him (Isaac Ishaq)” in a similar way to how some Muslims did not correctly understand the meaning of “take your only son Isaac Ishaq (who still lives with you in Genesis chapter 22 after Ishmael Ismail and Hagar were sent into the desert in Genesis chapter 21) and sacrifice him (Isaac Ishaq).”

Note 4. The teaching in Quran 28:48 – 28:49 is that the best guidance is the Quran and the Torah Taurat meaning both are correctly understood when they confirm and explain each other

Note 5. The teaching in Quran 28:48 – 28:49 is the proof Allaah is real because no one was able to change the word of Allaah in the Torah Taurat.

Note 6. The teaching in Quran 28:48 – 28:49 is proof the Torah Taurat and the Quran are from Allaah meaning they confirm and explain each other.

Quran 28:48 Koran 28:48 But when the truth came to them (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) from Us (Allaah), they said, “Why is he (Prophet Muhammad M Mim م M-uhammad م-uhammad) not given (signs) like what was given to Prophet Moses Musa (represented by Mount Sinai S’ Sin س Sin-ai س-ai)? But did they (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) not disbelieve in what was given to Prophet Moses Musa in the past? (Because) they say, “(They are both only books about magic) two magic (books the Torah Taurat T Ta ط Ta-urat ط-urat given by Allaah to Prophet Moses Musa and the Quran Q Qaf ق Qaf-uran ق-uran given by Allaah to Prophet Muhammad) supporting each other” and they (the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia) say, “In all (that is in the Torah Taurat and the Quran) we do not believe.”

Quran 28:49 Koran 28:49 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the stone idol worshippers of Makkah Arabia), “Then bring a Book from Allaah that gives better guidance than these two (the Torah Taurat and the Quran) so that I (Prophet Muhammad) may follow it, if you are telling the truth.”

Note 1. The best guidance is the Quran and the Torah Taurat meaning both are correctly understood when they confirm and explain each other.

Genesis 22:4 On the third day Abraham Ibrahim lifted up his eyes, and saw the place far off. 

Genesis 22:5 And Abraham Ibrahim said to his young men: “You stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship, and come back to you.”

Note 1. Isaac Ishaq is called “the lad” meaning boy and Abraham Ibrahim carries the fire and gives Isaac Ishaq the wood to carry for the sacrifice in Genesis 22:5 - 22:6.

Note 2. When Allaah talks to Hagar through an angel her son Ishmael Ismail is called “lad” meaning boy when Ishmael Ismail is 16 years old and he is sent into the desert in Genesis 21:8 – 21:20 meaning the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim is Isaac Ishaq.

Note 3. Prophet Joseph Yusuf is called “a lad” at the age of 17 in Genesis 37:2.

Note 4. “A little lad” is a person who is younger than ‘a lad” but he is not a baby because he can be trusted to carry weapons and arrows in 1 Samuel 20:35 - 20:40.

Genesis 22:6 And Abraham Ibrahim took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac Ishaq his son (to carry); and he (Abraham Ibrahim) took in his hand the fire and the knife; and both of them went together. 

Genesis 22:7 And Isaac Ishaq spoke to Abraham Ibrahim his father, and said: 'My father.' And he said: 'Here I am, my son.' And he said: 'Look the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?'

Genesis 22:8 And Abraham Ibrahim said: Allaah will provide Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son.' So both of them went together. 

Genesis 22:9 And they came to the place which Allaah had told him of; and Abraham Ibrahim built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound (tied) Isaac Ishaq his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood. 

Genesis 22:10 And Abraham Ibrahim stretched out his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 

Genesis 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called to him out of heaven, and said: 'Abraham, Abraham.' (Ibrahim, Ibrahim) And he said: 'Here I am.' 

Genesis 22:12 And he said: 'Lay not your hand on the lad, neither do anything to him; for now I know that you are a Allaah-fearing man, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son (who still lives with you), from Me (Allaah, after you gave Me your first son Ishmael Ismail in the desert many years ago in Genesis chapter 21).' 

Genesis 22:13 And Abraham Ibrahim lifted up his eyes, and looked, and saw behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. And Abraham Ibrahim went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering instead of his son (Isaac Ishaq). 

Note 1. Allaah provided the ram as the sacrifice for Himself.

Note 2. By stopping the sacrifice Allaah saved Isaac Ishaq and fulfilled the promise that Isaac Ishaq would have children as proof that Allaah always fulfils His promises and to teach humans that Allaah forbids human sacrifice in Quran 17:31, Quran 16:57 - 16:59, Quran 81:8 - 81:9, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:3, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 24:16, Hosea 6:6, Jeremiah 7:22 - 7:23, Psalm 40:7 in Tanakh Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bibles and Micah 6:7 - 6:8.

Genesis 22:14 And Abraham Ibrahim called the name of that place Adonai-jireh; as it is said to this day: 'In the mount where the LORD is seen.' 

Note 1. The Temple Mount is the location of the first and second temples were the presence of Allaah is seen and is the location towards which Jews pray and the first Muslims prayed until a new direction of pray towards the Kabah in Makkah was revealed for Muslims.

Genesis 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham Ibrahim a second time out of heaven, 

Genesis 22:16 and said: 'By Myself (by My name) have I sworn, said the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son (who still lives with you after you gave your first son Ishmael Ismail to the care of Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), 

Genesis 22:17 that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed (descendants) like the stars of the heaven, and like the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed (descendants) shall possess the gate of his enemies (meaning all those who love the righteous among your descendants will be blessed); 

Genesis 22:18 and in your seed (descendants) all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because you have listened to My voice.' 

Genesis 22:19 So Abraham Ibrahim returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham Ibrahim lived at Beer-sheba (Canaan today in Israel and Palestine).

Introduction.

1. Everything we are told about Prophet Ishmael Ismail in the hadith story from Prophet Muhammad claimed to be through Ibn Abbas is in the Koran Quran and/or the Torah Taurat.

The hadith story from Prophet Muhammad says nothing about Prophet Ishmael Ismail being sacrificed because both the Koran Quran and Torah Taurat agree that the son to be sacrificed was Prophet Isaac Ishaq.

2. The hadith story from Prophet Muhammad claimed to be through Ibn Abbas shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already passed the age at which he was ready to work (which is the age when the son was to be sacrificed) because before he again met Prophet Abraham Ibrahim he had already married twice and he was already working to support a second wife after divorcing his first wife. 

3. Prophet Muhammad hadith claimed to be through Ibn Abbas about Prophet Ishmael Ismail shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim as confirmation that no one changed the Torah Taurat because humans do not have the power to change the word of Allaah in the Books of Allaah as explained in Part B.

 Part A.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail hadith stories.

1. Prophet Muhammad hadith story shows why Prophet Ishmael Ismail cannot be the son sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

Story hadith from Ibn Abbas the cousin of Prophet Muhammad.

1.1 The sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the Quran.

Quran 37:102 And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….” (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).

1.2 How does Prophet Muhammad show that Prophet Ishmael Ismail cannot be the son sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim?

In two Hadith stories collected by Bukhari (810 – 870 AD, 810 – 870 CE, 194 – 256 AH) Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 583 and Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 584 Prophet Muhammad gave the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and showed that when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was old enough to work he was not with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

The two Hadiths also show that the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is not part of the life story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

2. First story hadith from Ibn Abbas the cousin of Prophet Muhammad.

(Comments are in brackets).

2.1 First story hadith about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

2.1 First hadith story about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

(Prophet Muhammad tells the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail starting at the time when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim leaves Prophet Ishmael Ismail when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby in the desert with his mother).

In Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 583 Narrated by Ibn Abbas (the cousin of Prophet Muhammad): The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael Ismail. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah.

(In this story Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby when Ishmael Ismail was with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim).

Abraham Ibrahim brought her and her son Ishmael Ismail while she was suckling him, to a place near the Kaaba Kabah (in Arabia today Saudi Arabia) under a tree on the spot of Zam-zam at the highest place in the mosque.

During those days there was nobody in Mecca Makkah nor was there any water so he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. 

(In this story Prophet Abraham Ibrahim leaves baby Ishmael Ismail and his Mother Hagar Hajar in the desert).

Ishmael's Ismail’s mother followed him saying, "O Abraham Ibrahim, Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to sustain us)?"

She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her.

Then she asked him, "Has Allaah ordered you to do so?"

He said, "Yes."

She said, "Then He (Allaah) will not neglect us," and returned.

While Abraham Ibrahim proceeded onwards and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Kaaba Kabah and raising both hands, invoked Allaah saying the following prayers, “O our Lord, I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (The Kaaba Kabah) in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayer perfectly.”

“So fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allaah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.” (Quran 14:37).

Ishmael's Ismail’s mother went on suckling (baby) Ishmael Ismail (by giving him her breast milk) and (she was) drinking from the water (she had).

When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty.

She started looking at him (Ishmael Ismail) tossing in agony (from the need of more milk to drink).

She left him because she could not endure looking at him and found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land.

She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody but she could not see anybody.

Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody, but she could not see anybody.

She repeated that (running between Safa and Marwa) seven times."

The Prophet (Muhammad) said, "This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them (Mount Safa and Mount Marwa)."

When she reached the Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively.

She heard the voice again and said, “O, (whoever you may be), You have made me hear your voice. Have you got something to help me?"

And behold, She saw an angel at the place of Zam-zam digging the earth with his heel (or his wing) till water flowed from that place.

She started to make something like a basin around it using her hand in this way, and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it."

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "May Allaah bestow Mercy on Ishmael's Ismail’s mother, Had she let the Zam-zam (flow without trying to control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin) (then) Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth."

The Prophet (Muhammad) further added, "Then she drank (water) and suckled her (baby) child (by giving him her breast milk).

The angel said to her, “Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allaah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allaah never neglects His people.”

The House (The Kaaba Kabah) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock and when torrents (of water) came they flowed to its right and left.

She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (the Jurhum people) were coming through the way of Kada'.

They (the Jurhum people) landed in the lower part of Mecca Makkah where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it.

They (the Jurhum people) said, “This bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this valley.”

They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water and returned to inform them of the water.

So, they all came (towards the water).

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "Ishmael's Ismail’s mother was sitting near the water.”

They asked her, “Do you allow us to stay with you?"

She replied, “Yes, but you will have no right to possess the water.”

They agreed to that.

The Prophet (Muhammad) further said, "Ishmael's Ismail’s mother was pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So they settled there and later on they (the Jurhum people) sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there.

The child (Ishmael Ismail) grew up and learnt Arabic from them (the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum) and (his virtues) caused them to love and admire him as he grew up, and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from among them.

(Comments before continuing the hadith story 1:

Prophet Muhammad showed that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the first Arab.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail lived with Arabs and learned the Arabic language which means some Arabs today are the descendants of the earlier Arabs such as the tribe of Jurhum and others are descendants of Ishmael Ismail.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail grew up in Mecca Makkah.

Prophet Muhammad has not mentioned the sacrifice that would have occurred by this time as according to Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).”

(By the end of this hadith story Prophet Muhammad shall have described the life of Prophet Ishmael Ismail, the death of Ishmael’s Ismail’s mother and Ishmael’s Ismail’s marriages and his building of the Kaaba Kabah and his skill in arrows but there is no mention of the sacrifice of Prophet Ishmael Ismail, just as Allaah in the Quran does not mention Ishmael’s Ismail’s name anywhere in chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim).

(Later in this hadith story Prophet Muhammad says that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim came to Ishmael Ismail after Ishmael Ismail had already married and his mother had died but Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not see Ishmael Ismail until Ishmael Ismail had been married for a second time.

This shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son that was to be sacrificed because according to Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son)” but Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was not with Prophet Ishmael Ismail until after the time that Ishmael Ismail was of working age because Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already married two times before his father saw him again.

So Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son sacrificed “when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).”

(In the hadith story that continues below we are told that “Abraham Ibrahim came after Ishmael's Ismail’s marriage in order to see his family that he had left before”).

(In this story from Prophet Muhammad, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim meets Ishmael Ismail two times. First when Ishmael Ismail is a baby in the desert and the second time is after Ishmael Ismail is a man who has married twice and then they build the Kaaba Kabah). They also meet twice in this same way according to Allaah in the Quran).

(In the story hadith that continues below we are told that “Abraham Ibrahim came after Ishmael's Ismail’s marriage in order to see his family that he had left before” means Abraham Ibrahim came after Ishmael's Ismail’s marriage in order to see his family that he had left before when Ishmael Ismail was a baby in the desert).

(In the story hadith that continues below Prophet Ishmael Ismail is already a working married man providing food for his wife “searching of our livelihood” when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim meets him for the first time after he saw him as a baby).

(The hadith story 1 continues. The story hadith 1 continues).

After Ishmael's Ismail’s mother (Hagar Hajar) had died, Abraham Ibrahim came after Ishmael's Ismail’s marriage in order to see his family that he had left before (when Ishmael Ismail was a baby), but he did not find Ishmael Ismail there (in Mecca Makkah).

When he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) asked Ishmael's Ismail’s wife about him (Prophet Ishmael Ismail), she replied, “He (Ishmael Ismail) has gone in search of our livelihood.”

Then he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she replied, “We are living in misery, hardship and destitution,” complaining to him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim).

He (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, “When your husband (Prophet Ishmael Ismail) returns, convey my salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).”

When Ishmael Ismail came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, “Has anyone visited you?”

She replied, “Yes, an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him, and he asked about our state of living, and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty.”

On that Ishmael Ismail said, “Did he advise you anything?”

She replied, “Yes, he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.” 

Ishmael Ismail said, “It was my father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.” So, Ishmael Ismail divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum).

(Comments before continuing the hadith story 1:

Some might say Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had visited before but that is not what Prophet Muhammad has said.

Prophet Muhammad has said each time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim came Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not there.

It is known that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not attend any of the weddings of Prophet Ishmael Ismail because none of Ishmael’s Ismail’s wives knew Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

This is also an indication that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had never been seen in Mecca Makkah by them in what was a community of a very small number of people.

Very few people lived in Mecca Makkah because no people lived their when baby Ishmael Ismail and his mother first arrived.

If Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had been there before he would be recognised by this very small community.

If Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did visit before why has Prophet Muhammad not mentioned the sacrifice when he has mentioned everything else that we know of Prophet Ishmael Ismail?

Some might ask, How would Prophet Ishmael Ismail know it was his father that visited if he had never known him since being a baby?

The answer is that Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s mother would have told Ishmael Ismail about his father before she died and mentioned to him how Allaah cared for them when Ishmael Ismail was a baby and how an Angel said “Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allaah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allaah never neglects His people.”

Therefore Prophet Ishmael Ismail knew his father would come one day and that is how Prophet Ishmael Ismail knew that the visitor whom he had never seen was his father.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail was expecting he would come one day to fulfill Allaah’s promise that Abraham Ibrahim and Ishmael Ismail would build the house for the worship of Allaah). 

(In the story hadith that continues below, Prophet Muhammad tells us that Ishmael Ismail was already past the beginning of working age.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not a boy waiting to reach the age of working.

Quran 37:102 And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….” (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).

(However this hadith story says Ishmael Ismail is already a working married man “searching for our livelihood” means working to feed his wife).

(The hadith story 1 continues. The story hadith 1 continues).

Then Abraham Ibrahim stayed away from them (who were in Mecca Makkah) for a period as long as Allaah wished and called on them again but (again) did not find Ishmael Ismail.

So he came to Ishmael's Ismail’s wife and asked her about Ishmael Ismail.

She said, “He (Prophet Ishmael Ismail) has gone in search of our livelihood”

Abraham Ibrahim asked her, “How are you getting on?” asking her about their sustenance and living.

She replied, “We are prosperous and well-off (we have everything we need).”'

Then she thanked Allaah.

Abraham Ibrahim said, “What kind of food do you eat?”

She said, “Meat.”

He said, “What do you drink?”

She said, “Water."

He said, "O Allaah, Bless their meat and water."

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain, he would have also invoked Allaah to bless it."

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "If somebody has only these two things (meat and water) as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected, unless he lives in Mecca Makkah."

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "Then Abraham Ibrahim said (to) Ishmael's Ismail’s wife, “When your husband comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.”

When Ishmael Ismail came back, he asked his wife, “Did anyone call on you?”

She replied, “Yes, a good-looking old man came to me,” so she praised him and added, “He asked about you, and I informed him, and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition.” 

Ishmael Ismail asked her, “Did he give you any piece of advice?”

She said, “Yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.”

On that Ishmael Ismail said, “It was my father, and you are the threshold (of the gate).”

“He has ordered me to keep you with me.”

(Comments before continuing the hadith story1:

In the story hadith that continues below, Prophet Muhammad shows that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim only meets Prophet Ishmael Ismail after Prophet Ishmael Ismail has married a second time.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail has gained in age, passed the time of the sacrifice in Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….) (that is the time Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) was to sacrifice his son).”

(However this hadith story says Ishmael Ismail is already a working married man “searching for our livelihood” means working to feed his wife).

(The hadith story 1 continues. The story hadith 1 continues).

Then Abraham Ibrahim stayed away from them (who were in Mecca Makkah) for a period as long as Allaah wished, and called on them afterwards.

He (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) saw Ishmael Ismail under a tree near Zamzam, sharpening his arrows. When he (Prophet Ishmael Ismail) saw Abraham Ibrahim, he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Abraham Ibrahim said, “O Ishmael Ismail, Allaah has given me an order.” 

Ishmael Ismail said, “Do what your Lord (Allaah) has ordered you to do.”

Abraham Ibrahim asked, “Will you help me?” 

Ishmael Ismail said, “I will help you.”

Abraham Ibrahim said, “Allaah has ordered me to build a house here,” pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it.

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "Then they raised the foundations of the House (The Kaaba Kabah).

Ishmael Ismail brought the stones and Abraham Ibrahim was building and when the walls became high (then) Ishmael Ismail brought this stone and put it (down) for Abraham Ibrahim who stood over it and (Abraham Ibrahim lifted that stone and) carried on building, while Ishmael Ismail was handing him (more of) the stones, and both of them were saying, “O our Lord, Accept (this service) from us, Truly, You are the All-Hearing (and) the All-Knowing.”

The Prophet (Muhammad) added, "Then both of them went on building and going round the Kaaba Kabah saying, “O our Lord (Allaah), Accept (this service) from us, Truly, You are the All-Hearing (and) the All-Knowing." (Quran 2:127). 

(End of the first hadith. End of Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 583 Narrated by Ibn Abbas the cousin of Prophet Muhammad).

Conclusion for hadith story 1.

1. The Prophet Muhammad hadith story claimed to be through Ibn Abbas shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was well past the time when he “was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim)” which is the time in Quran 37:102 when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son.

This is because Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not see Prophet Ishmael Ismail until Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already started working and was supporting a wife after his second marriage.

It was because Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already started working as a married man that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had to return 3 times to Mecca Makkah until he was able to meet with Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

So Prophet Ishmael Ismail was well passed the age of being old enough to work because Prophet Ishmael Ismail was already working and twice married before he saw Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

2. This hadith gives the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail mentioning everything except the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the vision dream.

3. Quran Chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and names that son as Prophet Isaac Ishaq is supported by this hadith story as explained in Part B.

4. Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim names Prophet Isaac Ishaq not one time but four times (twice by his name and twice by his title “the good news” son) however Prophet Ishmael Ismail is never mentioned.

5. Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but there is no blessing from Allaah for Prophet Ishmael Ismail because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not in the story of the sacrifice.

6. The Prophet Muhammad hadith story claimed to be through Ibn Abbas shows that the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is not the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

7. The story of the building of the Kaaba Kabah is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

8. How could the Prophet Muhammad hadith claimed to be through Ibn Abbas describe the life of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s marriages and mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s fame for arrows and building of the Kaaba Kabah and not mention the sacrifice of Prophet Ishmael Ismail (just as the Quran does not mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s name anywhere in Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice) unless in fact Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that was to be sacrificed?

9. No conclusion based only on hadith (stories from humans) is protected from error.

10. A conclusion must also be supported by the Quran to be absolutely sure that you are not among the misguided.

11. Look in the Quran to confirm that the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. See Part B.

12. The Quran confirms that Prophet Isaac Ishaq is the son sacrificed in the vision dream of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 38:45 - 38:47 (note Quran 38:48 showing it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father meaning Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with his father during the time of the vision dream in Torah Genesis 22:2) and is proof that no one has the power to change the word of Allaah because the Quran and the Torah Taurat confirm each other as proof from Allaah that Allaah is real and the Quran is the truth. See Part B.

13. Allaah gave Prophet Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice.

The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news delivered by an angel of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.

The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news delivered by an angel that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim. See Part B.

3. Prophet Muhammad shows a second time why Prophet Ishmael Ismail cannot be the son sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

3.1 The sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the Quran.

Quran 37:102 And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….” (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son). 

4. Second story hadith from Ibn Abbas the cousin of Prophet Muhammad.

 (Comments are in brackets).

4.1 Second story hadith about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

4.1 Second hadith story about Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

(Prophet Muhammad tells the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in his second hadith story starting at the time when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim leaves Prophet Ishmael Ismail when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby in the desert and shows that when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was old enough to work he was not with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

When Prophet Ishmael Ismail was “old enough to work” is the age of a boy.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a married man and already working to provide food for his second wife after divorcing his first wife before he again met Prophet Abraham Ibrahim after he had been a baby).

In Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 584 Narrated by Ibn Abbas (the cousin of Prophet Muhammad): When Abraham Ibrahim had disagreements with his (first) wife (Sarah, because of her jealousy of his second wife Hagar Hajar who was Ishmael's Ismail’s mother) he took Ishmael Ismail and his mother (Hagar Hajar) and went away.

They had a water-skin with them containing some water (and) Ishmael's Ismail’s mother used to drink water from the water-skin so that her milk would increase for her child.

When Abraham Ibrahim reached Mecca Makkah, he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned home (to Sarah his first wife).

(Abraham Ibrahim leaves Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar in the desert and goes home to his first wife Sarah.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

Prophet Abraham Ibrahim leaves baby Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar in the desert in “Allaah’s care”).

Ishmael's Ismail’s mother followed him, and when they reached Kada', she called him from behind, “O Abraham Ibrahim, To whom are you leaving us?”

He (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) replied, “(I am leaving you) to Allaah’s (care).”

She said, “I am satisfied to be with Allaah.”

She returned to her place and started drinking water from the water-skin, and her milk increased for her child (baby Ishmael Ismail).

When the water had all been used up, she said to herself, “I'd better go and look so that I may see somebody.”

She climbed the Safa mountain and looked, hoping to see somebody, but in vain.

When she came down to the valley, she ran till she reached the Marwa mountain.

She ran to and fro (between the two mountains) many times.

Then she said to herself, “I had better go and see the state of the child,” she went and found it in a state of one on the point of dying.

She could not endure to watch it dying and said (to herself), “If I go and look, I may find somebody.”

She went and climbed the Safa mountain and looked for a long while but could not find anybody.

So she completed seven rounds (of running) between (Mount) Safa and (Mount) Marwa.

Again she said (to herself), “I had better go back and see the state of the child.”

But suddenly she heard a voice, and she said to that strange voice, “Help us if you can offer any help.” Lo, it was Gabriel (Angel Gabriel Jibril who had made the voice).

Gabriel Jibril hit the earth with his heel like this (Ibn 'Abbas hit the earth with his heel to Illustrate it), and so the water gushed out.

Ishmael's Ismail’s mother was astonished and started digging.

(Abu Al-Qasim) (Prophet Muhammad) said, "If she had left the water, (flow naturally without her intervention) it would have been flowing on the surface of the earth."

Ishmael's Ismail’s mother started drinking from the water and her milk increased for her child.

Afterwards some people of the tribe of Jurhum, while passing through the bottom of the valley, saw some birds, and that astonished them, and they said, 'Birds can only be found at a place where there is water.' They sent a messenger who searched the place and found the water and returned to inform them about it.

Then they all went to her and said, “O Ishmael's Ismail’s mother, shall you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?' (And thus they stayed there).

Later on her boy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them.

(Comments before continuing hadith story 2:

(In the hadith story that continues below, Prophet Mohammed tells us that it is after Prophet Ishmael Ismail reached the age of puberty and married a lady that an idea came to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to visit Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

At this time Prophet Ishmael Ismail has passed the time of the sacrifice in Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son)” so Prophet Muhammad again confirms in this second hadith story that the sacrificed son is not Prophet Ishmael Ismail because for the second time there is no mention of any sacrifice.

“Old enough to work” is the age of a boy but Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a married man and already working to provide food for his second wife (after divorcing his first wife) before he again met Prophet Abraham Ibrahim after he had been a baby.

Some may say that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim visited Prophet Ishmael Ismail earlier but that is not what Prophet Muhammad is saying.

Below Prophet Muhammad says this is the first of three times when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is thinking of visiting Prophet Ishmael Ismail but Prophet Abraham Ibrahim only sees Prophet Ishmael Ismail twice, once when Prophet Ishmael Ismail is a baby and once after Prophet Ishmael Ismail has been a married man that had married two times before he again meets Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and builds the Kaaba Kabah together with his father (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim). This is the same as the two meetings between Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail that are described in the Quran).

It is known that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not attend any of the weddings of Prophet Ishmael Ismail because none of Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s wives knew Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

This is also an indication that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had never been seen in Mecca Makkah by them in what was a community of a very small number of people.

Very few people lived in Mecca because no people lived their when (baby) Ishmael Ismail and his mother first arrived.

If Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had been there before he would be recognised by this very small community.

Some might ask, How would Prophet Ishmael Ismail know it was his father that visited if he had never known him since being a baby? The answer is that Ishmael’s Ismail’s mother would have told Prophet Ishmael Ismail about his father and how Allaah cared for them when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby and (as mentioned in the first hadith story from Prophet Muhammad that was discussed earlier) how an Angel said to the mother of Prophet Ishmael Ismail “Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allaah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allaah never neglects His people.”

Therefore Prophet Ishmael Ismail knew his father would come one day and that is how Prophet Ishmael Ismail knew that the visitor whom he had never seen was his father. Prophet Ishmael Ismail was expecting that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim would come one day to fulfill Allaah’s promise that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail would build the house for the worship of Allaah. 

If Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did visit before why has Prophet Muhammad not mentioned the sacrifice when he has mentioned everything else that we know of Prophet Ishmael Ismail? 

In the hadith story below, an idea occurred to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim ….. to go to those he left (in Mecca Makkah) means an idea occurred ….. to go to Prophet Ishmael Ismail his mother Hagar Hajar that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had left in Mecca Makkah.

This “idea occurred to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim” shows that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim decided to go on his own initiative to Mecca Makkah and not because he had met Prophet Ishmael Ismail earlier to plan with Prophet Ishmael Ismail some test of his wives.

In the hadith story below Prophet Abraham Ibrahim shall meet Prophet Ishmael Ismail for the first time since Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby, but Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not the boy described in Quran 37:102.

Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).

Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not a boy “old enough to work”.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail is a man who has married two times before Prophet Abraham Ibrahim meets Prophet Ishmael Ismail after the time when Prophet Ishmael Ismail was a baby.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail is already a working married man providing food for his wife).

(The hadith story 2 continues. The story hadith 2 continues).

Then an idea occurred to Abraham Ibrahim which he disclosed to his wife (Sarah), 'I want to call on my dependents I left (at Mecca Makkah).'

When he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) went there, he greeted (Prophet Ishmael's Ismail’s wife) and said, “Where is Ishmael Ismail?”

She replied, “He (Prophet Ishmael Ismail) has gone out hunting.”

Abraham (Ibrahim) said (to her), “When he (Prophet Ishmael Ismail) comes, tell him to change the threshold of his gate.”

When he came, she told him the same whereupon Ishmael Ismail said to her, “You are the threshold, so go to your family (you are divorced).”

Again Abraham Ibrahim thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left (at Mecca Makkah), and he told his wife (Sarah) of his intentions.

Abraham Ibrahim came to Ishmael's Ismail’s house and asked. "Where is Ishmael Ismail?"

Ishmael's Ismail’s wife replied, "He has gone out hunting," and added, "Will you stay (for some time) and have something to eat and drink?”

Abraham Ibrahim asked, “What is your food and what is your drink?”

She replied, “Our food is meat and our drink is water.”

He said, “O Allaah, Bless their meals and their drink."

Abu Al-Qa-sim (Prophet Muhammad) said, "Because of Abraham's Ibrahim’s invocation there are blessings (in Mecca Makkah)."

(Comments before continuing the hadith 2:

Prophet Muhammad shows that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim only meets Prophet Ishmael Ismail after Prophet Ishmael Ismail has married a second time.

Prophet Ishmael Ismail has gained in age and passed the time of the sacrifice in Quran 37:102 “And, when he (his son) was old enough to work with him…….) (that is the time Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son).”

How could Prophet Muhammad in a second hadith story describe the life of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s marriages and mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s fame for arrows and building of the Kaaba Kabah and not mention the sacrifice of Prophet Ishmael Ismail (just as the Quran does not mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s name anywhere in Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice) unless in fact Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that was to be sacrificed?).

(The hadith story 2 continues. The story hadith 2 continues).

Once more Abraham Ibrahim thought of visiting his family he had left (at Mecca Makkah), so he told his wife (Sarah) of his decision.

He went and found Ishmael Ismail behind the Zam-zam well, mending his arrows.

He said, "O Ishmael Ismail, Your Lord (Allaah) has ordered me to build a house for Him."

Ishmael Ismail said, "Obey (the order of) your Lord (Allaah)."

Abraham Ibrahim said, " Allaah has also ordered me that you should help me therein."

Ishmael Ismail said, "Then I shall do."

So, both of them rose and Abraham Ibrahim started building (the Kaaba Kabah) while Ishmael Ismail went on handing him the stones and both of them were saying, "O our Lord (Allaah), Accept (this service) from us, Truly, You are the All-Hearing (and) the All-Knowing." (Quran 2:127). When the building became high and the old man (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) could no longer lift the stones (to such a high position), he stood over the stone of Al-Maqam and Ishmael Ismail carried on handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, “O our Lord (Allaah), Accept (this service) from us, Truly You are All-Hearing (and) All-Knowing." (Quran 2:127). 

(End of the second hadith. End of the Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Hadith 584 Narrated by Ibn Abbas the cousin of Prophet Muhammad).  

Conclusion.

1. The Prophet Muhammad hadith story claimed to be through Ibn Abbas shows a second time that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was well past the time when he “was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim)” which is the time in Quran 37:102 when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was to sacrifice his son.

This is because Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not see Prophet Ishmael Ismail until Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already started working and was supporting a wife after his second marriage.

It was because Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already started working as a married man that Prophet Abraham Ibrahim had to return 3 times to Mecca Makkah until he was able to meet with Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

So Prophet Ishmael Ismail was well passed the age of being old enough to work because Prophet Ishmael Ismail was already working and twice married before he saw Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

2. This hadith gives the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail mentioning everything except the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the vision dream.

3. Quran Chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and names that son as Prophet Isaac Ishaq is supported by this hadith story as explained in Part B.

4. Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim names Prophet Isaac Ishaq not one time but four times (twice by his name and twice by his title “the good news” son) however Prophet Ishmael Ismail is never mentioned.

5. Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but there is no blessing from Allaah for Prophet Ishmael Ismail because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not in the story of the sacrifice.

6. Prophet Muhammad hadith story claimed to be through Ibn Abbas shows a second time that the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is not the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

7. The story of the building of the Kaaba Kabah is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail.

8. How could the Prophet Muhammad hadith claimed to be through Ibn Abbas describe the life of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s marriages and mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s fame for arrows and building of the Kaaba Kabah and not mention the sacrifice of Prophet Ishmael Ismail (just as the Quran does not mention Prophet Ishmael’s Ismail’s name anywhere in Quran chapter 37 which describes the sacrifice) unless in fact Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that was to be sacrificed?

9. No conclusion based only on hadith (stories from humans) is protected from error.

10. A conclusion must also be supported by the Quran to be absolutely sure that you are not among the misguided.

11. Look in the Quran to confirm that the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. See Part B below.

12. The Quran confirms that Prophet Isaac Ishaq is the son sacrificed in the vision dream of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 38:45 - 38:47 (note Quran 38:48 showing it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father meaning Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with his father during the time of the vision dream in Torah Genesis 22:2) and is proof that no one has the power to change the word of Allaah because the Quran and the Torah Taurat confirm each other as proof from Allaah that Allaah is real and the Quran is the truth. See Part B below.

13. Allaah gave Prophet Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice.

The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news delivered by an angel of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.

The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news delivered by an angel that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim. See Part B below.

Which son was to be sacrificed?

Part B.

Sacrifice of the good news son in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat.

In two famous vision dreams in the Quran Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the bowing of the Sun and the Moon and the eleven stars towards one star in Quran chapter 12 as proof the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning as proof humans do not have the power to change the word of Allaah in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat because if humans could change the word of Allaah it would be proof that Allaah did not exist.

Quran 12:6 Koran 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allaah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allaah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allaah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allaah) knows all things and is wise.” 

Note 1. The Quran and the Torah Taurat confirm each other as proof the Quran is truthful and as proof humans cannot change the word of Allaah.

Quran 38:45 Koran 38:45 And mention Our (Allaah's) servant Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel (who were), men with strength (of faith in Allaah) and vision (to understand the meaning of dreams). 

Note 1. The Quran and the Torah Taurat confirm each other as proof the Quran is truthful and as proof humans cannot change the word of Allaah.

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

1. The Good News son is the story of the sacrifice of Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

The “good news son” in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74, 15:53, 15:54, 15:55, 19:49, 29:27, 29:31, 37:101, 37:112, 37:113 and 51:28 is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is explained below. 

1a. The Good News son in Quran chapter 11. 

Allaah uses the name “good news” son in Quran chapter 11 to name Prophet Isaac Ishaq like “good news” son is used to name Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37.  

In Quran 11:69 the good news is mentioned first without the name of the son. 

In Quran 11:71 the good news with the name of the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq is mentioned. 

In Quran 11:69 Allaah uses good news without a name like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 uses good news without a name. 

In Quran 11:71 Allaah uses good news with the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 uses good news with the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

1b. The Good News son in Quran chapter 15 and 51.

The “good news” in Quran 37:101 where the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is not named in the story of the sacrifice is like the good news in Quran chapter 15 and 51 where the “good news” son is also not named because the “good news” son is always the title Allaah uses in the Quran as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim. 

Quran chapter 15 uses the “good news” son 4 times but is not named in verse 15:53, 15:54 and 15:55 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 51 uses the “good news” son 1 time but is not named in verse 51:28 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

1c. The Good News son in Quran chapter 11, 19 and 29. 

The “good news” son in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 where the son is named is the same as the “good news” son in Quran chapter 11, 19 and 29 where the “good news” son is also named because the “good news” son is always the title Allaah uses in the Quran as the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim. 

Quran chapter 11 uses the good news son 3 times and is named in verse 11:69, 11:71 and 11:74 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 19 is named in verse 19:49 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 29 uses the good news son 1 time and is named in verse 29:27, 29:31 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

1d. The Good News son in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51. 

In the story of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Allaah uses the title good news son as a remembrance of the miracle birth of Prophet Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his barren wife Sarah. 

It is a miracle birth because Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was 100 years old and his barren wife Sarah was 90 years old when Prophet Isaac Ishaq was born to Sarah. 

“The good news son” in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is found in these 6 chapters of the Quran. 

Quran chapter 11 in Quran 11:69 – 11:74 where the good news son is in verse 11:69, 11:71 and 11:74. 

Quran chapter 15 in Quran 15:51 – 15:60 where the good news son is in verse 15:53, 15:54 and 15:55. 

Quran chapter 19 in Quran 19:46 – 19:49 where the good news son is in verse 19:49. 

Quran chapter 29 in Quran 29:26 – 29:34 where the good news son is in verse 29:27 and 29:31.

Quran chapter 37 in Quran 37:98 – 37:113 where the good news son is in verse 37:101, 37:112 and 37:113. 

Quran chapter 51 in Quran 51:24 – 51:37 where the good news son is in verse 51:28. 

1e. The Good News son in Quran chapter 37.

The good news son in the Quran is the name given by Allaah to Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Allaah many times uses good news without mentioning the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the verses of the Quran and also uses good news with Prophet Isaac Ishaq named in the verses of the Quran to show that “good news” son is the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq whenever "good news" named or not named is used in the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.

Quran chapter 11 uses the good news son 3 times and is named in verse 11:69, 11:71 and 11:74 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 15 uses the good news son 4 times but is not named in verse 15:53, 15:54 and 15:55 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 19 is named in verse 19:49 as Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Quran chapter 29 uses the good news son 1 time and is named in verse 29:27 and 29:31 as Prophet Isaac (Ishaq). 

Quran chapter 51 uses the good news son 1 time but is not named in verse 51:28 is Prophet Isaac Ishaq.  

Allaah uses the “good news” son 9 times for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51 meaning the two uses of “the good news” son in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 both refer to Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

In the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim the title the “good news” son belongs to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74, 15:53, 15:54, 15:55, 19:49, 29:27, 29:31, 37:101, 37:112, 37:113 and 51:28 

2. The remembrance of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 38. 

After the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 Allaah gave the blessing of the remembrance of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the next chapter Quran chapter 38. 

Quran 38:45 Koran 38:45 And mention Our (Allaah’s) servant Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel (who were), men with strength (of faith in Allaah) and vision (to understand the meaning of dreams). 

Note 1. Prophet Isaac Ishaq is blessed with his father.  

Note 2. Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq are blessed with the vision dream. 

Quran 38:46 Koran 38:46 We (Allaah) chose them (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) for an exclusive (quality which is their) remembrance of the home (in the hereafter which is the final destination after death). 

Quran 38:47 Koran 38:47 And indeed they (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) to Us (Allaah) from the chosen ones are the best (of humans). 

Quran 38:48 Koran 38:48 And mention Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Elisha Al-Yasha and Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl Dhul-Kifl. And all are from the best (of humans). 

Note 1. Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father compared to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 38:45 - 38:47. 

Note 2. Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream compared to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 38:45 - 38:47. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 shows that Allaah did not give the blessing of the remembrance of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice to Prophet Ishmael Ismail. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not with his father at the time of the sacrifice. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 shows that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the sacrifice. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not with his father at the time of the sacrifice meaning Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the sacrifice. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 shows that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not with his father at the time of the sacrifice because many years earlier Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was tested by sending Hagar and Prophet Ishmael Ismail away into the desert meaning Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the sacrifice. 

2a. Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and Quran 38:48 confirm and explain “your only son” in Torah Genesis 22:2. 

Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and 38:48 in 2 above shows that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the vision dream of the sacrifice. 

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

Note 1. Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and Quran 38:48 confirm and explain the meaning of “your only son” in Torah Genesis 22:2. 

Note 2, Whenever a prophet leaves the earth Satan Shaitan whispers false stories which are opposite to what Allaah and his prophet taught.

When Prophet Jesus Isa died a natural death Satan Shaitan whispered "Jesus is Allaah."

When Prophet Muhammad died a natural death Satan Shaitan whispered "The Torah Taurat is false because humans changed the word of Allaah." 

Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) that confirms what you already have (in the Torah Taurat) ..." 

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

Quran 3:3 Koran 3:3 He (Allaah) revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad) the Book (the Quran) of truth confirming what came before it (in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil), and He (Allaah) revealed the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil. 

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

Quran 3:93 Koran 3:93 “… Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the Jews of Yathrib), "Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it (to me as evidence) if what you say is true." 

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

Quran 5:43 Koran 5:43 How is it that they (the Jews of Yathrib Arabia) come to you for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …”   

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 “... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other. 

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

Quran 5:68 Koran 5:68 “…“O People of the Scripture (the Jews), you have nothing (of guidance) until you observe the Torah Taurat …” 

Note 1. Allaah confirms the Torah Taurat is true because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change the word of Allaah. 

2b. The remembrance of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 12. 

Allaah confirms the blessing of the remembrance of the famous vision dream of the sacrifice belongs to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapter 12. 

Quran 12:6 Koran 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allaah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allaah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allaah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allaah) knows all things and is wise.”  

3. Quran 37:82 the people in the flood is like Quran 37:112 the people in the sacrifice. 

The verse structure and content about Prophet Noah Nuh and Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the same in Quran chapter 37. 

Quran 37:82 is about the people in the flood like Quran 37:112 is about the people in the sacrifice.

Quran 37:112 reveals the name of the good news son in the sacrifice like Quran 37:82 reveal the people who drowned in the flood. 

Quran 37:75 Noah prayed before the flood.           Quran 37:100 Abraham prayed before the sacrifice.

Quran 37:76 Allaah saved Noah.                           Quran 37:106 Abraham passed the test. 

Quran 37:77 and saved his off spring.                   Quran 37:107 and saved his son.

Quran 37:78 Remembrance of Noah.                    Quran 37:108 Remembrance of Abraham.  

Quran 37:79 Peace is on Noah in heaven.            Quran 37:109 Peace is on Abraham in heaven. 

Quran 37:80 Peace is the reward for good doers. Quran 37:110 Peace is the reward for good doers.

Quran 37:81 He is one of Our believing servants. Quran 37:111 He is one of Our believing servants.    

Quran 37:82 Reveal who drowned in the flood.     Quran 37:112 Reveal the name of the good news son in the sacrifice. 

Quran 37:112 Koran 37:112 (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) And We (Allaah) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of Isaac Ishaq (a second time after Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:102 - 37:107 and blessed Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:108 - 37:111. The good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51), a prophet of the righteous (requested in Quran 37:100 and given by Allaah as the good news son in Quran 37:101 and when in Quran 37:102 Prophet Isaac Ishaq is old enough to work with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim they both understand the vision in a dream that showed Prophet Isaac Ishaq will be sacrificed and is remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. The righteous good news son is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:112 and Allaah blesses both the father Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:113. Quran 11:69 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 11:74 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 29:31 which mentions good news is related to Quran 29:27 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 which mentions good news is related to Quran 37:112 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq because good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran).

Note 1. Allaah confirms the name of the “good news” son in the story of the sacrifice is Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as Allaah confirmed in Quran 37:82 the people who drowned in the flood.   

4. The story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Ishmael Ismail. 

The vision dream of the sacrifice of the son is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

The building of the Kaaba Kabah is the story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail. 

Quran 37:101 Koran 37:101  (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) So We (Allaah through His angels) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news of a forbearing (meaning patient, not complaining) son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51). 

Quran 37:102 Koran 37:102 Then when he (the “good news son” in Quran 37:101 Prophet Isaac Ishaq who is also unnamed in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and 51:28 because good news is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran) was old enough to work with him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim), he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, "O my son (Prophet Isaac Ishaq), I have seen in the dream that I am sacrificing you, (my son) so look (at my dream as remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45-38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching and as proof that no one can change the word of Allaah in the Books of Allaah. The proof that Allaah is real is that the word of Allaah is protected in all the Books of Allaah today. The proof that Allaah is not real is that the word of Allaah that is with the Jews today in their Torah Taurat and with the Christians today in their Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and with the Muslims today in their Quran are not protected. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by claiming that "humans changed Allaah's word" in the Books of Allaah that are with the Jews today or with the Christians today or with the Muslims today meaning that without understanding what they have said they unknowingly give the proof that Allaah does not exist by claiming or believing that Allaah's word is not protected in the Torah Taurat or in the Gospel Injil or in the Quran that are with all the humans today. So Look) what (do) you see (what do you think about my dream)?" He (Prophet Isaac Ishaq) said, "O my father, do as you are commanded, if Allaah wills you shall find me patience (not complaining, forbearing as in Quran 37:101).”  

Quran 37:112 Koran 37:112  (In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice. The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq. The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim) And We (Allaah) gave him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) the good news (in Quran 37:101) of Isaac Ishaq (the good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51), a prophet of the righteous (requested in Quran 37:100 and given by Allaah as the good news son in Quran 37:101 and when in Quran 37:102 Prophet Isaac Ishaq is old enough to work with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim they both understand the vision in a dream that showed Prophet Isaac Ishaq will be sacrificed and is remembered in Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 - 38:47 and showing in the next verse in Quran 38:48 that it was not Prophet Ishmael Ismail by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the power of vision and so Allaah decreed those revelations in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 to guide by Allaah’s word those who understand what Allaah is teaching. Those who understand are guided by the words of Allaah. Those who do not understand are misguided by the words of humans. The righteous good news son is named Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:112 and Allaah blesses both the father Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and the son Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 37:113. Quran 11:69 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 11:74 where good news is unnamed like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 and together with Quran 11:71 where the good news is named as Prophet Isaac Ishaq like in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 show that good news both when it is named or not named is the name for Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran. Quran 29:31 which mentions good news is related to Quran 29:27 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the same way as in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 which mentions good news is related to Quran 37:112 which mentions Prophet Isaac Ishaq because good news is always the name of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran). 

Quran 37:113 Koran 37:113 We (Allaah) blessed him (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but of their offspring (the generations of children who come after him) are some that do good (to their souls) and some that do wrong to themselves (to their souls). 

Quran 2:124 Koran 2:124 And when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was tested (for his faith) by his Lord (Allaah) with certain commands (in a vision dream to sacrifice his son in Quran 37:98 – 37:113 see Quran 6:60 and Quran 39:42 “Allaah is the one who takes your souls at night”, Quran 17:60 “the vision” of Prophet Muhammad meaning the dream, Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 the vision meaning dream of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and Quran 48:27 Prophet Muhammad’s vision meaning dream) and he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) fulfilled them (and Allaah stopped Prophet Abraham Ibrahim from sacrificing his son), He (Allaah) said, “I shall make you a (religious) leader of humankind.” (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, “and of my offspring” (meaning my children and my descendants, shall they also be religious leaders of humanity)?” He (Allaah) said “(Yes but) My (Allaah’s) covenant (agreement) does not include wrong-doers and those without faith (and in Quran 37:113 Allaah blessed Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but of their offspring are some that do good to their souls and some that do wrong to their souls. Allaah leaves no other blessing in the story of the sacrifice).”  

Note 1. The end of the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine in this section. 

Quran 2:124 is the end of the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq during the time of Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 38:48 when the two sons were separated and Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living in the home of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine. 

Note 2. The story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37, 51 and Quran 2:124. 

Note 3. The story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail is the building of the Kaaba Kabah in Quran 2:125. 

a. Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to send Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar into the desert and later in a vision dream to sacrifice his only son Isaac Ishaq who was the only son still living with him in Quran 37:98 – 37:113.

See Quran 37:113 comments in Quran chapter 37.

b. The story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq.

See Quran 37:113 comments in Quran chapter 37.

Quran 2:125 Koran 2:125 And when We (Allaah) made the House (“the House” is l-bayta, see Quran 3:97 “the House” is l-bayti, see Quran 5:97 “the Sacred House” is l-bayta l-harama for mankind which is the Kabah, see Quran 22:26 “the House” is l-bayti which is the House for mankind in Quran 22:25 called “and the sacred mosque” is wal-masjidi l-harami, Quran 22:29 and Quran 22:33 refers to the Kabah in Makkah as the “Ancient House”) a place of return (pilgrimage) for mankind and security (safety) and said “Take the place where Prophet Abraham Ibrahim stood as a place of prayer.” And We (Allaah) made a covenant (agreement) with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail saying, “Purify (clean) My (Allaah’s) House (“My House” is baytiya) for those who circumambulate (walk around it, see Quran 22:26 circumambulate “My House” is baytiya, see Quran 22:26 circumambulate “the Ancient House” is bil-bayti l-ʿatīqi) and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer, and those who bow down and those who prostrate (their forehead to the ground.” Allaah moved people in Arabia away from stone idol worship at the Kabah and taught them the religion of Allaah by giving the first Muslims a direction of prayer towards Zion for the first 13 years of Islam in Makkah and the first 17 months of Islam in Yathrib Madinah. The Jewish Hebrew Bible Psalms 84:6 – 84:8 explains that the reason the first Muslims faced towards Zion was to teach them that “Happy is the man whose strength of belief is in You Allaah; in whose heart are the highways that lead pilgrims to righteousness” and to show the Jews and Christians that the Allaah of Islam is also the Allaah of Judaism and the Allaah of Christianity as explained in Quran 2:115. Then in Quran 2:125 Allaah gave Islam a new direction of prayer facing the Kabah in Makkah for the purpose of teaching that the origin of pilgrimage and circumambulation around the Kabah is for the worship of Allaah and not for the worship of stone statues so that the people of Arabia might understand and turn to the worship of Allaah and abandon stone idol worship). 

Note 1. The start of the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in Bakkah Havilah today in Makkah Saudi Arabia in this section. 

Quran 2:125 is the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and describes the building of the Kabah in Makkah Arabia today in Saudi Arabia. 

5. Hadith stories about Prophet Ishmael Ismail. 

Hadith stories show that Prophet Muhammad did not teach that the son to be sacrificed was Prophet Ishmael Ismail meaning this belief came after the death of Prophet Muhammad. 

Whenever a prophet leaves the earth Satan Shaitan whispers false stories which are opposite to what Allaah and his prophet taught.

When Prophet Jesus Isa died a natural death Satan Shaitan whispered "Jesus is Allaah."

When Prophet Muhammad died a natural death Satan Shaitan whispered "The Torah Taurat is false because humans changed the word of Allaah." 

6. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat. 

All the prophets of Allaah ordered the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad.

Allaah in the Torah Taurat forbids adding or subtracting anything from the Torah Taurat and ordered the Hebrew people to follow the Torah Taurat forever.

This is why every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat.

If the Quran did not confirm the Torah Taurat it would be proof that Allaah does not exist because it would show that humans changed words in books of Allaah which had no protection. 

The proof that the Quran is truthful and that Allaah is real is that the Quran and Torah Taurat both confirm that the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the famous vision dream of the sacrifice is Prophet Isaac Ishaq.

Torah Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I (Allaah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat), neither shall you subtract from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your Allaah which I (Allaah) command you (the children of Israel, the Hebrews in the Torah Taurat).

Torah Deuteronomy 13:1 All this word which I (Allaah) command you, to do and to observe; you shall not add to it nor subtract from it. 

Torah Deuteronomy 29:28 The secret things belong to the LORD our Allaah; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever (for all time), so that we may do all the words of this law (Torah). 

6a. Prophet Muhammad confirms that the Torah Taurat is protected forever in the same way as Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet David Dawud and Prophet Moses Musa confirmed the Torah Taurat is protected forever. 

Quran 2:40 Koran 2:40 O Children of Israel (the Jews, the Hebrews), remember My (Allaah’s) favour which I (Allaah) put on you (in the Torah covenant in Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 4:13, Deuteronomy 28:69, Deuteronomy 4:31, Deuteronomy 7:9-7:12 commanding that no one shall add or subtract from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 13:1 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 12:32 in a Christian Bible and forever in Deuteronomy 5:10, Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 59:21 is the promise to the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 and Gospel of Matthew 5:17-5:20 and Quran 2:40)? Fulfill My covenant (in the Torah) and I (Allaah) will fulfill your covenant (in the Torah) and fear (no one but) Me (Allaah. A false prophet will believe the word of Allaah has changed in Deuteronomy 13:2-13:4 and 1 Kings 13:14-1 Kings 13:24. Paul is a false prophet because he teaches the word of Allaah in the Torah changed in Romans chapter 7 and teaches new words that cannot be found in the Torah. Muhammad is a true prophet because he confirms Allaah orders Jews to follow the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:40 and Jews be protected as “the people of the book.” Jews who follow their book and also believe the Quran are promised a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever). 

Quran 2:41 Koran 2:41 And believe in what I (Allaah) have revealed (in the Quran) confirming that which is with you (the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat as proof to the stone idol worshipers of Makkah in Quran 6:114, Quran 46:10 and Quran 10:94 that the Quran is not an invented story) ..."

Note 1. The covenant between Allaah and the children of Israel is forever in Torah Deuteronomy 4:31, Torah Deuteronomy 7:7-7:8, Torah Exodus 2:24, Torah Leviticus 26:44-26:45, Jewish Bible 2 King 13:23, Jewish Bible Hosea 3:4-3:5, Jewish Bible Zephaniah 3:12-3:13 and Jewish Bible Jeremiah 31:35-31:37. 

Note 2. Allaah confirms the Jewish Bible is protected because Allaah says he is fulfilling His covenant with the Children of Israel meaning the Children of Israel have a covenant with Allaah until the Day of Judgement meaning forever which is confirmed in the Jewish Bible and the Gospel Injil and in the Quran for every generation who obey the commandments in the Torah Taurat. 

Torah Deuteronomy 4:31 For the Lord your Allaah is a merciful Allaah; He (Allaah) shall not fail you nor (shall Allaah) destroy you (the children of Israel) nor (shall Allaah) forget the covenant (agreement) with your fathers which He (Allaah) swore to them (to keep).

Note 3. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39.

Quran 4:136 Koran 4:136 “... and whoever has no faith in … His (Allaah’s) Books … then he has strayed far away (from Allaah).

Quran 5:43 Koran 5:43 How is it that they (the Jews of Yathrib Arabia) come to you (Prophet Muhammad) for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” 

Quran 5:68 Koran 5:68 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia today in Medina, Saudi Arabia and to the Christians), “O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians), You have nothing (of guidance) until you observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and what has been revealed to you from your Lord …” 

Note 1. The Jews and Christians are told to follow their Books meaning the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil are protected.

Quran 7:170 Koran 7:170 (Quran 7:169 is the covenant agreement between Allaah and the Jewish people in each generation. Quran 7:170 is the reward for obeying the covenant agreement. Quran 7:171 is the pledge at Mount Sinai Horeb between Allaah and the Hebrew people to keep the covenant agreement forever in each generation. In Quran 7:169 the Jewish people have a covenant agreement with Allaah to follow the Torah Taurat forever which is confirmed in Torah Deuteronomy 4:31, Torah Deuteronomy 7:7 - 7:8, Torah Exodus 2:24, Torah Leviticus 26:44 - 26:45, Jewish Bible 2 King 13:23, Jewish Bible Hosea 3:4 - 3:5, Jewish Bible Zephaniah 3:12 - 3:13 and Jewish Bible Jeremiah 31:35 - 31:37. In Quran 7:170 the Jewish people who obey the Torah Taurat are rewarded in Torah Deuteronomy 4:31, Torah Deuteronomy 5:10, Psalm 19:12, Daniel 12:2, Quran 2:62, Quran 3:113 - 3:115, Quran 4:123 and Quran 5:69. In Quran 7:171 and the Jewish Talmud and Quran 2:63 Mount Sinai Horeb was held above the heads of the Hebrew people when they promised to follow the Torah Taurat forever meaning Allaah protects the Torah Taurat because Allaah has commanded the Torah Taurat be followed for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation of the children of Israel lived for 100 years in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Torah Deuteronomy 29:28 in a Jewish Bible or Torah Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible. For the Jewish people mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13 the Torah is protected by Allaah forever in Isaiah 59:21 like the promise that the Torah is protected forever by Allaah for the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 because the Torah Taurat is the covenant agreement between Allaah and the Jewish people forever in Quran 2:40 as proof that Allaah does not change His word and His promises and His covenant agreements. Every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat and here in Quran 7:170 it is revealed). And those (of the Jewish people) who hold fast to the Book (the Torah Taurat which every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to follow as shown in Quran 2:40 - 2:41 “And believe in what I Allaah have revealed in the Quran that confirms what you the Jewish people already have in the Torah Taurat” meaning believe the Quran is the truth because it confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat so that the stone idol worshippers in Makkah can also know that the Quran is the truth and Quran 3:93 “... Bring the Torah Taurat here and recite it to me as evidence if what you say is true” meaning the Torah Taurat is the truth and Quran 5:43 “How is it that they the Jewish people come to you Prophet Muhammad for judgment when they have the Torah Taurat in which Allaah has already revealed to them judgment …” meaning Allaah protects the Torah Taurat because Allaah orders the Jewish people to follow it and Quran 5:68 “ … You the Jewish people have nothing until you observe the Torah Taurat …” meaning Allaah protects the Torah Taurat because Allaah orders the Jewish people to observe it and Quran 5:48 “For each community of Jews, Christians and Muslims Allaah has appointed a divine law and a way to Allaah. If Allaah willed Allaah could have made you Jews and Christians and Muslims one community. But Allaah tests you Jews and Christians and Muslims by what Allaah has given you in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Quran to show who is best in behaviour. So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and Allaah shall then inform you in the Hereafter about the correctness of the religious matters in which you the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims argue among each other” meaning Allaah protects the Torah Taurat because Allaah orders the Jewish people to follow it until they return to Allaah on the Day of Judgement), and establish the prayer, indeed, We (Allaah) do not let go to waste the reward (in the hereafter) of the reformers (meaning the reward to the Jewish people in Quran 3:113 - 3:115 who do good deeds for Allaah that improve the life and behaviour of the people on the earth. Reformer has the same meaning in Quran 28:19 “... Prophet Moses Musa, Are you going to kill me like you killed the other person yesterday? Do you want nothing but to be a tyrant in the land by killing people? Do you not want to be a reformer who improves the life and behaviour of the people on the earth?” Jews like Quran 3:113 - 3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82 - 5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39). 

Quran 10:64 Koran 10:64 “…There is no change in the Words of Allaah …”

6b. Prophet Jesus Isa confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever. 

Gospel of Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I (Prophet Jesus) have come to abolish the law (the Torah Taurat) and the prophets (because another comforter shall come after me in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15); I have come not to abolish them (the laws of the Torah Taurat and the prophets) but to fulfill them (to fulfill the laws and the prophecies).  

Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever.

Gospel of Matthew 5:18 For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away (meaning until the end of the earth), not one iota, not one serif (not a dot of one letter), will by any means pass away from the Law (in the Torah) until everything is carried out (on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth). 

Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever. 

Gospel of Matthew 5:19 Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments (in the Torah), and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  

Note 1. The Torah Taurat is protected forever.

Gospel of Matthew 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Torah scholars and Pharisees (meaning unless you use religion to serve Allaah and to serve other humans instead of using the name of Allaah to gain attention for yourself or for your pride or for your arrogance), you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Note 1. There is a difference between the righteous Torah scholars (students of the Torah) and righteous Pharisees (orthodox Jews who followed the Torah and the oral law) and the Torah scholars and Pharisees who were arrogantly using the name of Allaah for their pride to gain attention for themselves.

Gospel of Matthew 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowd and to his disciples,

Gospel of Matthew 23:2 saying, "The Torah scholars and Pharisees took the seat of Moses;

Gospel of Matthew 23:3 therefore whatever they say to you, you should do and keep …” 

Note 1. Jesus says that the scripture that cannot be changed and must be followed forever is with the Pharisees meaning the Orthodox Jews and Jesus says “whatever they say to you, you should do and keep” meaning the Orthodox Jews have the correct word of Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture that cannot be changed and must be followed forever” meaning any opposite teaching is a false teaching.

6c. Allaah in the Book of Malachi which is the last Book in the Jewish Bible confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever by commanding it to be obeyed. 

Jewish Bible Malachi 3:22 You remember the law (Torah Taurat) of Moses Musa My (Allaah’s) servant which I (Allaah) commanded to him (Moses Musa) in Horab (Mount Sinai) for all Israel even (to keep the) statutes and ordinances.

6d. Prophet David Dawud confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever. 

Jewish Bible Zabur Psalm 19:8 The law of the LORD (Allaah in the Torah) is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD (Allaah) is trustworthy, giving wisdom (to) the simple (people).

Zabur Psalm 19:9 The guidelines of the LORD (Allaah) are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD (Allaah) is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

Zabur Psalm 19:10 The fear of the LORD (Allaah) is pure, enduring for ever; the judgements of the LORD (Allaah) are completely true and righteous;

Note 1. Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 The Word of your Lord (Allaah) is fulfilled in truth and justice. No one can change His (Allaah’s) Words. He (Allaah) hears and knows (all things).

Zabur Psalm 19:11 More to be desired are they (the commandments of Allaah in the Torah law) than gold, yes (they are) much finer than gold and also sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

Zabur Psalm 19:12 Moreover by them (the Torah law) is Your (Allaah’s) servant warned (to fear Allaah and avoid evil) and in keeping them (the commandments of Allaah in the Torah law) there is great reward (of Paradise in the hereafter and love from Allaah).

Zabur Psalm 111:7 The works of His (Allaah’s) hands are truth and justice; all His (Allaah’s) commandments are sure. 

Zabur Psalm 111:8 They are established forever and ever (for all time), they are done in truth and uprightness. 

Zabur Psalm 111:9 He (Allaah) has sent redemption (salvation from sin) to His people (the children of Israel); He has commanded His covenant for ever (for all time); Holy and awesome is His (Allaah’s) name. 

6e. Prophet Moses Musa confirms the Torah Taurat is protected forever. 

Allaah promises to protect the Torah for every Jewish generation by commanding the Jewish people to keep following the Torah Taurat for 100,000 years in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10. 

The Third commandment of Allaah says to the children of Israel that those that love Allaah shall keep these commandments to the thousandth generation. 

If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years. 

Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (Allaah) and keep My (Allaah’s) commandments. 

Note 1. The order to follow the Torah for 100,000 years means Allaah is protecting the Torah Taurat forever. 

6f. In Quran 5:48 Allaah wants the Jews to follow the Torah Taurat and the Christians to follow the Gospel Injil and the Muslims to follow the Quran.

Allaah will judge Jews living today by the Torah Taurat. 

Allaah will judge Christians living today by the Gospel Injil which confirms the Torah Taurat. 

Allaah will judge Muslims by the Quran which confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the Gospel Injil.

a. Quran 5:48 "... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion) …” 

b. Quran 5:48 “... If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community …” 

c. Quran 5:48 “... But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour) …” 

d. Quran 5:48 “... So strive for all that is good …” 

e. Quran 5:48 “... To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.

Note 1. Jews like Quran 3:113-3:115 and Christians like Quran 5:82-5:85 who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran is confirmed in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39.

6g. Jews who keep the Torah Taurat are following the message delivered to them in the Quran.

The Quran confirms the message of every prophet after Prophet Moses Musa including Prophet Jesus Isa and Prophet Muhammad reminding the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat forever.

7. The blessing in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37. 

In the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

Allaah has left no other blessing. 

8. Conclusion A. 

a. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning the "good news" son to be sacrificed in the vision dream of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is Prophet Isaac Ishaq as proof Allaah is real and the Quran is truthful. 

b. If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it. 

If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it. 

On the Day of Judgement Allaah judges by the words in the protected Quran. 

On the Day of Judgement Allaah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories. 

The Quran is the protected word of Allaah including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by Allaah.

10. Abu Bakr explained where false hadith stories come from.

Abu Bakr who lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad shows that some hadith stories regarded as trustworthy and recited after the death of Prophet Muhammad were in fact untrustworthy hadith stories. 

Hadith story 0. 

It has been narrated that Aishah (the wife of Prophet Muhammad) said, my father (Abu Bakr) collected the hadīth (stories of the Messenger of Allaah), which was five hundred texts. 

He spent that night so sleeplessly and restlessly that I was sad for him. 

I therefore asked, ‘Are you moving restlessly due to an ailment or information that you received?’ 

In the morning, he asked me to fetch him the collection of hadīth that he had put with me. 

When I fetched them, he set fire to them. 

As I asked for the reason, he replied, ‘I anticipated that I would die while I still have this collection among which there might be reports of a man that I deemed trustworthy while he was the opposite; therefore, I would be the narrator of such false reports.’ 

(Recorded in 1. Al-Dhahbiy: Tadhkirat al-Huffādh 1:5, 

Recorded in 2. Al-Qāsim ibn Muhammad (died in 1029 AH): al-I`tisām bi-Habl-illāh al-Matīn 1:30, 

Recorded in 3. `Abd al-Ghaniy `Abd al-Khāliq: Hijjiyyat al-Sunnah 394).

If hadith you believed was true you later understood cannot be true you would not be able to sleep. 

Who is the man Abu Bakr deemed trustworthy while he was the opposite meaning untrustworthy? 

Abu Bakr does not name him. 

The trusted man was not related to the prophet. 

The trusted man is someone Prophet Muhammad trusted and therefore all Muslims trusted during the life of Prophet Muhammad. 

The trusted man was invited to eat in the house of Prophet Muhammad and therefore it was thought that this trusted man had direct knowledge about the sayings of the prophet. 

The trusted man did not recite hadith stories during the life of Prophet Muhammad. 

The trusted man made a living reciting hundreds of hadith stories after the death of Prophet Muhammad. 

The trusted man is someone who recited more than the five hundred hadith stories that Abu Bakr had collected after the death of Prophet Muhammad. 

Abu Bakr could not sleep because like Muslims today he understood that many hadith stories are opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran. 

Any hadith story that is opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran is a false hadith story. 

The hadith stories collected by Abu Bakr were from a man Abu Bakr considered trustworthy. 

When Abu Bakr understood that this trustworthy man was in fact untrustworthy Abu Bakr destroyed his 500 hadith story collection. 

The destruction of these 500 hadith stories show that these stories where not stories that Abu Bakr heard directly from the prophet. 

Abu Bakr says these stories came from a trusted man. 

These stories were collected after the death of Prophet Muhammad by Abu Bakr from a man who was trusted to have direct knowledge of the sayings of the prophet because that trusted man was invited to eat with the prophet. 

In the later part of the life of Abu Bakr he began to understand that these stories were untrustworthy because they were opposite of what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran. 

After the death of Prophet Muhammad the trustworthy man showed he was untrustworthy by inventing false hadith stories as a way to make a living. 

These are hadith stories which cannot be true because they teach something that is opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran. 

These hadith stories are false hadith stories because they contradict the stories of Allaah and Prophet Muhammad which are protected in the Quran.

11. Umar ibn Al-Khattab explained where false hadith stories come from.

Why did Umar ibn Al-Khattab who lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad collect all hadith story books in his time and burn them? 

The following hadith shows that Umar thought that hadith books were not the fairest and the straightest of Allaah’s most beloved books meaning some hadith was not fair and some hadith was not straight meaning hadith was interfering with the correct understanding of what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad say in the Quran as Muslims today also understand when they find false hadith stories which teach the opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran. 

Hadith story 1. 

It has been narrated on the authority of al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr that Umar, after he had received news confirming that people started to hold (or write) books, denied and disliked the matter saying, ‘O people: I have been informed that you have started to hold books. Allaah’s most beloved books must be the fairest and the straightest. 

Now, I order you all to bring me all the books that you hold so that I will decide about them.’

Thinking that `Umar wanted to correct and submit the books to a certain criterion, all people brought their books to him. Instead, he set them all to fire and said, ‘This is a false wish just like that of the Christians and the Jews.’ 

(Recorded in Abd al-Ghaniy `Abd al-Khāliq: Hijjiyyat al-Sunnah 395). 

Note 1. ‘This is a false wish just like that of the Christians and the Jews’ means ‘This (human writing) is a false wish (desire) just like that of the (human writing of the) Christians and the Jews.’ 

The following hadith (with my comments added in the brackets) explains why Umar thought that hadith books that existed in his time were not the fairest and the straightest of Allaah’s most beloved books meaning hadith was interfering with the correct understanding of what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad say in the Quran. 

Hadith story 2. 

According to Ibn Sa’d, in his al-Tabaqat al-Kubra, Umar said, ‘This (hadith) is a Mishna (meaning human writings) just like that of the Christians (for example the priests who invented the idea that Jesus Isa is Allaah and Jesus Isa will return to this earth in Christian writings that are not in the Gospel Injil) and the Jews (for example the rabbis who invented the idea of the anti messiah Armilus in Jewish writings known as the false messiah the Dajjal Dijjal which is not in the Torah Taurat).’ 

(Recorded in Ibn Sa`d: al-Tabaqāt al-Kubrā 1:140). 

See 1. When a prophet dies Satan Shaitan whispers stories that contradict the Books of Allaah. 

The description of the Dajjal Dijjal is Armilus. 

“… In Rome there is a splendid marble statue of a beautiful girl which god himself made in the beginning of the world. Through sexual intercourse of evil men, or even of Satan himself, with this statue, a terrible creature in human form was produced, whose dimensions as well as shape were equally monstrous.” … “Armilus is bald-headed, with one large and one small eye, deaf in the right ear and maimed in the right arm, while the left arm is two and one-half ells long.” 

Reference https://jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/1789-armilus

See 2. Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is not in the Quran.

Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is not in Tanakh Jewish scripture.

Anti Messiah (anti Christ) is in Christianity.

Armilus in Judaism is not an Anti Messiah (anti Christ) but represents Romulus the founder of Rome In the Roman story of Amulius.

In Judaism Armilus represents the defeat of Rome in the end of days and was misunderstood by Christians as an anti Messiah (anti Christ) however there is no anti Messiah (anti Christ) in Tanakh Jewish scripture or in the Quran.

Hadith stories about the Dajjal in Islam are not confirmed in the Quran meaning such hadith stories were written after the death of the prophet.

See 3. A better way to understand hadith stories.

https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/a-better-way-to-understand-hadith-stories

Hadith test. 

Are these hadith useful in religion? 

Yes. These hadith explain where false hadith came from. 

Hadith stories are false if they teach something that is opposte to the teachings of the stories of Allaah and Prophet Muhammad which are protected in the Quran. 

When a prophet leaves the earth Satan Shaitan whispers false hadith stories that hide, distort and corrupt the correct understanding in the human mind of the words of Allaah and his prophet which are recorded in the Books of Allaah. 

When Prophet Jesus Isa left the earth Satan Shaitan whispered “Jesus Isa is Allaah” which cannot be found in the Gospel Injil as proof that Allaah has protected the Injil of Isa the Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew. Luke and John which is with the Christians today in the same way as Allaah protects the Quran which is with the Muslims today.

Hadith information.

Hadith 0. Aishah (Aishah bint Abu Bakr, born 8 BH 614 CE, died 57 AH 678 CE) wife of Prophet Muhammad. 

Hadith 1. Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr. 

Aishah (Aishah bint Abu Bakr, born 8 BH 614 CE, died 57 AH 678 CE) taught her nephew Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr (born 38 AH 662 CE, died 108 AH 730 CE). 

Many Hadith are quoted through Qasim.

Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr was one of the seven most famous jurists in Madinah and was considered as the most knowledgeable among them. 

He was highly influential in disseminating early traditions of hadith, fiqh (jurisprudence) and tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur'an. 

Hadith explaining why hadith books were destroyed by Umar ibn Al-Khattab were narrated by Aishah to her nephew Al-Qāsim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr. 

Hadith 2. Ibn Sa`d (Abu Abd Allaah Muḥammad ibn Sa‘d ibn Mani‘ al-Baṣri al-Hashimi katib al-Waqidi, born 168 AH 784 CE, died 230 AH 845 CE) was trained by teachers such as Al-Waqidi who was a biographer writing about Prophet Muhammad and an early historian who wrote some of the earliest and most detailed history books on Islam. 

Ibn Sa’d wrote the Book of the Major Classes (Kitab Tabaqat Al-Kubra) about the life of Prophet Muhammad, his Companions and Helpers, and those who fought at the Battle of Badr and about the following generation called the Followers who received their traditions from the Companions.

12. Conclusion B.

When a dishonest story teller makes a living by telling stories for his meals he will need to invent stories because no one is interested to hear the same story twice.  

a. When Abu Bakr in 10 above who lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad wrote down hadith stories that were recited to him after the death of Prophet Muhammad by a man who visited him during meal time he began to understand that some of these stories contradicted what Allaah teaches in the Quran and one night he could not sleep because he understood that it was impossible for him to trust stories which came from a man who recited stories contradicting the Quran and therefore he destroyed his collection of 500 hadith stories so that Allaah in the hereafter will not blame him for passing on false hadith stories.

b. When Umar ibn Al-Khattab in 11 above who lived in the time of Prophet Muhammad heard that after the death of Prophet Muhammad people were writing hadith stories he ordered everyone who had written books or had a book of hadith to give it to him and he destroyed all those books in a fire because like Muslims today he found that many of these stories contradicted what Allaah teaches in the Quran meaning they were false hadith stories and he did that so that Allaah in the hereafter will not blame him for allowing the passing on of false hadith stories during his period of leadership of the Muslim community. 

Quran 17:88 Koran 17:88 Say (Prophet Muhammad), "If humans and jinn (such as Satan Shaitan) came together to help each other to produce something like the Quran, they could not do it." 

Note 1. In the hereafter Satan Shaitan might boast he obeyed Quran 17:88 by whispering hundreds of false hadith stories which teach the opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran. 

Note 2. The only people blessed by Allaah in Quran chapter 37 in the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice is Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq both separately and together.

Note 3. The father and son blessed with the vision dream in Quran chapter 38 which is the chapter after the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 are Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran 38:45-38:47.

Allaah blesses Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the vision dream in the next verse Quran 38:48 to show that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream of the sacrifice and to show that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living in the house of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the vision dream confirming that the only son living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the vision dream was Prophet Isaac Ishaq meaning the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat as proof no one can change the word of Allaah which is the proof Allaah is real.

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

Note 4. Any hadith teaching the opposite to what Allaah says in the Quran is a false hadith meaning it was invented by people who made a living inventing stories after the death of the prophet or repeated by people who were deceived to believe false stories which contradict the Quran. 

After a prophet dies Satan whispers stories that are opposite to the teachings of Allaah. 

In Christianity Satan whispered “Jesus is Allaah” so that anyone who believes it will be blind to the fact that Jesus prays to Allaah in all four Gospels. 

The same happens to people who believe false hadith stories in Islam. They become blind to what Allaah says in the Quran in the same way some Christians who believe false stories about Jesus become blind to the fact that Jesus prays to Allaah in the Gospel.

c. What does the Quran say about information that contradicts Allaah in the Quran? 

Quran 77:50 Koran 77:50 In what statement (words, news, reports, information, message, hadith), after it (the verses of Allaah in the Quran), shall they (the humans and the jinn) believe?  

Note 1. Quran 7:185, Quran 25:29, Quran 25:30, Quran 31:6, Quran 39:23, Quran 45:6 and Quran 77:50 asks when you have the word of Allaah in the Quran what other report would you believe? 

Do not twist inside your mind the meaning of the words of Allaah in the Quran to agree with hadith stories. 

If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it and learn from it. 

If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it and also learn from it. 

On the Day of Judgement Allaah judges by the words in the protected Quran. 

On the Day of Judgement Allaah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories. 

The Quran is the protected word of Allaah including the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad which are described and protected by Allaah. 

d. When Allaah tells Prophet Muhammad what happened after his death what will Prophet Muhammad say to Allaah on the Day of Judgement? 

Quran 25:30 Koran 25:30 And (on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) the messenger (Prophet Muhammad) said, “My Lord (Allaah) my people have abandoned (deserted) this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).” 

Note 1. On the Day of Resurrection and Judgement Prophet Muhammad will say “My Lord my people have abandoned this Quran (to follow false messages, false words, false news, false reports, false information, false statements, false hadith).”

e. Misguidance.

When people are taught how to twist the words of Allaah to agree with hadith stories which teach the opposite to what Allaah teaches in the Quran instead of teaching people to ask the question "does this hadith story agree with the teachings of Allaah in the Quran" the result can be people who follow the mistakes of other people instead of people who are led by the teachings of Allaah in the Quran.

In Christianity some people follow the story that Jesus is Allaah which is not in the four Gospels however because they believe something from outside the Gospel they twist every verse in the Gospel to show that Jesus is Allaah even when Jesus prays to Allaah in all the four Gospel Injil and even when Allaah says in the Gospel that both Jesus and the angels do not know "the hour" because only Allaah knows

In Islam some people follow hadith stories which teach the opposite to what Allaah and Prophet Muhammad teach in the Quran as shown in the reference below and like some Christians they also twist every verse of Allaah in the Quran to agree with some thing that came from outside the Quran.

In this way some Christians and some Muslims have beliefs which contradict the teachings of Allaah in the  Gospel and in the Quran.

f. The danger of believing false stories.

People who believe false stories invented by other humans after the death of a prophet can be made to believe other false stories invented by humans as seen in some Christian cults and some Muslim cults who followed stories supporting their killing of people and their killing of themselves.

g. Education.

Teaching people to ask "is this story contradicting the teachings in the books of Allaah" will help protect people from other people who are following false stories instead of following the stories in the books of Allaah.

The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.

A. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.

See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.

B. Every prophet of Allaah is “the Word of Allaah made flesh” meaning the word of Allaah comes out of the mouth of every prophet of Allaah in Deuteronomy 18:18.

See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.

C. How did Allaah save Jesus. 

See 1. Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.

See 2. Quran 29:57 comments in Quran chapter 29.

D. The second coming of Jesus and every other human is on the Day of Resurrection.

See Quran 79:7 comments in Quran chapter 79.

E. Examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allaah in the Quran.

See Quran 25:30 comments in Quran chapter 25.

F. Allaah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allaah is real.

G. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.

See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.

Part C.

The promise made by Prophet Ishmael Ismail in Quran 19:54.

Quran 19:54 Koran 19:54 And mention in the Book (in the Quran, the story of) Prophet Ishmael Ismail. He was true to his promise (which he made in a covenant agreement with his father and with Allaah in Quran 2:125 to purify the House of Allaah and this service for Allaah in Quran 2:127 is accepted by Allaah here in Quran 19:54) and he was a messenger (of Allaah to his people, the Ishmaelites) and a prophet (of Allaah who guided his people, the Bani Ismail).

See 1. Which son was to be sacrificed? 

Isaac or Ishmael? Ishaq or Ismail? Prophet Ishaq or Prophet Ismail?

https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/which-son-was-to-be-sacrificed 

See 2. Prophet Ibrahim son sacrifice in Taurat.

https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/prophet-ibrahim-son-sacrifice-in-taurat

See 3. Prophet Muhammad hadith about Prophet Ismail.

In two hadith stories everything known about Prophet Ismail is revealed except the sacrifice meaning Prophet Ismail was not the son to be sacrificed and this is confirmed in Quran chapter 37 where Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the story of the sacrifice as proof Allaah is real meaning the Quran confirms that the Torah Taurat is correct because both books are the proof that Allaah is real.

https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/prophet-muhammad-hadith-about-prophet-ismail

1. The promise made by Prophet Ismail was to obey the covenant agreement with Allaah in Quran 2:125 "...  And We (Allaah) made a covenant (agreement) with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail saying, “Purify (clean) My (Allaah’s) House (the Kabah in Makkah) for those who circumambulate (walk around it) and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer, and those who bow down and those who prostrate." 

This covenant agreement with Allaah is confirmed in Quran 2:127 And when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim with Prophet Ishmael Ismail was raising the foundations of the House (the Kaaba in Mecca Arabia today the Kabah in Makkah Saudi Arabia which is mentioned in the covenant with Allaah in Quran 2:125) saying, "Our Lord (Allaah), accept from us (this service to You Allaah). You (Allaah) are the all hearing and the all knowing.”.

2. Prophet Ishmael Ismail was like Prophet Muhammad.

2A. Ishmael Ismail was made a prophet and a messenger to his people in Quran 19:54 which fulfilled the request made by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 2:129.

Quran 2:128 Koran 2:128 “Our Lord (Allaah), make us (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim with Prophet Ishmael Ismail) both submissive to You (Allaah, Muslim means submit) and from our offspring a community who are submissive to You (Allaah, Muslim means submit). And show us our ways of worship and turn to us (in mercy). You (Allaah) are the forgiver and the Most Merciful.”

Quran 2:129 Koran 2:129 (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim said) “Our Lord (Allaah), raise up in them (our children) a messenger who shall recite to them Your (Allaah’s) verses and shall teach the book and the wisdom and purify (clean) them (of sin). You (Allaah) are the All-Mighty and the All-Wise.”

2B. Ishmael Ismail was a prophet like Muhammad would be a prophet.

2C. Ishmael Ismail was a messenger to his people like Muhammad would be a messenger to his people which fulfilled the request made by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 2:129.

.

Quran 2:129 Koran 2:129 (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim said) “Our Lord (Allaah), raise up in them (our children) a messenger who shall recite to them Your (Allaah’s) verses and shall teach the book and the wisdom and purify (clean) them (of sin). You (Allaah) are the All-Mighty and the All-Wise.”

Quran 2:151 Koran 2:151 We (Allaah) sent among you a messenger (Prophet Muhammad who is) from you (the people of Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia), who recites to you Our (Allaah’s) verses and purifies (cleans) you (of sin) and teaches you the Book (the Quran) and the wisdom and teaches you what you did not know.

Note 1. Quran 2:151 fulfills the request in Quran 2:129.

Note 2. Quran 2:151 "Teaches you what you did not know" through Prophet Muhammad confirms Prophet Muhammad is the messenger in what (knowledge of Allaah) they (the humans) did not know in Quran 96:4 - 96:5.  

Quran 13:30 Koran 13:30 We (Allaah) have send you (Prophet Muhammad) to a nation (of people in Mecca Arabia today Makkah Saudi Arabia), before whom (other) nations have passed away …” 

Quran 62:2 Koran 62:2 It is He (Allaah) who has sent to the unlettered (people, Al-Ommiyyeena, Al-Ummiyyun, Ummi, Ummiyy, Ummy, Ummyyeen, to the people uneducated in the Scriptures, to the people with no formal education in the Scriptures), a messenger (Prophet Muhammad who is) from among them (the people of Mecca Arabia who are uneducated in the Scriptures), to recite to them His (Allaah’s) revelations and clean them (of their sins of worshipping stone statues as idols that represent god) and teach them the Book (the Quran) and wisdom. And although before (when they prayed to stone idols) they were in clear error –  

2D. Prophet Ishmael Ismail was truthful in Quran 19:54 like Prophet Muhammad would be truthful in Quran 29:48.

Quran 29:48 Koran 29:48 (In Quran 25:5 the stone idol worshippers in Mecca Arabia said Prophet Muhammad is writing the words of the Quran that another person is dictating to Prophet Muhammad to write down. Allaah replies in Quran 25:4 declaring as unjust and false the accusation that the Quran is invented and that other people are helping Prophet Muhammad with it by explaining in Quran 16:103 that the speech of the person a Christian blacksmith named Barbarous whom they suggest is helping Prophet Muhammad by dictating the words of the Quran speaks a foreign language whereas the Quran is in clear Arabic speech. To the statement in Quran 25:5 that Prophet Muhammad can read and write said by the people in Makkah who in Quran 10:16 had lived with Prophet Muhammad all their life Allaah replies not by saying that Prophet Muhammad cannot read and write but by saying) And you (Prophet Muhammad) did not recite any book (to the people) before this (Quran was revealed to you) nor did you write it (any book) with your hand (before this Quran was revealed to you) otherwise the doubters might have had reason to doubt (your truthfulness about the Quran because they would have suspected you were reciting and writing the Quran for them like you had recited and written books for them before you became a prophet if you had been a reciter of books and a writer of books before you became a prophet. The people of Makkah 1400 years ago were known as the Ummi Unlettered people meaning the people who were uneducated in the Scriptures and they wrote contracts, agreements, announcements and poetry on pieces of paper, leaf and bone which they put on the wall of the Kabah however they did not write books. Buyers, sellers and traders in Makkah used the Arabic alphabet to represent numbers to make calculations because numbers as we know them today did not exist 1400 years ago in the Arabic language. Quran 29:48 is not saying Prophet Muhammad could not read and write but only that he did not recite or write books before he was a prophet like other unlettered Ummi people in Makkah who could read and write but also did not write books. The most well known people writing books near Makkah were the Lettered people meaning the people who were educated in the Scriptures and the books they wrote were the Scriptures. In Quran 2:78 an unlettered Ummi is a Jew who is uneducated in the Book of Allaah the Torah Taurat. In Quran 3:20 and Quran 3:75 the lettered people are the people of the Book who are educated in the book of Allaah and everyone who is not educated in the book of Allaah is called the unlettered Ummi. In Quran 7:157 and Quran 7:158 Prophet Muhammad is the unlettered Ummi meaning he was uneducated in the Book of Allaah before it was revealed to him. In Quran 62:2 the unlettered Ummi are the people who are uneducated in the Book of Allaah and from among themselves has come a messenger Prophet Muhammad who is also called the unlettered Ummi meaning he was uneducated in the Book of Allaah before it was revealed to him. In Quran 42:52 Allaah confirms that Prophet Muhammad did not know the book of Allaah meaning he was uneducated in the book of Allaah before it was revealed to him in the same way as the people of Makkah were uneducated in the book of Allaah meaning the prophet and his people were unlettered Ummi meaning uneducated in the Book of Allaah. Quran 29:48 does not say Prophet Muhammad cannot read and write on pieces of paper, leaf and bone but only says that before Muhammad was a prophet he did not recite or write books meaning why would you doubt the Quran is from Allaah when the Quran is a book recited and written by a man who had never before recited and written a book? If he had recited and written a book before the Quran was revealed to him then you might have had a reason to doubt Prophet Muhammad meaning why do you doubt the honesty of Prophet Muhammad when he has given you no reason that you should doubt him?). 

3. Who was to be sacrificed by Prophet Abraham Ibrahim?

Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was tested for his faith by Allaah with certain commands in a vision dream ordering the sacrifice of his "only son" Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 2:124. 

Quran 2:124 Koran 2:124 And when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim was tested (for his faith) by his Lord (Allaah) with certain commands (in a vision dream to sacrifice his son in Quran 37:98 – 37:113 see Quran 6:60 and Quran 39:42 “Allaah is the one who takes your souls at night”, Quran 17:60 “the vision” of Prophet Muhammad meaning the dream, Quran 12:6 and Quran 38:45 the vision meaning dream of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel and Quran 48:27 Prophet Muhammad’s vision meaning dream) and he (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) fulfilled them (and Allaah stopped Prophet Abraham Ibrahim from sacrificing his son), He (Allaah) said, “I shall make you a (religious) leader of humankind.” (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim) said, “and of my offspring” (meaning my children and my descendants, shall they also be religious leaders of humanity)?” He (Allaah) said “(Yes but) My (Allaah’s) covenant (agreement) does not include wrong-doers and those without faith (and in Quran 37:113 Allaah blessed Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq but of their offspring are some that do good to their souls and some that do wrong to their souls. Allaah leaves no other blessing in the story of the sacrifice).” 

a. Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to send Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar into the desert and later in a vision dream to sacrifice his only son Isaac Ishaq who was the only son still living with him in Quran 37:98 – 37:113.

See Quran 37:113 comments in Quran chapter 37.

b. The story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq.

See Quran 37:113 comments in Quran chapter 37.

Quran 38:45 - 38:48 shows that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was the only son living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the vision dream of the sacrifice and this is the reason Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father and with vision in Quran 38:48 like Prophet Isaac Ishaq is blessed with his father and with vision in Quran 38:45 - 38:47. 

The story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail starts in Quran 2:125 meaning the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37, 51 and Quran 2:124 whereas the story of the building of the Kabah is the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in Quran 2:125.

This understanding is confirmed in two hadith stories about Prophet Ishmael Ismail which make no mention of the sacrifice because the sacrifice is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq as proof that no one can change the word of Allaah in the Torah Taurat and in the Quran.

The proof that Allaah is real is that the same son was to be sacrificed in both the Torah Taurat and in the Quran.

Genesis 22:2 And He (Allaah) said: “Take your son, your only son (who still lives with you, reminding him that Allaah had earlier taken Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar away from him into Allaah’s care in the desert in Genesis chapter 21 meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living with Abraham Ibrahim in Genesis chapter 22 when Allaah is testing Abraham Ibrahim a second time to show if Abraham Ibrahim will give Allaah his second son who is the only son still living with him after Abraham Ibrahim gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21), whom you love (Allaah makes the test very hard by demanding his second son and reminding him that this is his only remaining son and reminding him that he already gave Allaah one son in Genesis chapter 21 and reminding him of his love for these sons), even (namely, that is) Isaac Ishaq and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I (Allaah) will tell you. (Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah the only son who is living with him after he already gave Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert in Genesis chapter 21. Will Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?).

Muslims in the first 350 years believed the Torah Taurat.

Stories claiming Muslims did not believe the Torah Taurat in the time of the prophet were invented after the death of Prophet Muhammad. 

See http://www.judaism-islam.com/islam-teaches-torah-is-corrupted-tahrif-but-what-does-that-mean/

The proof that Allaah was invented would be the Torah Taurat and the Quran naming different sons of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in the story of the sacrifice as proof that humans invented whatever they wanted in books that had no protection.

The proof that Allaah is real is that the Torah Taurat and the Quran both agree that the son to be sacrificed was Prophet Isaac Ishaq.

3a. Prophet Isaac Ishaq is blessed with his father and with vision. 

Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel all understood the vision of the well known dreams that are described in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat. 

Quran 38:45 Koran 38:45 And mention Our (Allaah’s) servant Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel (who were), men with strength (of faith in Allaah) and vision (to understand the meaning of dreams). 

Quran 38:46 Koran 38:46 We (Allaah) chose them (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) for an exclusive (quality which is their) remembrance of the home (in the hereafter which is the final destination after death) 

Quran 38:47 Koran 38:47 And indeed they (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel) to Us (Allaah) from the chosen ones are the best (of humans).

Quran 38:48 Koran 38:48 And mention Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Elisha Al-Yasha and Prophet Ezekiel Zulkifl Dhul-Kifl. And all are from the best (of humans). 

3b. Why is Prophet Ishmael Ismail not blessed with vision (the interpretation of dreams) in Quran 38:48 like Prophet Isaac Ishaq is blessed with vision (the interpretation of dreams) with his father in Quran 38:45 and Quran 12:6? 

Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not connected to the stories of the well known vision of dreams that are described in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat. 

Quran 12:6 Koran 12:6 – “And so your Lord (Allaah) shall choose you (Prophet Joseph Yusuf) and shall teach you the interpretation of stories (dreams) and shall perfect His (Allaah’s) favour on you and on the family of Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel as He (Allaah) perfected it on your fathers before you, (who were) Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Your Lord (Allaah) knows all things and is wise.” 

3c. Why is Prophet Ishmael Ismail not blessed with his father in Quran 38:48 like Prophet Isaac Ishaq is blessed with his father in Quran 38:45? 

Prophet Ishmael Ismail and Prophet Isaac Ishaq were not living together at the time of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim. 

3d. How does the Quran explain why Allaah told Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to sacrifice “his only son” Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat?

In the Quran Allaah shows that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was the only son living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim at the time of the vision dream of the sacrifice.

After the story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allaah shows in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 that Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim during the vision dream of the sacrifice when in Quran 38:45 Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq and Prophet Jacob Yaqub Israel  with vision which is the interpretation of the well known dreams that are described in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat and in Quran 38:48 Allaah blesses Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the vision (dream) as confirmation that Quran chapter 37 is the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of Prophet Isaac Ishaq. 

3e. The end of the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine in this section.

Quran 2:124 is the end of the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq during the time of Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 38:48 when the two sons were separated and Prophet Isaac Ishaq was “the only son” living in the home of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine.

The story of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is the story of Prophet Isaac Ishaq in Quran chapters 11, 15, 19, 29, 37, 51 and Quran 2:124.

3f. The start of the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail in Bakkah Havilah today in Makkah Saudi Arabia in this section. 

Quran 2:125 is the story of Prophet Ishmael Ismail and describes the building of the Kabah in Makkah Arabia today in Saudi Arabia.

3g, Prophet Muhammad hadith story about Prophet Ishmael Ismail. 

Prophet Ishmael Ismail had already passed the age at which he was ready to work which is the age when the son was to be sacrificed because before he again met Prophet Abraham Ibrahim he had already married twice and he was already working to support a second wife after divorcing his first wife. 

In two hadith stories Prophet Muhammad makes no mention of sacrifice because Prophet Ishmael Ismail is not the son to be sacrificed.

4. The story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Isaac Ishaq and the vision dream of the sacrifice.

In the first test Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to send Prophet Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar into the desert. 

In the second test Allaah ordered Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to sacrifice Prophet Isaac Ishaq who was the only son still living with him after Allaah had long ago taken away Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to Allaah's care in the desert.  

Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim reject Allaah by saying first you took Ishmael Ismail away from me and now you want to take my only son who is still living with me? No, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not say that. 

Would Prophet Abraham Ibrahim reject Allaah by saying you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq and now you want me to kill him? No, Prophet Abraham Ibrahim did not say that. 

Prophet Abraham Ibrahim passed the test and Allaah showed that Allaah always keeps a promise by stopping the sacrifice and returning Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim to produce the future generations as Allaah had promised. 

The only people who Allaah blesses in the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 are Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq both separately and together as the father and the son. 

See Quran chapter 37 comment in Quran chapter 37,

5. The story of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim, Prophet Ishmael and the building of the Kabah.

Quran 2:125 Koran 2:125 And when We (Allaah) made the House (“the House” is l-bayta, see Quran 3:97 “the House” is l-bayti, see Quran 5:97 “the Sacred House” is l-bayta l-harama for mankind which is the Kabah, see Quran 22:26 “the House” is l-bayti which is the House for mankind in Quran 22:25 called “and the sacred mosque” is wal-masjidi l-harami, Quran 22:29 and Quran 22:33 refers to the Kabah in Makkah as the “Ancient House”) a place of return (pilgrimage) for mankind and security (safety) and said “Take the place where Prophet Abraham Ibrahim stood as a place of prayer.” And We (Allaah) made a covenant (agreement) with Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Ishmael Ismail saying, “Purify (clean) My (Allaah’s) House (“My House” is baytiya) for those who circumambulate (walk around it, see Quran 22:26 circumambulate “My House” is baytiya, see Quran 22:26 circumambulate “the Ancient House” is bil-bayti l-ʿatīqi) and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer, and those who bow down and those who prostrate (their forehead to the ground.” Allaah moved people in Arabia away from stone idol worship at the Kabah and taught them the religion of Allaah by giving the first Muslims a direction of prayer towards Zion for the first 13 years of Islam in Makkah and the first 17 months of Islam in Yathrib Madinah. The Jewish Hebrew Bible Psalms 84:6 – 84:8 explains that the reason the first Muslims faced towards Zion was to teach them that “Happy is the man whose strength of belief is in You Allaah; in whose heart are the highways that lead pilgrims to righteousness” and to show the Jews and Christians that the Allaah of Islam is also the Allaah of Judaism and the Allaah of Christianity as explained in Quran 2:115. Then in Quran 2:125 Allaah gave Islam a new direction of prayer facing the Kabah in Makkah for the purpose of teaching that the origin of pilgrimage and circumambulation around the Kabah is for the worship of Allaah and not for the worship of stone statues so that the people of Arabia might understand and turn to the worship of Allaah and abandon stone idol worship).

Quran 2:126 Koran 2:126 And when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim said, "My Lord (Allaah), make this a city (“a city” is baladan, see Quran 2:125 which describes the origin of circumambulation around the Kabah for the worship of Allaah in Makkah. Quran 22:29 and Quran 22:33 refers to the Kabah in Makkah as the “Ancient House”) secure (safe) and provide fruits (rewards, benefits) for whoever of its people believed in Allaah and the Last Day (the Day of Resurrection)." He (Allaah) said, "(Yes I shall) and for those who disbelieved I will grant them enjoyment for a little while (on the Earth) and then (in the hereafter) I (Allaah) shall compel them to the punishment of the fire which is the destination for evil (evil-doers in the hereafter).”

Quran 2:127 Koran 2:127 And when Prophet Abraham Ibrahim with Prophet Ishmael Ismail was raising the foundations of the House (“the House” is l-bayti which is the same word used in Quran 22:26 that describes walking around the house which is associated with the Kaaba in Mecca Arabia today the Kabah in Makkah Saudi Arabia and is mentioned in the covenant with Allaah in Quran 2:125 and as the place for sacrificing animals in Quran 22:33, and Prophet Abraham Ibrahim prayed) saying, "Our Lord (Allaah), accept from us (this service to You Allaah). You (Allaah) are the all hearing and the all knowing.” 

Note 1. See comments in 2 above.

Quran 2:128 Koran 2:128 “Our Lord (Allaah), make us (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim with Prophet Ishmael Ismail) both submissive to You (Allaah, Muslim means submit) and from our offspring a community who are submissive to You (Allaah, Muslim means submit). And show us our ways of worship and turn to us (in mercy). You (Allaah) are the forgiver and the Most Merciful.”

Quran 2:129 Koran 2:129 (Prophet Abraham Ibrahim said) “Our Lord (Allaah), raise up in them (our children) a messenger who shall recite to them Your (Allaah’s) verses and shall teach the book and the wisdom and purify (clean) them (of sin). You (Allaah) are the All-Mighty and the All-Wise.”
