A Momentous Ransom & Sacrifice

The True Meaning of al-Adha Sacrifice

Today, many of our precious Muslim friends and families are celebrating Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice, which commemorates the act of sacrifice that Abraham was going to conduct in obedience to God’s command to Him to offer his “Only Son, whom He loved…” (Gen. 22:1-3) as a sacrifice to God on the alter…

This story is so powerful as it demonstrated the faith of Abraham and put it on display to all to see throughout the past centuries!

In Islamic tradition it is believed that the son of sacrifice was Ishmael, even though the Quran is silent on that (see screenshot of verse Q37:107 below)… Nevertheless, the celebration itself is a constant reminder of Abraham’s faith, but most importantly, God’s faithfulness.

The Quran, in a classic act, borrowed some details of the biblical account and made reference to it in Q37:100-108 without emphasizing the deeper meanings of such powerful story as laid out throughout the Bible (i.e. Gen. 15:1-6, 17:1-21, 21:1-6, 22:1-3) and ultimately in the sacrificial work of God in Christ (John 1:1, 14, 29, 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-5, 2 Cor. 5:17-21) to name a few.

The Islamic tradition of the sacrifice left many Islamic scholars perplexed as to the identity of the Don who was to be sacrificed (see link to Sam Shamoun article of this important topic) causing much confusion concerning the identity of the Son, whether it was Isaac or Ishmael, and hence depriving the reader of the Quran of the beauty of the story in the biblical account and how it ties perfectly to the Sacrifice of JESUS on the Cross… Only Isaac can be the true Son who represented such momentous sacrifice on the cross (see Shamoun’s article)…

Ironically, even the Quran acknowledged that the act of God to substitute a momentous sacrifice in place of a Isaac was mentioned in Q37:107.

Many of the early Islamic scholars in their commentary on Q37:107 admit that Isaac (Ishaq in Arabic) is the one who was part of the story (such as the renowned Islamic commentator Al-Tabari)…

The bottom line is this:

JESUS Christ, the lamb of God who takes away the Sin of the World, is the one was, who is, and who will always be, that momentous sacrifice…

Only believing in Christ will give us eternal life, righteousness, take away our sin, give us peace with God, and remove the wrath of God and His condemnation from us (Rom. 3:10-12, 5:1, 5:12, 6:23, 8:1).

So, my beloved Muslim friends and Family, as you celebrate this occasion, remember that it is not about meals or lambs, rather it is about a momentous sacrifice; The Lamb of God, the Lord JESUS Christ… Who loved you and gave Himself [life] for you…

Come to Jesus!

The Qur'an and Hadith were not silent.

The Quran, in a classic act, borrowed some details of the biblical account and made reference to it in Q37:100-108 without emphasizing the deeper meanings of such powerful story as laid out throughout the Bible (i.e. Gen. 15:1-6, 17:1-21, 21:1-6, 22:1-3) and ultimately in the sacrificial work of God in Christ (John 1:1, 14, 29, 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-5, 2 Cor. 5:17-21) to name a few.

Abraham had two sons. Your God rejected the first son because he was born from a slave. And he was sent out.
Same God accept Jacob's sons from slaves. Nowhere in the Old testament was this sacrifice mentioned as a pointer to human/God blood sacrifice! Even Abraham wasn't aware of this vicarious atonement.


Ironically, even the Quran acknowledged that the act of God to substitute a momentous sacrifice in place of a Isaac was mentioned in Q37:107.
Allah tested Abraham if he would be willing to sacrifice his son and he passed. The sacrifice was replaced by a ram. And Allah has no partners, no son,...

Many of the early Islamic scholars in their commentary on Q37:107 admit that Isaac (Ishaq in Arabic) is the one who was part of the story (such as the renowned Islamic commentator Al-Tabari)…
Yes, many scholars give that opinion according to what was related from Jewish/Christians reverts to Islam. What the Qur'an and hadith points to is that his first son was to be sacrificed. And the first seed of Abraham was Ishmael not Isaac!

The bottom line is this:

JESUS Christ, the lamb of God who takes away the Sin of the World, is the one was, who is, and who will always be, that momentous sacrifice…

Only believing in Christ will give us eternal life, righteousness, take away our sin, give us peace with God, and remove the wrath of God and His condemnation from us (Rom. 3:10-12, 5:1, 5:12, 6:23, 8:1).

So, my beloved Muslim friends and Family, as you celebrate this occasion, remember that it is not about meals or lambs, rather it is about a momentous sacrifice; The Lamb of God, the Lord JESUS Christ… Who loved you and gave Himself [life] for you…

Come to Jesus!

By Al-Fadi

Our own bottom line is this:
Allah is free of needing sons/partners/helpers to carry out any of His duties! He is one and only! He saves whoever He wills and He punishes whoever He so wills. God needs no lamb as son to take away the sins of the world. This is idolatry of the highest order!

Even in the Bible Jesus never mentioned this for once and all the verses you quoted were from Paul's Romans!

Even the animals we sacrificed , Allah does not need the meat or blood but He needs us to be pious and fear Him as we ought to!

Allah needs no human blood to save us. Allah created Jesus as His messenger just like Moses, Abraham, Noah and others.

Our believe in Jesus is summarized below:

Abraham had two sons. Your God rejected the first son because he was born from a slave. And he was sent out.
What did Muhammad say about such a matter?:

Amr bin Su'aib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allahﷺ said:
"Any man who fornicates with a free woman, or a slave woman, then the child born from Zina does not inherit, nor is it inherited from."
-• Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book of Inheritance, Hadith 2113


Allah tested Abraham if he would be willing to sacrifice his son and he passed. The sacrifice was replaced by a ram. And Allah has no partners, no son,...
Muhammad is Allah's partner in wisdom and in ownership of the earth:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5967
Narrated Mu`adh bin Jabal:
While I was riding behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and between me and him and between me and him there was only the back of the saddle, he said, "0 Mu`adh!" I replied, "Labbaik, 0 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and Sa`daik!" he said, "Do you know what is Allah's right upon his slave?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best" He said "Allah's right upon his slaves is that they should worship Him alone and not worship anything else besides Him." Then he proceeded for a while and then said, "O Mu`adh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):, Sa`daik!' He said, "Do you know what is the right of the slaves upon Allah if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, "The right of the slaves upon Allah is that He will not punish them (if they do that).


Sahih al-Bukhari 3167
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet (ﷺ) came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle

This applies to Muhammad and all those who follow the laws of Islam till the world ends.

Tell us about the 12 Children of Jacob. Jacob had two wives (Leah and Rachel) and two slave concubines (Bilhah and Zilpah).

Leah had four sons Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah (female).
Rachel gave Jacob her handmaid, Bilhah, (copying Sarah of Abraham), Bilhah gave birth to Dan and Naphtali
Leah then gave her handmaid Zilpah to Jacob in marriage so that Leah could raise more children through her. Zilpah gave birth to Gad and Asher.
Rachael too later had Joseph and Benjamin.
The children of Bilhah and Zilpah were never casted out nor treated like Ishmael despite the same trend. This is prejudice and injustice of the highest order! We always hear of the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel not 8 authentic sons of Israel and 4 outcast sons!

All land at any point in time belongs to Allah and His messenger. Noah would have said this to before Allah destroyed the disbelievers in the flood. Moses would have said this too before Pharaoh perished. All the Prophets are the most knowlegeable among the people of their time.
So there's nothing wrong in saying Allah and His Apostle knows best!

We all know Muhammad is the messenger of Allah so no partnership!
