"God did NOT ask Abraham to sacrifice his son" | Mufti Abu Layth

[@timothyroy6234]

As a recent revert I’m continually amazed at all the instances where the Quran cleans up confusing, contradictory bible stories and makes so much more sense

[@lorenzogreeb5969]

And we all know the prophets dreams are true and correct this the correct aqeeda of Islam For example take a look at the story of Aisha ra and the prophet pbuh Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' "

[@Wassalaam92]

So 2 great prophets of Allah, who knew and recognised Allah more than anyone, failed to realise that "Allah is not so sadistic to command such a thing"? Rather, Ismail says "Do as you have been commanded".... Then in the very next verse, Allah says "when they submitted". What do Muslims submit to? The command of Allah. Also, ibrahim عليه السلام recognised that this was not a normal dream. This was revelation here.

[@Wassalaam92]

@Mirzə submitted to Allah. That is what both the prophets understood. Muslims only submit to Allah.

[@Wassalaam92]

@Mirzə the word used is "aslamaa" , which means they submitted. "Islam" means submission to the will of Allah. You dont need to think outside of the box. Allah says that ismail said: "Do as you have been commanded". Allah says ibrahim consulted his son about his dream, indicating that it wasn't a normal human dream, it was prophetic. Allah describes their action as submission. The apparent reading of these verses favour the idea that it was Allah's command. To prove otherwise is on you. You cant simply say, "Allah is not sadistic", because these great prophets know Allah more than anyone.

[@Wassalaam92]

@Mirzə not all dreams are revelation. A prophet of God will know when it is from Allah or not. A prophet of God will know whether it is a natural human dream or whether it is revelation. As for the word Aslamaa and Islam, they mean submission. In the context of the story, it is quite clear that Allah is saying they submitted to His command, especially as the verse prior says that Ismail said "Do as you have been commanded". I dont get your point about the police and shirk etc, totally irrelevant. I am talking about the act of submission in this story as described by Allah.

[@Wassalaam92]

@Mirzə How do i know that they knew it was from God? Didn't ismail clearly say: "Do as you have been COMMANDED"? Who else besides Allah commands prophets? One guy in the comments section has written that it was a satanic dream. Do you believe that? Secondly, regarding submission, i have not said anything about shirk. If you submit to your parents etc, that is not shirk. I dont see what this has to do with our discussion. All i have said was that the verse implies submission to Allah, as the verse immediately prior says "Do as you have been commanded". If the command is considered to be from Allah, then the submission is also for Allah. Thirdly, "do i believe God is sadistic". No. Now let me ask you, did ibrahim and ismail think that God is sadistic? Do you know Allah better or did they know Allah better? What did they think Allah has commanded them to do? Please provide answers, I've forgotten what the speaker in the video has said now, I'll listen again later

[@Wassalaam92]

@Mirzə so you're saying that the verse means "if God really wants you to do it, then do it". So, let me ask you again, what did these 2 prophets understand what is was what God wanted from them?

[@hsmaruf86]

It's an another logical bombshell from the Mufti. Absolutely makes no sense that Allah asked something like that. May Allah bless you Mufti ..

[@r.m.k.1974]

Allah didn't ordered Abraham prophet to kill his son because: 1.if he get's order then God is not good 2.If he does that ,Allah and Abraham is bad 3.If Abraham doesn't do ''he is bad'' for not listening God, bit how can God be God to order innocent, but if he does sacrifice then Abraham is evil. 4.He couldn't sacrifice son or animals for sins because you could literally sacrifice all animals and plants and you will still make sin. ALSO the mistakes sometimes immediatly manifest concenquences so we essencially pay OUR OWN SINS. THE ONLY LOGICAL ANSWER IS : HE HAD A VISION IN A DREAM wich is also mentioned in Qur'an. Dream can mean other meanings wich makes Allah wise. Why? Because if Allah never invented dream , caring reminder that innocent person shall not be killed would be almost as hard as low as it can get (forgatten). WHY DO WE DO EID EL ADHA? by sacrifising animal we remind our selfs that innocent people shall not pay sins of other people. By giving that meat the more as possible ,we also remind everyone else TROUGH THAT MEAT that INNOCENT PERSON WILL NOT PAY SINS OF OTHERS. yet christians accuse Jesus for crimes he never commited . regarding Jesus prophet: if he payed all of your sins then forgivness doesn't exist therefore if you get salvation or non salvation as confirmed then you must immediatly die- Why? Because if you pass all years exams of school and get diploma you don't go to school anymore. That school was a testing ground. Then you get to better place (job) but even job is testing ground but not as testing as school. But when you completly pass SCHOOL OF LIFE, this means you enter Jannah wich means you are never going to be forced to do anything for your survival. THAT'S WHY JESUS PROPHET CAN NOT PAY YOUR SINS. You pay your own sins you are still alive (to gain certificate of passing life test you die immediatly).

I came to the same thoughts about this because child sacrifice was rampant then and also is today.

[@aeriel69]

I grew up going to a Lutheran church. As a child, I was confused by a lot of things I learned in Sunday school and catechism. I hated the idea that God told Abraham to sacrifice his son regardless of the reason. Whenever I heard that story, being a boy, I always envisioned myself as Abraham’s son, feeling scared, and wondering why God would command his father to kill him AND why He would subject a child to such torment. I even had nightmares about it. Years later in catechism, I asked why an omniscient God could do that to a believer and his son. I would like to make a request (without reading the the description). I cannot read Arabic. Would it be possible to display or write the quoted Quran verses so that non-Arabic speakers/readers could follow along?

[@andrewfaniku]

Child sacrifice was common in the Canaanite culture during Abraham’s time en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice?wprov=sfti1 God was so appalled by this barbaric sacrifice to "him" that he had to dramatize his refusal of child sacrifice by teaching Abraham this important lesson. God tried to stop this act by giving us a conscience to know right from wrong. However, Several people continued to kill their children in the name of God and God had to dramatize his refusal of this barbaric act. I can't find a normal human equivalent. But I'll try with this analogy: imagine if my child wants me to smoke with him, and I tell him I don't want it, but he continues to blow second hand smoke on my face. Ultimately, I give him money to buy a big box of cigarettes for me. He buys it and then I ask him for a lighter, he brings it, and then I set the whole box on fire to show him I'll never smoke with him. Abraham couldn't deny God this sacrifice because it was clear to him the boy was a miracle child. If Sarah had been pregnant when she was in her 50s, he probably wouldn't have gone on with the sacrifice. It was clear to Abraham that God was asking back from him, something God had given him in the first place. Abraham was also confused because God told him this child would be the father of many nations. He knew God had a stake to protect this specific child. So he went on with the sacrifice with this two conflicting ideas in his mind. But one thing I'm sure of is this: Abraham didn't go home that night to brag to his wife of his great faith and sacrifice to God. See Genesis 12:10-13, Genesis 20:1-2. ) Here are the Lessons that Abraham learned: ◦ Yahweh requires a sacrifice ( Just like the pagan gods) ◦ Yahweh, unlike the Pagan god, is a loving God and doesn't accept human sacrifice. ◦ Yahweh himself provides the sacrifice.

God can never command unnecessary killing. It was a test. God wanted to see Abraham's love and commitment for him. He never ordered it directly.

Allah mentions it through a dream, and when all know from Quran and sunnah that the prophets dream never lies, the dream of prophet I’ll give you some examples. Remember˺ when Joseph said to his father, “O my dear father! Indeed I dreamt of eleven stars, and the sun, and the moon-I saw them prostrating to me! He replied, “O my dear son! Do not relate your vision to your brothers, or they will devise a plot against you. Surely Satan is a sworn enemy to humankind. Now if the dreams of the prophet are not true why yaqob AS worried for his son? And the story of Aisha ra were Allah showed her twice the prophets dreams Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.'

“To Allah’s will” is not present in the Arabic. The Arabic simply reads (word by word) “Then when both of them had submitted and he put him down on his forehead” I think verses 102 and 104 are slightly more problematic to this argument - in 102 The son says “Oh my father do what you are commanded” And then in 104 it says “And then We called out to him ‘Oh Ibrahim indeed you have fulfilled the dream’”. I mean it doesn’t completely destroy Mufti’s argument but it does feel like a more natural interpretation, that Allah approved of the boy’s wording of “what you are commanded” - even if that doesn’t seem like a logical or merciful request to those of us viewing this with 21st century eyes. Maybe in light of the cultural practices of that time (as explained in the beginning of the video), it could actually be the test that the majority of Muslims believe it to be 🤷🏻‍♀️

You forget to read couple of ayats down where his son says do as you commanded and the an aya after that where Allah says they both submitted. I have no problem being logical and driving a lesson that perhaps this ended the human sacrifice but I disagree with the notion that it was just a dream and he started acted on without knowing it’s coming from allah because the later ayahs are very clear.

Mufti if God knows everything and could change everything in the universe. He could have changed the dreams of Ibrahim, so he'd never dream of him sacrificing his son. God knew that Ibrahim and his son will experience that psychological crisis, and nevertheless he allowed that dream to happen. Thus you could say, that Allah (with his choice) sent Ibrahim the dream, which resulted in the story you mentioned. Therefore it's logical to say that Allah (indirectly) sent Ibrahim the dream and tested him

Your claim is that God must not have commanded him as He is not "sadistic". But why then did God wait till Abraham was just about to sacrifice his son to stop him? Why not right after the dream? Pls answer.

[@VerdantJedi]

You may not agree with me but the way I see it is that Abraham stopped himself from sacrificing his own son. His own moral conscience is telling him that it's wrong. That doesn't mean that God had nothing to do with it. In reality God acts through you. You are not separate from God, just like the rays are not separate from the Sun. The metaphorical and symbolic expression is described as God sending Gabriel to stop Abraham from sacrificing his son. It is "Mutashabihat" as referenced in verse 3:7. Muslims and mainstream theists always have this duality concept of God as an external force from somewhere, which was never the case at all. Ultimately you know yourself, that is how God is always able to know you. What you know and what you do is bound to God and everything in life and nature are intertwined to God.

Totally agree that the notion that Allah would command the sacrifice of Ibrahim's son is contrary to Allah's nature, words and actions. I want a better answer though that gives Ibhrahim a better reading. I expect there's a reading of this, where Ibrahim and his son don't think that Allah commanded sacrifice but something else. In verse 37.103 it might be worth looking at the cluster of meanings associated with the trilateral root word of verb that is translated as "laid him for sacrfice" or "threw him down". There are other meanings in the cluster work better i think and avoid having a view of Ibrahim which renders him incapable of determining one of Allah's most fundamental characteristic - his love/kindness.

[@SM-ly5tf]

Despite being a Muslim, I definitely agree with Abu Layth in this topic

[@fesi99]

so 'zibhin azeem' means sacrificing a ram. Totally makes sense. As much as i am a fan of mufti sahb, this is another one of those times when he's trying too hard to make Islam more "ACCEPTABLE" according to modern standards of the society, well mufti sahb good luck with that. For the sake of argument let's accept that logic of Mufti sahb that what kind of a God would want human sacrifice? well, i humbly ask what kind of a God would need sacrifice of a Ram? what kind of a God would ask people to pray and fast for his pleasure? what kind of a God would tell people that you'll burn in hell if you deviate from his way? what kind of a God would let people die from diseases? there could be a thousand counter narratives to this logic of yours. Mufti sahb arz ye hai k it was a trial for Sayyidena Ibrahim (a.s), of course God didn't want him to kill his son nor would it make God happy and nor would Ibrahim (a.s) not doing so would make God sad, God is Absolute, he is beyond being happy and sad, Sayyidena Ibrahim was not a just a random man, he was a Prophet and like many other Prophets he too had to go through trials. And lastly, Islam does not need the approval stamp of the "modern people" mufti sahb,It's doing pretty fine Alhumdulillah, And the fact that you couldn't come up with any justification about what "zibhin azeem" meant clearly shows how knowledgeable and well read you are on this topic.

[@aladindelic]

37:102 starts with فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ which is most important to understand what Ibrahim "saw in his dream (or vision)". A term ذِبْح can mean "take somebody from life" (kill it), but it can also mean "take somebody by moving" (take out of something, move away from something).

[@inhumanhyena]

All I wonder is how it's possible that God hasn't allowed for this dream, and it not ultimately come from S/He. I've considered that Ibrahīm may have misinterpreted the dream (or allowed his son to interpret it) and that there is a lesson jn the story for Ibrahīm and in the dhkr, for the believers. Have you considered these possibilities? And if so, what is your deduction?

The answer is simple. If God says if you kill one person then you kill whole humanity, why would Abraham be asked to kill his son, makes no sense.

If the dream/vision that Ibrahim saw was him killing his son, then he never fulfilled the dream as his son was still alive. But if he saw himself about to kill his son or in the process, then he would of fulfilled the dream.

[@ShahzadaKashif]

brother the words قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ indicate that the sacrifice was an order of Allah however that sacrifice was not of the goat but we see in the Qur'an it was the sacrifice ibraheem and Ismail made by dedicating their lives to Allah in submission at the Kaaba indicated by the words رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَا أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ It was this Submission to Allah that was the fulfiment of the dream. The Qur'an does not mention a goat coming in place which is in the Bible. Also the son is Ismail as Quran mentions birth of Isaac after the sacrifice incident, indicating it was the first born.

[@shahram6869]

That only indicates that Ibrahim a.s. thought he was commanded by God. There's no issue in that, for why would he sacrifice his son if he didn't think God wanted him to do it? The issue is whether God actually commanded him to do so, and there seems to be no evidence for that other than Isra'iliyyat.

Mufti, great explanation. Also, what do you think about Shaykh Imran Hosein's explanation on this? He said something similar, but he adds that, the sacrifice of Ismael (as) in the vision was symbolic. Symbolic for the event of him (Ismael) being sent to Arabia, symbolic for Banu Ismael's (arabs) destruction under Gog and Magog. And now that Abraham (as) is getting to know that the progeny of one of his sons would be destructed, he is going through a test. But then Allah also promises that he'll send Imams (leaders) from both, Ismael (as) and Issac (as). I might have failed to explain it correctly, but do hear out Shaukh Imran Hosein once.

UMM = PURE HEART not ILLITERATE The contextual verses are - 2.78, 3.20, 3.75, 62.2, 7.157, 7.158 Verse 3.75 gives an understanding of ILLITERATE / SIMPLE / EASILY TRUSTING / PURE HEART- [3.75]And from (the) People (of) the Book (is he) who, if you entrust him with a great amount of wealth he will return it to you. And from them (is he) who, if you entrust him with a single coin not he will return it to you except you keep constantly over him standing. That (is) because they said, "Not on us concerning I-UMIYINA any [way] (accountability)." And they say about Allah the lie while they know. >>> recollect here famous verse of Riba 2.275. They say vs. Allah says. It will be Allah's definition not theirs. Verse 3.20 gives an understanding ALL OTHERS ( PAGANS / ATHIEST / PURE HEART) but notice the 1st part of the verse (which defines which one is Messanger) - [3.20]Then if they argue with you, then say, "I have submit myself to Allah and (those) who follow me." And say to those who were given the Book, and WAL-UMIYINA, "Have you submitted yourselves?" Then if they submit then surely they are guided. But if they turn back then only on you (is) to [the] convey. And Allah (is) All-Seer of [His] slaves. Verse 2.78 goes for those who has FATHER'S RELIGIONS / CROOKED ONES - [2.78]And among them (are) UMMIYYUNA, (who) do not know the book except wishful thinking and not they (do anything) except guess. Now read 3.77-80 together with 3.75 - [3.77-80] (3.77)Indeed, those who exchange (the) Covenant (of) Allah and their oaths (for) a price little, those - no share for them in the Hereafter and not will Allah speak to them, and not look at them (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection and not purify them, and for them (is) a punishment painful. (3.78)And indeed, among them surely (is) a group - they distort their tongues in (reciting) the Book so that you may think it (is) from the Book and not it (is) from the Book. And they say, "It (is) from Allah." But not it (is) from Allah. And they say about Allah the lie while they know. (3.79) Not is for a human that Allah gives him the Book, and the wisdom, and the Prophethood, then he says to the people, "Be worshippers of me besides Allah, but (would say) "Be worshippers of the Lord because you have been teaching the Book and because you have been studying (it)." (3.80)And not he will order you that you take the Angels, and the Prophets (as) lords. Would he order you to [the] disbelief after [when] you (have become) those-who-submit/Muslims? Now read 62.2. Does Allah applied the word in good way or bad way for Messenger? The application of the word is qualified by later part of the verse - [6.22]He (is) the One Who sent among I-UMMIYNA a MESSENGER from themselves reciting to them His Verses, and purifying them and teaching them the Book and the wisdom although they were before surely in an error clear. * was he ILLITERATE or PURE HEART? * was he PAGAN OR FREE of his father's paganism? * was he CROOKED one OR FREE of any preconceptions. * was he DELIVERING what he might have learned FROM JEWS / CHRISTIAN'S OR QURAN? IT IS HIS TRANSFORMATION/ SEPARATION FROM STATE OF MUHAMMAD TO STATE OF MESSENGER. Verses 7.157-58 confirms my understanding- (7.157)Those who follow the MESSENGER, the PROPHET, L-UMIYA, whom they find him written with them in the Taurat and the Injeel. He commands them to the right and forbids them from the wrong, and he makes lawful for them the pure things and makes unlawful for them the impure things and he relieves from them their burden and the fetters which were upon them. So those who believe in him and honor him, and help him and follow the light which has been sent down with him. Those (are) [they] the successful ones." (7.158)Say, "O mankind! Indeed I am (the) Messenger (of) Allah to you all, the One for Whom (is the) dominion (of) the heavens and the earth. (There is) no god except Him, He gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His MESSENGER, the PROPHET, L-UMIYI the one who believes in Allah and His Words, and follow so that you may (be) guided."

HERE IS MY EXPLANATION: Allah didn't ordered Abraham prophet to kill his son because: 1.if he get's order then God is not good 2.If he does that ,Allah and Abraham is bad 3.If Abraham doesn't do ''he is bad'' for not listening God, bUt how can God be God to order TO KILL innocent, but if he does sacrifice then Abraham is evil. 4.He couldn't sacrifice son or animals for sins because you could literally sacrifice all animals and plants and you will still make sin. ALSO the mistakes sometimes immediatly manifest concenquences so we essencially pay OUR OWN SINS. THE ONLY LOGICAL ANSWER IS : HE HAD A VISION IN A DREAM wich is also mentioned in Qur'an. Dream can mean other meanings wich makes Allah wise. Why? Because if Allah never invented dream , caring reminder that innocent person shall not be killed would be almost as hard as low as it can get (forgatten). WHY DO WE DO EID EL ADHA? by sacrifising animal we remind our selfs that innocent people shall not pay sins of other people. By giving that meat the more as possible ,we also remind everyone else TROUGH THAT MEAT that INNOCENT PERSON WILL NOT PAY SINS OF OTHERS. yet christians accuse Jesus for crimes he never commited . regarding Jesus prophet: if he payed all of your sins then forgivness doesn't exist therefore if you get salvation or non salvation as confirmed then you must immediatly die- Why? Because if you pass all years exams of school and get diploma you don't go to school anymore. That school was a testing ground. Then you get to better place (job) but even job is testing ground but not as testing as school. But when you completly pass SCHOOL OF LIFE, this means you enter Jannah wich means you are never going to be forced to do anything for your survival. THAT'S WHY JESUS PROPHET CAN NOT PAY YOUR SINS. You pay your own sins you are still alive (to gain certificate of passing life test you die immediatly).
