Was Abraham Asked to Sacrifice Isaac or Ishmael? | Dr. Shabir Ally & Dr. Safiyyah Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally explore one of the most debated questions in the story of Abraham’s sacrifice: was the son Isaac or Ishmael? While many Muslims assume the Quran clearly identifies the son as Ishmael, Dr. Shabir explains that the Quran does not name him directly. Instead, scholars have drawn conclusions by comparing Quranic narratives, biblical accounts, and the logic of the story itself. They examine why some early Muslim commentators identified the son as Isaac, why the majority Muslim view later shifted toward Ishmael, and why the Quran may have left the question open while focusing on the deeper message of faith, sacrifice, obedience to God, and trust in divine wisdom.
