Abstract

ABRAHAM is the father of the Semitic religions, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam. According to the sacred books of these religions God commands ABRAHAM to offer his son as a SACRIFICE. However, the true identity of this son is a matter of debate, Jews and Christians refer to ISAAC while Muslims mention ISHMAEL. But the question is what is really important in this story? The true identity of the son or the faith of ABRAHAM and his loyalty to God's decree? If the story is told for drawing people's attention to ABRAHAM's faith and persuading them to fallow his way, why such an argument has emerged? In an attempt to answer this question present article firstly presents a comparative account of the story according to the Bible and Qur'an. Then, it explains the role of "Inheritance" as the key feature of this disputation. Finally by a historical survey of various interpretations we come to the conclusion that these traditions think of the son offered as a SACRIFICE as the true heir to ABRAHAM.
