One of the main trials of Abraham's life was to receive and obey the command of God to slaughter his beloved son, Ishmael. According to the narrative, Abraham kept having dreams that he was sacrificing his son. Abraham knew that this was a command from God. He told his son, as stated in the Quran,
Oh son, I keep dreaming that I am slaughtering you. he replied, Father, do what you are ordered to do.
