Total submission to God

SHAFAQNA – When (Ibrahim) together with him (Ismail) arrived at the position said: My son, I saw in my sleep that I must sacrifice you, what is your opinion? (Ismail) replied: My father, do whatever you have been commanded to do, with God’s wishes, you will find me to be patient. When both submitted (to the will of God), Ibrahim placed him (Ismail) faced down. We called out to him, o’ Ibrahim, you have already fulfilled the dream (and accomplished your duty). This is the way We reward good doers. This is indeed an obvious test [1].
