Since you said,quote:
It means that this is what I believe and I am seeking your opinion and the opinion of all members.
Please allow me to give you another opinion on this subject that might highlight some issues with this subject.
1= Regarding the descendants of Abraham
I believe it is irrelevant to argue/debate/... who has descended from Abraham.
Qoran clearly indicates to the believers( All believers regardless of gender race or family tree) that Abraham is the father of all the believers. He was the one who named the believers" Muslimeen".
Qoran has some examples for us about Noah and his son. ( Ya nooh innahu laisa min ahlik"!!!
And that all believers are brothers and sisters in the faith.
Abraham descendants are both believers and disbelievers.
Abraham is the father of the believers. He was the example and the precedent of true Islam.
2=Regarding sacrified son
Again irrelevant who Abraham tried to sacrifice as GOD did not order such an act. Some people try to claim Isaac or Ishmail and are proud of such act from Abraham!!!!
Ido not get where in the Qoran GOD ordered such an act?:
37:102 says:
When he grew enough to work with him, he said, "My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think?" He said, "O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, God willing, patient."
Abraham saw in a dream. GOD does not order anyone to commit murder of the innocent. That is why it is irrelevant which son,the lesson is in the story regardless of who it was from the siblings.
7:28
They commit a gross sin, then say, "We found our parents doing this, and God has commanded us to do it." Say, "God never advocates sin. Are you saying about God what you do not know?"
وَإِذا فَعَلوا فٰحِشَةً قالوا وَجَدنا عَلَيها ءاباءَنا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنا بِها قُل إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَأمُرُ بِالفَحشاءِ أَتَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ
On the contrary, GOD advocate justice :
16:90
God advocates justice, charity, and regarding the relatives. And He forbids evil, vice, and transgression. He enlightens you, that you may take heed.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأمُرُ بِالعَدلِ وَالإِحسٰنِ وَإيتائِ ذِى القُربىٰ وَيَنهىٰ عَنِ الفَحشاءِ وَالمُنكَرِ وَالبَغىِ يَعِظُكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ
In my opinion, the most important issue is to follow Abraham and be totally loyal and a true "Muslim" to GOD. In that case one would also be following the last prophet s example. He was told to Follow Millat Abraham. Dedication to GOD Alone and following GOD s commands.
Thank you brother.
GOD bless you.
Peace.
