Youtube Description:
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.

Who is Shabir Ally?Shabir Ally is a Canadian Muslim preacher who serves as the president of the Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Ally is known for promoting a contextual interpretation of the Quranic verses, but seeks to find their justification in similar expressions within the Christian Bible. He has debated William Lane Craig, David Wood, Nabeel Qureshi, Michael Licona and John Dominic Crossan. He has also debated apologists James White and Jay Smith.
What is Sacrifice?Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals to a higher purpose, in particular divine beings, as an act of propitiation or worship. While sacrifice often implies the ritual killing of an animal, the term offering can be used for bloodless sacrifices of food or artifacts.
