Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 54-55Verses 56-60

      Here the immediate reference is to Ishmael who was the prophet, and the chosen sacrifice of God, who was in particular very truthful in his promises. His next peculiarity was that he used to bid his household to perform the prayer and to pay the alms-tax, or say it, the ``Tithe'' for the poor and needy. The verse (NO.55) ends in that he was agreeable to God, and Allah was always pleased with him.

      The stress is put upon the fulfilment of promises, and the training of family and near relatives.

      As a matter of fact, no one can become a prophet or a Messenger of God, without being truthful in his promises, and careful to observe it. On the other hand, the first stage of preaching a message or teaching a doctrine, is to begin with near relatives; and then the others. The verses end in that, Ishmael has always been agreeable to his Lord and God was pleased with him.

      According to Qurän and Islamic traditions, Abraham told his son Ishmael that he had an order through his dream to offer him as a sacrifice to God. In answer to his father, the son, said:ِ ``Do as God has ordered you to do; and if God speed, you shall find me patient in that.''

      So he voluntarily offered his life and accepted to be sacrificed and never wavered in his promise, but Allah prevented his father to sacrifice him, and so, Abraham redeemed him by the substitution of a lamb, as per order of his Lord; and hence the title of ``truthful in promise'', for the Chosen Sacrifice of God. (ISMÄELِZABIHULLAH).
