{{Quote|{{Quran|11|69-73}}|“There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, ‘Peace!’ He answered, ‘Peace!’ and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf. But when he saw their hands went not towards the (meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: ‘Fear not: we have been sent against the people of Lut.’ And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed, but We gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him, of Jacob. She said, ‘Alas for me! shall I bear a child, seeing I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would indeed be a wonderful thing!’ They said, ‘Dost thou wonder at Allah’s decree? The grace of Allah and His blessings on you, O, ye people of the house! For He is indeed worthy of all praise, full of all glory!’”}} | {{Quote|{{Quran|11|69-73}}|“There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings.

Ishmael is Abraham's son, who God originally asks Abraham to sacrifice Ishmael to prove his devotion ({{Quran|37|100-108}}). Ishmael agrees but God swaps him with a ram (according to Islamic commentaries on this verse) before he completes it.<ref>See commentaries on [https://quranx.com/tafsirs/37.107 verse 37:107]</ref> | |||
