Sherman|Robert Sherman]] ([[1983 in art|1983]]), depicting [[Abraham]] contemplating to murder his son [[Ismail]]. Insofar as restraining his son for the purpose of conducting an Islamic [[human sacrifice]]. Instances of [[child abuse]] can be seen in some of the personal example of [[Prophets of Islam|Islamic prophets]]. A fuller narrative of this incident is exposed in Surah al-Saffat, from [[ayat]] 99 through to 113.]]
In the Islamic tradition, some time after the birth of his son [[Ismail]], Ibrahim was commanded by [[Allah]] to offer up the latter as a sacrifice in the land of [[Moriah]]. He traveled three days until he came to the mount that the deity Allah showed him. Ibrahim commanded the servant to remain while he and Ismail proceeded alone to the mountain, with Ismail carrying the wood upon which he would be sacrificed. Along the way, Ismail repeatedly asked Ibrahim where the animal for the burnt offering was. Ibrahim then replied that the Allah would provide one. Having bound Ismail to [[murder]] him, Ibrahim was prevented by an [[angel]], and given on that spot a [[Domestic sheep|ram]] which he sacrificed instead.
