THE GOOD NEWS OF A BOY
(PROOF that Abraham offered ISAAC)
Sura 37:101 And
We gave Abraham
the "good news" of a boy ready to suffer and forbear (through the angel messengers
We sent to him).
Sura 37:102 Then, when the boy reached the age of serious work with him Abraham said, "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice."
Sura 37:112 And
We gave him
the "good news" of Isaac - a prophet - one of the righteous (through the angel messengers We sent to him).
Sura 37:113
We blessed Abraham and Isaac.
Sura 6:84 And
We gave Abraham Isaac and Jacob: all three
We guided aright.
Sura 38:45-46 And commemorate Our servants Abraham, Isaac (not Ishmael), and Jacob, possessors of Power and Vision. Verily did
We choose
them for a
special purpose - proclaiming the Message of the Hereafter.
They were in Our sight, truly, of the company of the Elect and the good.
Sura 11:71 And
We gave Abraham the glad tidings
("good news") of Isaac and after him Jacob / Israel (the son of
Isaac).
Sura 15:54 "
Good news" of a son.
Sura 51:28 Glad tidings
("good news") of a son (Isaac - "laughter" in Hebrew) and Sarah laughed being 90 years old (the word Isaac means laughter and because Sarah laughed the child was named "laughter" - Isaac in Hebrew).
We gave the "
good news" means "
news from God" via an angel messenger. No angel was ever sent to Abraham to announce the birth of Ishmael and this is born-out by
all of the Holy Scriptures. He was born because of Sarai (Sarah) not because of God and was born to an Egyptian surrogate-mother, called Hagar.
All of the references of "
good news" refer to
Isaac and
not to Ishmael, PROVING THAT THE MECCANS CHANGED THE NAME ISAAC FOR ISHMAEL IN Sura 2:125 and 127.
However Ishmael was blessed by God,
later, when Abraham, who loved him, asked God to let Ishmael live before God (
Genesis 17:18-20).
