Ibrahim & Ismaʿil عليهما السلام Obey Allah
Teach young learners the story of Ibrahim عليه السلام and Ismaʿil عليه السلام obeying Allah with this engaging Sirah lesson. Learners discover what it means to love Allah above all else.
This lesson follows Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام and his son Ismaʿil عليه السلام as they face a test that asks everything of them.
Ibrahim عليه السلام receives a command from Allah in a dream. He tells Ismaʿil عليه السلام, and a child replies with something remarkable: “O my dear father! Do as Allah commands.” On the way to Mina, Shaytan tries to stop them three times. Ibrahim عليه السلام ignores him and throws stones. Then, just as the knife is lowered, Angel Jibril arrives with a sheep. They had passed the test. Allah, The Almighty, was pleased. The lesson ends with something learners can connect to right now: we sacrifice animals on Eid al-Adha because of this moment, this love, this obedience.
