The Almerciful Lord Creator of the Universe with His...

The Almerciful Lord Creator of the Universe with His gracious will to educate man and train him for the higher object of his creation and to qualify him for the glorious heights of the heavenly bliss sent apostle after apostle from Him. Apostles of God were sent in every part of the earth to the people jnhabiting it. Some were sent as mere preachers and some with scriptures, some were for a limited zone and some for a wider area-some superior to the others.

Some as law givers as Moses and some as the rerewers of the already given law, like Jesus. Most of them prophesying the advent of the Last or the Final of God's Apostles and prophets. Of the children of Adam God had chosen a particular lineage, and the Lineage was particularly blessed to be progenitors of the selected apostles of His Abraham was given the Imamat to be perpetuated in his seed but teaching only those free from iniquity.

The Divine device was to present a pathetic sight of sacrifice in the way of the Lord, depicting the sublime submission to the Divine Will, which is the only source or the only Royal Road to the heavenly bliss in store for man who earns it. A rehearsal of the divinely destined drama of the sacrifice was made employing Abraham and his son Ishmael for the trial.

Abraham and Ishmael proved true the selection but the event was not to be as it was temporarily enacted only as a trial The aim behind its proper enactment was too high, too great and too grave. There was yet no demand for them to be presented on a mount unseen by any man and it was not unknown to the human world. Just to make Abraham pass the knife that a living body was placed under it. Abraham was told by the Lord that the divinely designed event was a Great Sacrifice.

Abraham was promised that God's Covenant will be estab- lisbed with him and his seed. Abraham had two Sons Ishmael (through Lady Hagar) and Isaac (through Lady Sarah) but the pro- mise to Abraham even according to the Bible of the Christian Church does not mention the name of any of the two sons, but only it was said that the Covenant will be with Abraham and his seed.

"And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and in thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant." OT. Gen. 16:7 The divinity of the purity, physical as well as spiritual endowed in Abraham flew in both the channels of his seed, Ishmael and Isaac and Twelve Princes (Imams) were promised in the seed of Ishmael (OT. Gen. 18 :20).
