What god asked Abraham to do?

Answer 1

To sacrifice his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Answer 2

God called prophet Abraham to worship Him as the one and only one God with no partner, no companion, no son, no associate, and no equivalence. God called Abraham (or Ibrahim) to submit fully to Him and show full surrender to His will and called Abraham to call for Islam (that means full submission to God).

According to Islam, God told Abraham to move to Mecca and leave his wife and son there and then again he came back and built the Kaaba with his son.

also God said him to destroy the deities in his city when he was young.

Answer 3

In Genesis chapter 20 God told Abraham to offer his only son Isaac to Him as a sacrifice.

Gen 22:1-18 MKJV And it happened after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me. (v.2) And He said, Take now your son, your only one, Isaac, whom you love. And go into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to you. (v.3) And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him. (v.4) Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. (v.5) And Abraham said to his young men, You stay here with the ass. And I and the boy will go on to this way and worship, and come again to you. (v.6) And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife. And they both went together. (v.7) And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb for a burnt offering? (v.8) And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they both went together. (v.9) And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. And he bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on the wood. (v.10) And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. (v.11) And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here am I. (v.12) And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad, nor do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me. (v.13) And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked. And, behold, a ram behind him was entangled in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. (v.14) And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Will See; so that it is said until this day, In the mount of Jehovah it will be seen. (v.15) And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham out of the heavens the second time, (v.16) and said, I have sworn by Myself, says Jehovah; because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one; (v.17) that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies. (v.18) And in your Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

Answer 4

In Judaism and Christianity, it is believed that God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. However, modern Islamic belief is that God asked Abraham to sacrifice his other son, Ishmael.
Abraham's near sacrifice of his son is described in sura 37, but the text does not state which son was to be sacrificed. The bulk of early Islamic interpreters examined the text and decided that the son was Isaac. They noted that the sacrifice occurred early, before Abraham travelled to Mecca with Ishmael. Also, every time God promised Abraham a son in the Koran, the son is named as Isaac. Therefore, when Abraham prayed for a son at the start of the story, he would have been praying for Isaac.
Other interpreters relied on the fact that God had already promised that Isaac would have a son and, since God does not break promises, would not have asked for Isaac to be sacrificed. Also, Abraham is being asked to sacrifice a son when he would seem to be too old to have another, which would only apply to his first son, Ishmael.

The scholar Reuven Firestone collated more than 200 medieval Islamic commentaries and concluded that 130 named Isaac and 133 named Ishmael. Over time, the proponents of Ishmael prevailed. Eventually Muslims came to believe that the Jews had dishonestly introduced Isaac into the story because they believe he is their father, while Ishmael is believed to be the father of the Arabs.
