Muslims sacrifice because Allah asked prophet Abraham [Ibrahim]to sacrifice his son Ishmael [Ismail], Abraham obeyed and told Ismail with the order and asked for his openion, God saw how devoted he was he gave him a ram to sloter in place of his son. so Muslims sacrifice to show how generous Allah is:
101. So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
102. And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
103. Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
104. We called unto him: O Abraham!
105. Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
106. Lo! that verily was a clear test.
107. Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
108. And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
109. Peace be unto Abraham!
110. Thus do We reward the good.
111. Lo! he is one of Our belieslaves.
112. And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
113. And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

Where do the Jews believe Abraham was to sacrifice his son and what is this Muslim landmark called today?
I will divide this question into two parts: 1) Where do the Jews believe Abraham was to sacrifice his son? -- The Jews believe that Abraham brought Isaac to Mount Moriah in what is today Jerusalem to sacrifice Isaac. The Jews call this mountain the Temple Mount today. 2) What is this Muslim landmark called today? -- The Muslim name for the Temple Mount is the Haram ash-Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary. It sits beneath the Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex. It is interesting to note that Muslims do not believe that Ishmael was sacrificed at this location, but instead somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
