Who was asked to sacrifice his son in the bible?
God did not ask anyone to kill His Son, but He asked His Son to die for the sin of the world. Jesus (God's Son) said, "The reason my Father [God] loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father" (John 10:17-18). So even though God used humans to kill Jesus, God Himself was the One Who sacrificed His only Son (and then rose him from the dead) because He loved the world. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God loves you and that He has a wonderful plan for your life. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham bound Isaac and was going to kill him, but an angel intervened and Isaac was not killed. God did this so Abraham could better understand how much love God has by giving his only begotten son to be cruelly killed to save mankind.

Intereting to note that the first child, born out of rebellion to God's promise became the root of the MUSLIM empire still warring to this day against God's chosen children the Israelites and the Children of Adoption...the Christians. Upon the promised child's birth by Sarah..given the name of Isaac..God again tested Abraham by asking that Abraham give back his only begotten son by Sarah..at the Alter of Sacrifice..Upon seeing Abraham's faith God changed His mind and stayed Abraham's hand as he was about to kill Isaac for the offering to God...God then provided the sacrifice...symbolic of the Christ given to save all of the World...a Ram caught in a bush..which Abraham did kill and sacrifice as a burnt offering acceptable to God...It's of interest that God furnished the sacrifice here...where men had always been called upon to furnish the sacrifice to God...So Abraham did reveal his true heart through this ulitmate test of faith and was then promised to be the "Father of many nations"..."numbering the sands of the sea shores"...God is always faithful but we must sometimes be called upon to reveal our heart to Him

Whose father was prepared to sacrifice him on an atar?
It was Abraham. He was asked in a test of faith by God to take one of his sons onto Mount Moriah and sacrifice him as a burnt offering. At the time, children were often sacrificed as burnt offerings to a variety of deities. Abraham submitted, despite the fact that he "loved" his son. He took the son up on the mountain and prepared to sacrifice him. At the last moment, God told him to stay his hand and a ram appeared in the bushes. Abraham and his son slayed the ram as an offering, instead. God reiterated His promises to Abraham again, at this point, and made the covenant binding. Because Abraham had faith in the One God, God showed Himself different from other gods who desired human sacrifice and started His history with a people: the Jews or the Muslims. Christianity also lays claim to this story as the fore-shadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
