Remember! Nobody is allowed to slaughter his own or anyone else’s child or any other human being just on the basis of a dream or a voice from Ghayb. If anyone did so, he would be extremely sinner, deserving the torment of hellfire. As for Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام being prepared to slaughter his son on the basis of a dream, this is the truth because he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is a Prophet and the dream of a Prophet is based on divine-revelation.
In effect, it was a test for them. Sayyidunā Jibrāīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام brought a ram from Paradise which was slaughtered by Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام with the order of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in place of his beloved son. This unique sacrifice of Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm and Sayyidunā Ismā’īl عَـلَيْـهِمَا الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام will remain alive till the Day of Judgement. Muslims will continue to sacrifice particular types of animals every year on the occasion of Eid-ul-Aḍḥā.

Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام remained childless for a very long period of time. He عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was blessed with Sayyidunā Ismā’īl عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام at the age of 99.[1] Praying to be blessed with a son, Sayyidunā Ibrāĥīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام used to say:
