Prophet Ibrahim alayhis-salam worshipped Allah alone. He did not worship idols like his people did. He made du'a to Allah. He asked Allah for a righteous son. Allah answered his du'a. Allah promised him a son who would be patient and gentle.

The son was named Isma'il alayhis-salam. He grew up. He became old enough to walk and work with his father. Then, Prophet Ibrahim alayhis-salam saw a dream. The dreams of Prophets are true - they are revelation from Allah. This dream was a great test from Allah.

Ibrahim alayhis-salam told his son about the dream. "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you, so look what you think!" (Quran 37:102)

Isma'il alayhis-salam loved Allah. He told his father to do what Allah had commanded.

"O my father! Do that which you are commanded, if Allah wills, you shall find me of the patient ones."
