Is it true that Abraham sacrificed Ishmael, not Isaac?
• Yes, because Ishmael was the firstborn of God. Ishmael is the firstborn, Isaac was not born when this even happened. The location of this was in the Mecca. Mecca is a city… Ka’aba is the first house built to God…contains a meteorite in it. • What is the Hadith? • The sayings of Muhammad. Not the direct word of God. It is the revelation of God to Muhammad, almost as good as the Koran, but not quite. We are to follow it. They are inspired sayings by God. Everything Muhammad did and said was infallible and inspired…but the Koran is on a higher level… because the koran is the direct revelation from God. • How can you have a lesser inspired word of God in the Hadith? • I don’t know how to explain it to you. • How is sin removed in Islam? • God accepts sincere repentance and on the day of Judgment if our good deeds are more than our bad deeds, we may go to Paradise . • If on the day of judgment our good deeds out-weigh our bad deeds, and if Allah so wills it, we can go to Paradise.
