Ismail and the Ram

After years of praying for a child, Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salaam and Hajar were blessed with Ismail, a kind and obedient boy. When Allah commanded Ibrahim in a dream to sacrifice his son, Ismail answered, 'Do as Allah has commanded; you will find me patient,' and Allah sent a ram in his place. Ibrahim passed the test, and Muslims remember it every year at Eid al-Adha.
