Isaac's Binding (Akedah)

Isaac’s Binding (Akedah) is a biblical story where God tests Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. As Abraham prepares to do so, an angel intervenes, stopping him and providing a ram as a substitute offering. This story explores themes of obedience, trust in God, and faith’s tests. It highlights Abraham’s willingness to follow divine command, and emphasizes that ultimate devotion involves trust even in difficult circumstances. The Akedah remains a powerful symbol of faith, obedience, and the complexities of divine-human relationships in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
