‘Thou hast indeed fulfilled the dream.’ Thus indeed do We reward those who do good.
English - Five Volume Translation
‘Thou hast indeed fulfilled the dream.’ Thus indeed do We reward those who do good.[3338]
Commentary:
The words "Thou hast indeed fulfilled the dream" show that Abraham was not required to fulfil his vision in actual fact but that it was only a practical demonstration of his intention and preparedness to slaughter his son which was desired of him. The vision, as stated above, had already symbolically been fulfilled in Hagar and Ishmael having been left by Abraham in the valley of Mecca which was at that time an arid and barren waste. The leaving behind of a weak and helpless woman with a child, in a place completely devoid of all signs of life and even of water or any other means of subsistence, did indeed constitute a great sacrifice on the part of the noble Patriarch.
