Speaking through Muhammad to Arabs newly converted to Islam, Allah says at another point in the Qur’an:
Behold the revelations of the Manifest Book!
We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an; perhaps you will understand.
We narrate to you the fairest of narratives, through what We revealed to you—this Qur’an.
And yet before it you were heedless. (12:2–3)
Among the fair narratives, that of the heroic joint submission of Abraham and his son stands supreme. Historic in the Hebrew Bible, symbolic in the New Testament, their ordeal becomes both paradigmatic and foundational in Islam, linked as it is both to the Arabic Qur’an and to the supremely hallowed desert oasis in Arabia to which, around the world, millions of Muslims still direct their prayers, their theolatry, five times a day.
