As we know Allah SWT ordered Ibrahim pbuh to sacrifice his son and in the last moment he stopped him, and Ibrahim was praised for his obedience.

While being obedient to Allah is the best you can do, I feel like it is human to have doubts, or maybe feeling hesitant to kill your own child.

And I wonder if Ibrahim actually had an idea before that this may be a test where Allah would intervene.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    But he trusted God and assumed things would be okay in the end somehow/this was necessary and for the greater good. Believing in the afterlife (a big chunk of ‘things will be okay in the end somehow’, I guess) is easier if you have such a close and revelatory connection to God as well. But still, who would do it? Would you? I know I would never want to be in that position…
