The Binding of Ishmael (Arabic: عَقْد إِسْمَاعِيل, romanized: ʿAqd Ismāʿīl) refers to the narrative in Islamic tradition where Abraham is commanded by God to sacrifice his son, generally believed by Muslims to be Ishmael, though the Qur'an does not explicitly name the son. This contrasts with the Tawrat (the Arabic term for the Torah in Islamic context), which identifies Isaac as the son to be sacrificed in the Binding of Isaac.
