(Gen 16: 5) Sarah abuses Hagar, until she flees, she has a child, and God tells her to name him Yishmel. (Gen 16: 6) Yishmel was 13 when he was circumcised. God says Yishmel shall become the father of 12 chieftains. (Gen 17: 20)

Ishmael Christianity Since God had kept Sarah from having children, she gives her maid servant, Hagar, to Abraham as a birth mother. (Gen 16:2) Hagar gives birth to Ishmael; however Sarah is displeased with Ishmael and forces Abraham to send them away. (Gen 21) Hagar is sent away with Ishmael under the command of Sarah, however is given a promise by God that Ishmael will have a great nation. (Gen 21)

Sacrifice Christianity Abraham is put to the test when asked to sacrifice Isaac Abraham thinks that even if Isaac dies, God will be able to raise him from the dead. Seen as a supreme act of perfect faith in God (Heb 11: 17-19)

Sacrifice Christianity Although Abraham is very important to Christianity, remember Jesus is still key figure to Christian faith. Abraham is father of Christian faith, but Jesus is Son of God Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM. -Jesus John 8:58

Sacrifice Islam Eid ul-Adha: ceremony focused on Abrahams willingness to sacrifice his promised son, which Muslims believe was Yishm'e'l. God spared Yishm'e'l s life and instead Abraham sacrificed a sheep This was considered Abrahams test of faith. (Surah 37: )

Covenant Judaism: God commanded Abraham to circumcise himself, his offspring and his slaves as a sign of an everlasting covenant. Isaac was circumcised on the 8 th day after his birth, by Abraham, like God commanded of him. (Gen 21: 4)

Covenant Christianity The First Church Council in Jerusalem decided that circumcision was not a requirement (Acts 15) Paul warned Gentile Christians against adopting Jewish practices. (Galatians 6: 12-16, Philippians 3:2-3)

Covenant Islam Circumcision is not mentioned as a requirement in the Quran However it is recommended in Sunni Islam ( Some quote the sayings of Muhammad in the Hadith, saying that circumcision is a requirement based on the covenant made with Abraham and Allah.
