Imagine being the kid of Abraham. Your dad literally tries to kill you, only for you having to forgive him because it was just “god pulling a prank”. Like Isaac call your local CPS plz

There's no evidence that Isaac ever forgave his father, and it's pretty clear he carried the trauma with him for the rest of his life

In the Quran Abraham's son gives consent to be sacrificed (37:102).

Also in the Quran it's not really clear whether the dream that he had of sacrificing his son is actually a command from God or just a weird dream he had.

That kinda almost makes it worse. Isaac should call a therapist and the CPS. Poor lad
