上帝忠实的追随者亚伯拉罕是圣经《旧约》中的著名人物,是阿拉伯人和犹太人的共同祖先。在当时多神论的时代,亚伯拉罕对上帝的存在深信不疑,乐于每天向上帝祈祷,和上帝进行心与心的交流。为了考验他的忠心,上帝要求亚伯拉罕将他的儿子以撒作为燔祭奉献给自己,亚伯拉罕在信仰和亲情间决绝地选择了前者,被认为是“信心之父”。 Abraham, God’s faithful follower, is a prominent figure in the Old Testament and a common ancestor of Arabs and Jews. Abraham was convinced of the existence of God in the epoch of polytheism and was willing to pray daily to God and to exchange heart and soul with God. In order to test his faithfulness, God demanded that Abraham dedicate his son Isaac to himself as a burnt offering. Abraham chose the former faithfully and affectionately for the former and was considered “Father of Faith.”
