Linking Ismail to Isaac page

I am far from an expert in Islam. I notice that in the lede, Ismail's name links to Wikipedia's Isaac page. Obviously, this story is analogous to the story of Isaac in the Hebrew and Christian Bible, but in those texts it is clearly Isaac who is to be sacrificed, not Abraham's other son, Ishmael. I assume that Islam teaches that it was Ishmael, not Isaac, so I am not sure why this link makes sense? It makes it sound like Ismail is simply an Arabic translation for "Isaac" which doesn't seem to be the case. -KaJunl (talk) 15:39, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The real sacrifice is Isaac which describes what Lord Jesus will do in the NT for the Children of Israel (Jacob).

Here's the point, Jacob is the son of Isaac and in that event Lord Jesus said that he was sent only to the Children of Israel, Matthew 15:24 to serve as a Lamb, John 1:29,35,36 and to be the Ransom of those descendant of Isaac to Jacob(Israel), Matthew 20:28. 199.189.91.254 (talk) 14:00, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both Ishmael and Isaac are referred to as the “Sacrifice of God”

I improved the lede by adding the sentence (which is sourced): “Depending on the narrative, either Ishmael or Isaac is referred to with the honorific title "Sacrifice of God".” IsThisNotATing (talk) 00:31, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So…

This celebration celebrates the guy who wanted to save the child and stones the guy who wanted to stop the infanticide? Aren’t there any obvious criticisms of this that we can reference? 82.36.70.81 (talk) 16:31, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
