Abraham as the common ancestor of Abrahamic religions is of special position in the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, while some contemporary intellectuals are of the opinion that the difference between these three religions on Abraham is greater than what they have in common. A review of the interpretations and disputes made about the story of Abraham in the Qur’an and the Bible, particularly before opening the Second Vatican Council and the Catholic Church strong inclination toward dialogues, or rather, interfaith dialogues is a good case in point. In the meantime, the event “the Sacrifice of Abraham” (Abraham’s child sacrifice) is the most pivotal and controversial issues of which different interpretation have been presented in Abrahamic religions and has gained a different center of gravity in any other religious traditions. This paper, by reading the different conceptions which have been done based on the Qur’an’s version ,as well as , biblical narrative of this event, seeks to explore the main theme of the Abraham’s offering his child in Abrahamic religions, and cast a new light on this issue in three religious traditions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
Title :مسئله شناسی روایت ذبح فرزند ابراهیم علیه السلام در ادیان ابراهیمی
Abstract:
ابراهیم به عنوان نیای مشترک ادیان ابراهیمی، از جایگاهی ویژه در سنت دینی یهودیت، مسیحیت و اسلام برخوردار است. درحالیکه به باور برخی اندیشمندان معاصر، اختلاف این سه دین در مورد ابراهیم، از نقاط اشتراک آنها بیشتر است. مروری بر ادبیات تفسیری و مجادله ای پیرامون روایت ابراهیم در قرآن و کتاب مقدس، به ویژه تا پیش از شورای دوم واتیکان و عطف نظر کلیسای کاتولیک به اصل گفت وگو و تعامل ادیان، شاهدی بر این مسئله است. در این میان، ماجرای ذبح پسر ابراهیم علیه السلام ، از محوری ترین مسائل اختلافی است که در ادیان ابراهیمی تفاسیر متفاوتی از آن ارائه شده و در هر سنت دینی نقطه ثقل متمایزی یافته است. این مقاله درصدد است تا با بازخوانی برداشت های مختلفی که با تکیه بر روایت قرآن و عهدین از این واقعه صورت گرفته است، جان مایه اصلی روایت ذبح فرزند ابراهیم در ادیان ابراهیمی را مورد واکاوی قرار داده و این موضوع را در سه سنت دینی اسلام، مسیحیت و یهودیت در روایت ماجرایی واحد (ذبح پسر ابراهیم) بازنمایی کند.
