According to the Jews and the Christians the `Only Son` whom God had asked Abraham to offer for sacrifice, was `Isaac` and not `Ishmaa`el`. The Bible has recorded the story the story in a fairly detailed narrative. It is only once in the whole of the Narrative that the name of the `only Son` has been mentioned as `Isaac`, which is quite misfit in, rather contrary to, the context. The event of the offering for sacrifice was committed to Writing in the Bible more than a thousand years after its happening. It is quite unknown who is writer had been and what his credentials might be; but, of certain, he was not the eyewitness of the event. The present work is neither of polemical Nature nor simply a General informative paper. It is an attempt to address a long discussed problem on the Principal of objective research. It has been tried not to make any assertion or set forth an explanation to some word or theme without affording a referential authority. It has also been tried to provide sufficient evidence to establish the themes that it may not be blamed to be based on scanty or one-sided evidence. It has further been tried to present the evidence faithfully and without any manipulations.
