The piece discusses Abraham's two sons Ishmael and Isaac and how Islam views them. Ishmael is seen as the firstborn and a prophet, with his lineage yielding Mohammad and the model of surrender to God. Isaac's line includes many prophets, and the birth story itself is less emphasized than the meanings.
