The Lord came to Abraham and said he must go to the promise land and god would make him a great nation.
Abraham left with his family and when they reached Moreh, the lord appeared and said i will give this land to you children.
Abraham was confused because him and Sarai were childless.
Sarai was old and to frail to bare a child, so they decided to mkae hagar concieve the baby.
Sarai got upset and jealous with hagar, so hagar ran away to the desert.
The Lords angel came down and told hagar she must go back and obey sarai and that hagar would have a son and he was to be named ishmael.
Hagar had a baby and he was named Ishmael....years passed.
God came down and told Sarai and Abram their names were to be Abraham and Sarah, he said they were to have a son called Isaac that was to be concieved by Sarah.
Sarah didn't want Ishamel and Hagar around anymore so she told abraham he had to make them leave.
They started to Musilim religion.

Why Was Abraham Tested
God said to Abraham - Go to the region or Moriah and sacrifice Isaac.
Abrham was sad but did not question the Lord.
He left with his son telling the family they were going on a trip.
Abraham prepared wood so Isaac could be burnt offering.
Isaac was confused but did as his father said.
Suddenly they heard god say "Do not lay a hand on the boy. Now I know that you fear god."
Abraham and Isaac were both relieved and killed a ram as an offering to God.

God tested Abraham to see - how faithful he was, whteher or not he loved and trusted God.
I don't think God should if done that because - Abraham must of been really upset thinking he was to loose his only son and poor Isaac didnt know what was going on.
Abraham was faithful and gained a lot from God.
