Considering the importance of Prophet Ibrahim as the founder of three monotheistic religions, orientalists in various works have addressed various aspects of the life of this prophet. Sprenger pointed out for the first time to the difference between the figure of Abraham in the Meccan and Medinan chapters, and the relation between Abraham and Mecca is myth. Hurgronje inspired by him, expanded this idea and by reconstructing Abraham's story in the Qur'an based on the historical sequence, the transformation of Abraham's figure into these surahs, In particular, the emphasis on the "mila’t Ibrahim", "Abraham's relationship with the construction of the Ka'bah and the ritual of Hajj," "the connection of Abraham with Ishmael and the victim's story" in medinan chapters, is a political trick to attract the opinion of the Mecca from the disappointment of the Prophet with the support of the Medinan Jews. In serious and ancient controversy over the sacrifice, despite the Qur'anic and biblical evidence that Ishmael was cursed, two important points raised from the teachings of the prophets are noteworthy in this story: The main purpose of the victim's trial is to test the ultimate command of Abraham and his son in the context of the divine command and the other is the effect of this incident in restoring the evil culture of human sacrifice in ancient times. In this paper, we will criticize this theory by explaining these theories and referring to its effects in later studies.

From a long time ago the interpreters of Sunnite and Shiite theologians have had dispute over the meaning of Imam (leader) and his characteristics, and dignities of the Imamate. Of course, to prove their points of views the most important documents for both groups are the verses of the Holy Quran among which the most important verses that Shiite refer to is Chapter Baqara (2): Verse 124 which, among others, describes the difference between prophecy and the positions of the Imam’s leadership, of which the most important characteristics of the leader include the necessities of inward and outward chastity and thus the determining of the Imam by God Almighty, is concluded. The Shiites also take this verse as an invalidation of any lecher and ruthless leadership, as Imam, until the Day of Resurrection, and use this verse in all of their verbal disputes about the subject of leadership after the (PBUH). On the other hand, Sunnite interpreters believe in the identity for the prophecy and Imamate (leadership) and took this verse as the requirement of the prophet’s chastity, yet they also took it for proving the Imam’s (leader’s) outward chastity and also to refer to it as invalidation of any lecher and ruthless leadership, either as a leader of an Islamic society, or in a judicial position of society or as the leader of congregational prayers
