Seeds of Abraham 1

Jews, Christians and Muslims all confess to be followers of the faith of Abraham but still they cannot come to a common understanding and acceptance of each other's interpretation of the way of worship.
In the foreground are the three prophets: Moses, Jesus and Mohammed holding the written words of their message
In the background Abraham is ready to sacrifice his son, as the proof of his love of God, but the angel of the Lord stops him saying, 'Abraham, lay not your hand upon the lad'.
The Lord forbids human sacrifice and human martydom in His name.
