Sacrificed Lamb By Ibrahim عليه السلام
Two other problems with taking the dream symbolically are as follows: Ibrahim صلى الله عليه وسلم is not a new prophet of God- he has been one for decades up to this point. How can we say he can’t interpreted revelation even up to this point. If prophets of God cannot interpret revelation then what chance do we have? Saying that dreams are symbolic therefore this one is also assumes that Allah only ever gives dreams symbolically. Yes the dreams in Surah Yusuf (or visions) are symbolic but how does that necessitate that all dreams/visions ever have always been or will be symbolic?
The case of a Prophet is different from the rest of human beings. Please refer to the following response of Ghamidi Sahab : Discussion 55838 • Reply 55882
