AB - Jews, Muslims, and Christians have become estranged, because of historical barriers and conflicts, misperceptions, and ignorance of each other’s belief systems. The implications of Jewish Yom Kippur, Muslim Eid Al-Adha, and Christians' atoning sacrifice can enrich each other’s tradition and promote a greater understanding of each other’s faith. Abrahamic tradition can be complementary rather than competitive to appreciating their versions of faith and cultures. In Islam, Muslims offer animal sacrifice at Eid Al-Adha following their annual pilgrimage, Hajj, and Jews start a new year with Rosh-Hashanah from which they find their identity and origins of Abraham. In the four Gospels, the perfect model of sacrifice on the cross is described as the equivalent propitiation for all humankind's sin that substituted men's offering of animal sacrifices. The divergences and convergences between sacrificial offerings and Jesus’ sacrifice can reveal the crossroad of interfaith dialogue between three traditions. Hence, by comparing the understanding of ‘the son of Abraham's sacrifice’ within each religion, this paper explores the origin of 'Kaparah' in different religious contexts and finds its relation to the suffering servant.
