Did the Islamic race come from Ishmael, Abraham's first son?

Arab is an ethnic term and Muslim is a religious term. Not all Arabs are Muslim and not all Muslims are Arabs.\nAn Arab is a person from Arabia.\nA Muslim is one who accepts Islaam as his religion. \n\nBoth Isaac (pbuh) and Ismael (pbuh) were prophets.\nIshmael (pbuh) was the one who was offered for sacrifice.\nIshmael (pbuh) was the first born.\n\nBoth Abraham (pbuh) and Ishmael (pbuh) built the Kaa'ba in Makkah.\nIshmael (pbuh) lived in Makkah.\nGod ordered Abraham (pbuh) to take Ishmael (pbuh) and Hagar to Makkah before Ishmael (pbuh) was weaned.\n\nMuhammed (pbuh) is a descendant of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Ishmael (pbuh).\nMoses (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) are descendants of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Ishaac (pbuh).\n\nYes! The roots are the same.

Isreal is the home of the dead sea and has many temples some people there speak hebrew and arbic.Most kids turn 13 the have a barmitspha (boys) or a batmitspha (girls).\nThe reason the Mislim people are trying to take over it is \nbecause in the Bible God said to abraham will have a son and he will become a great nation (isreal) but his wife luaghed at the Idea then after awhile she told him to "sleep" with her maid. and the Ishmeal was born and started the Muslim religion then Isaac was born there was Isreal. and you get the picture.

No because the Jews came from a very distinct family line.  It started with Abraham and then through Jacob which God later names Israel. There were many people on the Earth when Abraham was around.

Who are God's chosen people?\n\nGod's chosen people are the "elect", whether those of faith prior to Christ's coming or after.  This is the mystery of the gospel.\n\nRomans 2:28-29 and Galations 3:28-29 tells us who a true "Jew" is...all "in Christ".  It has nothing to do with race or gender.\n\nThe "Israel of God" (Galations 6:16) are all who identify themselves to Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ and who obey Him.\n\nGod is no respecter of persons.  To give special consideration to a physical nation or group of people is Zionistic and anti-scriptural.  It is to miss completely WHO Abraham's seed really is.\n\nAbraham's seed is Christ.  Abraham was not a Jew.  Jacob had not even been born to Isaac yet.  And it is for Jacob that Israel was named, and Judah was a son of Jacob (name later changed to Israel).  It is from Judah that the name "Jew" comes.  Therefore, Abraham was not a Jew. \n\nSo, all "in Christ" are Abraham's true lineage who will inherit the promises God promised to Him.  God's people are those of FAITH, not race.

schneb, on the contrary, 2500 B.C the cannanites from southeast Arab occupied the area and were said to be the first to occupy the land. They were said to be the first to name the area Urusalem i.e. Jerusalem. The first king and religious leader of the tribe was Sadek. It was said that during the time of Sadek, Abraham (a prophet in Islam as well as few other religions) brought Islam to the area.\n\nIt should be understood that for Muslims, the religions of their forefathers' prophets has always been Islam i.e. Adam is a muslim, Abraham is a muslim, Moses is a muslim, King David is a muslim as well as Solomon and Jesus. Mohammed was sent to redirect the faulty that mankind has created in this initially pure religion by altering and mending the books of God i.e. Torah, Bible and Zabur (sorry not sure of the English translation for this particular book). The Quran is, as believed by the muslims, words of God that corrects the amendments as well as bringing the messege of God's One-ness.\n\n2000 B.C. the Amorites (from the same origin as the Cannanites) joined in with the Cannanites followed by the Phonicians that came from the north.\n\nThen only at around 1300-1200 BC, the Philistines race occupied the south of Jerusalem. It is believed that it was around this time that Moses and his followers left ancient Egypt which was then (believed to be) ruled by Ramses II. His followers were said to be of 6000-8000 people. They occupied East of Jerusalem i.e. East of Dead Sea which did put pressure on the Cannanites, the original occupier of that area.\n\nThe Quran doesn;t mention Jerusalem by Jerusalem or by its arabic name,Baitul Maqdis. The Quran refers it by the name of the Holy Mosque within Jerusalem, Masjid Al-Aqsa.\n\nIt was between 1025-586 BC that the Israelites, followers of a few prophets in Islam (different time span), e.g. King David and Solomon, occupied Jerusalem. It was also within this time that the First Temple was built i.e. around 3000 years ago.\n\n586 BC - King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon conquered the Israelites and brought them to Babylon as prisoners of war. It was between this time that the Old Testament was WRITTEN.\n\n539-331 BC - Persian King, Cyrus defeated the babylonians and conquered Jerusalem. He allowed the Israelites brought to  Babylon (above) to come back to Jerusalem.\n\nThe authorities in Jerusalem changed hands quite a few time after that, starting with Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Maccabean Jews, King Titus of Rome (that completely destroyed the Temple and killed many Jewish people in Jerusalem), Uryanus of Rome (prevent a rebellion from Jews at 117-138 AD and almost wiped out the whole Jewish population in Jerusalem) and finally the Byzantine Empire until 636 AD when Muslims under the leadership of Umar Al-Khattab, the 2nd caliph after the life of Mohammed.\n\nThus, it is almost impossible that Jerusalem been a Jewish capital for 3300 years if there were so many empires taking turns to conquer Jerusalem, what more with the likes of mighty Rome.\n\n363 AD, the muslims take over Jerusalem from Byzantine under the Umariyah Peace Treaty. There was no war on that day, as the Byzantine surrendered peacefully.\n\n7th June 1099, the Crusades army took over Jerusalem. 70,000 people were killed despite seeking refuge in mosques. They remained in charge for 91 years.\n\nBetween then and 1187, battles took place between the muslim army lead by Salahuddin Al-Ayubi (Saladin) and the crusades army. A 3 year ceasefire treaty was signed between the 2 parties. But during the early months of 1187, Arnat, one of the generals in the crusade army broke that treaty by ambushing a muslim trade convoy from Egypt to Damascus. Saladin demanded the convoy to be released but Arnat replied synically, "Tell Mohammed to release you all" At that time, Saladin swore to kill Arnat.\n\nMay 1187, Battle of Shufuriyyah between the muslim army and the Crusade army took place to lure the crusade army out of th

Mohammed's (PBUH) parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle. As his uncle was a pagan, it is likely that his parents were too, although Mecca was a religiously diverse place. There were Jewish and Christian tribes in Arabia at the time of Mohammed, and other tribes that were pagan and some that were Zoroastrian.

Christ started the entire charistian religous adventure. Would it be fair to say the Christianity is a religion and a race. A race that is poulated by blood descendants of jesus? Unlikely.\n\nOr, the first jew was Abraham who took the commandment from God outside of the cty of Ur, check out the old testament for this. Before that Abraqham was not a Jew, just like Christ was Jewish befor he converted to Christianity by his death by some charistians account. Therefore the only true members of the Jewish race would be blood descendants of Abraham. Again not a likely defintion or race event.\n\nBut to be precise here is the definition of race(noun)\na group of persons related by common descent or heredity.  \n2. a population so related.  \n3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.  \nb. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.  \nc. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.  \n \n4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.  \n6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race.  \n7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.  \n8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes.  \n9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race.  \n\nThe only definitions for race that come close are"\n 4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race\n\nJews may or may not have developed from a common tribe or ethnic stock. If you believe they did, the 12 tribes of Israel...then Yes Jews are a race.\n\nIf you believe that jews are united by a common history...you are making a wek argumenbt as Jews can be found in many countries and cultures are are unrelated by a common history, language or culture.\n\nNo...jews only have a religion in common. They are a very diverse froup of individuals spread arounfd the world living within cultures and speaking diverse languages so they are not tryuly a race as such.

Abraham(Ibrahim) was asked to sacrifice his son, Ishmael(Ismail)..\nit's written in the Quran.\n\nlet me explain. Abraham has 2 wives. i forgot their names. Isaac is his son with his first wife. Ishmael is his son too but with his second wife. they are both his sons\n\nAl Qur'an is the latest 'book' the god sent us. the Holy Bible was written thousands of years before that. there are new things that the god wants to tell us. so i trust Al-Qur'an, the last testament

When you trace Virgin Marry genealogy, you'll find that she's a descendant of Shem (son of Noah). Shem is the father of the Semitic races (Arabs, Hebrew & Persians).\n\nBlacks are descendants of Ham son of Noah, actually his name (Ham) means hot, burnt or dark. In Anthropology, Ham is known as father of the Mongoloid and Negroid races (Hamites).\n\nJapheth whose name means opened, enlarged, fair or light is known as father of the Caucasoid/Indo-Europoid, Indo-European, Indo-Germanic, or Indo-Aryan races (Japhethites).  \n\nSo Jesus (pbuh) was Semitic, neither Cucasian nor Black.

Niether one was born but made by the hand of the Living God.  The first of the Adamic line to be actually born of course was Cain. \n\nThere is reasonable evidence to believe that the Adamic Line was not the first human line to be made, however.

It has to do with the divine covenant between God and Abraham with Sarah.  Not between Abraham and Hagar.  As Ishmael was Abraham's son, he was not part of the covenant though he did too get blessings.  So to say, "your only son"  Gen. 22: 1,2 was only referring to the son of the covenant between Sarah and Abraham.    God promised that a "great nation" would come from Abraham, through Sarah - who at the time was barren.  God then concluded a formal covenant over animal sacrifices with Abraham, and at the same time, he revealed that Abraham’s offspring would be afflicted for a period of 400 years, even being taken into slavery.—Ge 15:7-21, which happened through his sons.  \n\nIn 1919 B.C.E., when Abraham was 99 years old, as a sign or seal to testify to the special covenant relationship existing between himself and Abraham, God commanded that all the males of Abraham’s household be circumcised. At the same time God changed his name from Abram to Abraham, “because a father of a crowd of nations I will make you.” (Ge 17:5, 9-27; Ro 4:11) Soon after, three materialized angels, whom Abraham received hospitably in the name of Jehovah, (Psalms 83:18)  promised that Sarah herself would conceive and give birth to a son, yes, within the coming year!—Ge 18:1-15.\n\nAnd what an eventful year it proved to be! Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Abraham’s nephew and his two daughters barely escaped. A famine drove Abraham and his wife to Gerar, only to have the king of that Philistine city take Sarah for his harem. Jehovah God intervened; Sarah was released; and at the appointed time, 1918 B.C.E., Isaac, the long-promised heir, was born when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. (Ge 18:16–21:7) Five years later, when Isaac’s 19-year-old half brother Ishmael poked fun at him, Abraham was compelled to dismiss Ishmael and his mother Hagar. It was then, in 1913 B.C.E., that the 400 years of affliction upon Abraham’s offspring began.—Ge 21:8-21; 15:13; Ga 4:29.\n\nTo back track a bit - A year later Isaac was born; Ishmael was now 14. (Ge 16:16; 21:5) Five years after that, in 1913 B.C.E., on the day of Isaac’s being weaned, Ishmael was caught “poking fun” at his younger half brother. (Ge 21:8, 9) This was no innocent child’s play on the part of Ishmael. Rather, as implied by the next verse in the account, it may have involved a taunting of Isaac over heirship. The apostle Paul says these events were “a symbolic drama” and shows that the mistreatment of Isaac by the half-blooded Egyptian Ishmael was persecution. Hence, this was the beginning of the foretold 400 years of Israel’s affliction that ended with deliverance from Egyptian bondage in 1513 B.C.E.—Ga 4:22-31; Ge 15:13; Ac 7:6.\n\n“Furthermore, Abraham again took a wife,” Keturah, and thereafter fathered six additional sons, so that from Abraham sprang not only the Israelites, Ishmaelites, and Edomites but also Medanites, Midianites, and others. (Ge 25:1, 2; 1Ch 1:28, 32, 34) Thus it was that God's prophetic utterance was fulfilled in Abraham: “A father of a crowd of nations I will make you.” (Ge 17:5) Finally, at the good old age of 175, Abraham died, in 1843 B.C.E., and was buried by his sons Isaac and Ishmael in the cave of Machpelah. (Ge 25:7-10) Prior to his death Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his secondary wives and sent them away, so that Isaac would be the sole heir of “everything he had.”—Ge 25:5, 6.\n\nSorry that this is long, but I hope it helps to answer your question!

Yes, it does.  God also told Abraham that both of their descendants would have continual strife between them.  And still people wonder why peace in the Middle East will never be achieved.

I not know about a race, but most religions have simlar values and moral beliefs.  The might seem different but if you boil them down to their basics they are basically the same thing. So if God had a race he would have won a long time ago.

That story starts in Genesis 28 where Jacob was instructed by Issac to go to Padan-Aram to the house of his mother, Rebecca, and ask Laban (Jacob's uncle) for his daughter.  Rachal would have been Jacob's first cousin.

The way your question is worded, Allah is Queer.\n\nNoah had a wife, so no, Moses could not be a descendent of butt-poker Queer Allah.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob are the 3 Patriarchs.  \n\nAbraham was father of Isaac and Ishmael (Arab nations come from Ishmael). \n\nIsaac was father of Jacob and Esau (Roman Empire is said to come from Esau). \n\nJacob fathered the 12 tribes of Israel which is where the Jewish nation comes from.\n\nAbraham's wife was Sarah (a second wife was Hagar who bore Ishmael).\n\nIsaac's wife Rebbecca (Rebecca bore both Jacob and Esau)\n\nJacob's 2 wives Rachel and Leah (plus 2 more wives Bilhah and Zilpah who fathered some of the 12 tribes as well).\n\nSarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah are the 4 matriarchs.\n\nThere are many stories of all of them mainly in Genesis. They are our role models in their relationship to G-d and desire to do His Will. We also emulate their character traits such as kindness, compassion, etc.  Abraham was the first to turn away from Paganism as he ascertained by looking at the world around him that there must be One G-d, Creator of heavens and earth.  It is debated whether the  Patriarchs and Matriarchs were considered "Jewish" since the Jews did not become a nation till a few hundred  years later upon receiving the Torah at Sinai.  \n\nAlthough I've seen it mentioned several times on this site, it is NOT true that Jews only come from the tribe of Judah, although the root word of Judah and Jews is the same.  Jews today come from Levi, Judah and Benjamin.  The rest of the tribes are considered to be lost and will be reclaimed in future time.\n\nHope this answers your question.
