Ishmael- Abraham's son by the servant girl Hagar- became the forefather of the Arabs. Isaac- Abraham's son by his wife Sarah- begat the nation of Israel. Each has a piece of the puzzle and still they fight. Neither accepts the other although both are blessed by God. Look and learn.

Israel and the other one is not Arab, as Arabians are born from Ismail the illegitimate son from Abraham and his maid servant Hagar, who was brought by his wife Sarah from Egypt. The other great nation may be Hebrews. Indians as a great nation were already there, much before Abraham himself was born, whose greatness is still continuing unabated, so far as its culture and philosophy is concerned.

God promise Abraham that all the nations of the earth would blessed. Genesis 12: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 17: 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

He talks about the Jews and the Muslims. Jews were going to be God's favourite nation but they dissapointed him and did not beleive in him so the Kingdom of God was going to be handed in over to the Muslims who still mdo follow him. This my friend is in the Bible.

The Jews would be a great nation through his son, Isaac, and the Arabs would be a great nation through his son Ishmael.

abraham was to be father of nations
Abrah was his origina name... means father
Abraham means Father of nations (plural) and God renamed him and Sarai to Sarah as well
Abraham had about 8 kids
Ishael... traditionally father of Arabs
Isaac ... father of Jews
about six sons of Keteruah... spread out to be other nations
spritually Abraham's descendants would be through Jesus, son of Isaac and the world would be blessed by offering salvation to all men

Jews and Arabs. Remember, Islam is a religion, not a people. The people who follow it are called Muslims. Ishmael is traditionally the father of the Arab people, not just those who choose to practice Islam.

He meant the Hebrews and the Arabs. He had other children by his second wife, Keturah, but they mostly brought forth ancient nations that didn't last.
