The radical islamists are teaching their kids that all Jews are apes and pigs, yet you don't hear much about that on the NEWS!

Answer 2

We muslims have no ill feeling to Isaac.We respected Isaac and Ishmael in the same feeling that the 2 were brothers as sons of Abraham prophet who spread out monotheism.They believe in one God that is Allah..no other gods than Allah.

Answer 3

Christians have not got a undertaking with Muslims as long because of the fact the Muslims are not attempting to blow them up. Muslims on the different hand have various problems with Christians. One being that we help and incorporate Judaism into our faith, which for Muslims is a undertaking because of the fact Muslims have faith that Ismael replaced into the rightful inheritor to Abraham even however he replaced into no longer born to his spouse. 2d undertaking is that we will no longer convert to Islam so in accordance to different Islamic texts and pupils, we could desire to be placed to dying. various the Christians in the present day do understand that the Muslim Terrorists do no longer represent Islam in its entirety, basically like Catholicism's undesirable acts do no longer represent Christianity in that's entirety. because of the fact the Koran borrows heavily from the two Jewish and Christian texts, i do no longer see how they are able to then turn around and then condemn the two Religions. Concubines have been a particularly excepted technique of having little ones in historical situations because of the fact there wasn't any thank you to handle infertility back then, if the spouse replaced into no longer able to have little ones then a concubine replaced into used so as that the Husband could have an inheritor to inherit his land and possessions.

Answer 4

Both Isaac (pbuh) and Ismael (pbuh) were prophets.
Ishmael (pbuh) was the one who was offered for sacrifice.
Ishmael (pbuh) was the first born. He was Abraham's (pbuh) son from his wife Hagar. Hagar was the maid servant of Sarah whom Abraham (pbuh) married on Sarah's recommendation.
Isaac (pbuh) was Abraham's (pbuh) son from his first wife Sarah.

Both Abraham (pbuh) and Ishmael (pbuh) built the Kaa'ba in Makkah.
Ishmael (pbuh) lived in Makkah.
God ordered Abraham (pbuh) to take Ishmael (pbuh) and Hagar to Makkah before Ishmael (pbuh) was weaned.

Muhammed (pbuh) is a descendant of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Ishmael (pbuh).
Moses (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) are descendants of Abraham (pbuh) from his son Isaac (pbuh).

Yes! The roots are the same.
So we Muslims respect both the sons of Abraham (pbuh) and find no reason to hate or speak ill against one or the other.

Answer 5

I am a Jew-and, for my own interest, and wanting of knowledge, I am studying Islam-with a teacher.

I was told that Muslims consider Muslims and Christians come from Ishmael, and are brothers. The Jews come from Issac, and are the cousins of the Muslims. They feel Issac is family, as he came from Abraham. Were you expecting a dislike of him, or such? There is none.

Answer 6

WE BELIEVE IN HIM AS A PROPHET

A PASSAGE FROM THE QURAN:

[2.136] Say: We believe in God and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Moses and Jesus, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.


ISNT IT BEAUTIFUL???

Answer 7

we feel that both of them are prophets of God.

[133] Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qûb (Jacob)? When he said unto his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your Ilâh (God - Allâh), the Ilâh (God) of your fathers, Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâq (Isaac), One Ilâh (God), and to Him we submit (in Islâm)."
Quran 2:133

Answer 8

Well, considering that Mohammad claimed descendce from the bastard Ishmael, I guess they've respect for Ishaque[Isaac] as the legitimate son of Ibrahim[Abraham].

Merry Crimbo!!!!!

Answer 9

It is what it is...we don't feel anything. They were both Prophets according to us.

Answer 10

RELIGION AND CIVILIZATION

The greatest bestowal of God in the world of humanity is religion; for assuredly the divine teachings of religion are above all other sources of instruction and development to man. Religion confers upon man eternal life and guides his footsteps in the world of morality. It opens the doors of unending happiness and bestows everlasting honor upon the human kingdom. It has been the basis of all civilization and progress in the history of mankind.

We will therefore investigate religion, seeking from an unprejudiced standpoint to discover whether it is the source of illumination, the cause of development and the animating impulse of all human advancement. We will investigate independently, free from the restrictions of dogmatic beliefs, blind imitations of ancestral forms, and the influence of mere human opinion; for as we enter this question we will find some who declare that religion is a cause of uplift and betterment in the world, while others assert just as positively that it is a detriment and a source of degradation to mankind. We must give these questions thorough and impartial consideration so that no doubt or uncertainty may linger in our minds regarding them.

How shall we determine whether religion has been the cause of human advancement or retrogression?

We will first consider the founders of the religions -- the prophets -- review the story of their lives, compare the conditions preceding their appearance with those subsequent to their departure, following historical records and irrefutable facts instead of relying  271  upon traditionary statements which are open to both acceptance and denial.

Among the great prophets was His Holiness Abraham who being an iconoclast and a herald of the oneness of God, was banished from His native land. He founded a family upon which the blessing of God descended; and it was owing to this religious basis and ordination that the Abrahamic house progressed and advanced. Through the divine benediction, noteworthy and luminous prophets issued from the lineage of His Holiness. There appeared Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David and Solomon. The Holy Land was conquered by the power of the Covenant of God with Abraham, and the glory of the Solomonic wisdom and sovereignty dawned. All this was due to the religion of God which this blessed lineage established and upheld. It is evident that throughout the history of Abraham and His posterity this was the source of their honor, advancement and civilization. Even today the descendants of His household and lineage are found throughout the world.

There is another and more significant aspect to this religious impulse and impetus. The children of Israel were in bondage and captivity in the land of Egypt four hundred years. They were in an extreme state of degradation and slavery under the tyranny and oppression of the Egyptians. While they were in the condition of abject poverty, in the lowest degree of abasement, ignorance and servility His Holiness Moses suddenly appeared among them. Although He was but a shepherd, such majesty, grandeur and efficiency became manifest in Him through the power of religion, that His influence continues to this day. His prophethood was established throughout the land and the law of His Word became the foundation of the laws of the nations. This unique personage, single and alone, rescued the children of Israel from bondage through the power of religious training and discipline. He led them to the Holy Land and founded there a great civilization which has become permanent and renowned and under which these people attained the highest degree of honor and glory. He freed them from bondage and captivity. He imbued them with qualities of progressiveness and capability. They proved to be a civilizing people with instincts toward education and scholastic  272  attainment. Their philosophy became renowned; their industries were celebrated throughout the nations. In all lines of advancement which characterize a progressive people they achieved distinction. In the splendor of the reign of Solomon their sciences and arts advanced to such a degree that even the Greek philosophers journeyed to Jerusalem to sit at the feet of the Hebrew sages and acquire the basis of Israelitish law. According to eastern history this is an established fact. Even Socrates visited the Jewish doctors in the Holy Land, consorting with them and discussing the principles and basis of their religious belief. After his return to Greece he formulated his philosophical teaching of divine unity and advanced his belief in the immortality of the spirit beyond the dissolution of the body. Without doubt Socrates absorbed these verities from the wise men of the Jews with whom he came in contact. Hippocrates and other philosophers of the Greeks likewise visited Palestine and acquired wisdom from the Jewish prophets, studying the basis of ethics and morality, returning to their country with contributions which have made Greece famous.

When a movement fundamentally religious makes a weak nation strong, changes a nondescript tribal people into a mighty and powerful civilization, rescues them from captivity and elevates them to sovereignty, transforms their ignorance into knowledge and endows them with an impetus of advancement in all degrees of development -- (this is not theory, but historical fact) -- it becomes evident that religion is the cause of man's attainment to honor and sublimity.
