Another indication that you have concealed the truth.
The descendents of Abraham, other than those descended from Jacob, are called Gentiles in early ages and early Christian literature confirms it........
" Behold I have made thee Abraham, the father of the Gentiles who believe in God in uncircumcision. " --[ An Examination of the claims of Ishmael by J.D.Bate, pg-329]
" Thomas Wyatt..........of an ancient and Gentile family. "--[ The shorter Oxford dictionary by William Little & others, edited by G.T.Onions ]
The word 'Gentle' and 'Gentile' are bothe derived from the Latin word " GENTILIS" i.e 'well borne' or ' belonging to a family of position'.
"Gentile" is some time used for 'gentle' in literature........
" Noble men and GENTILE ne bered nout packis......M.E. "--[Eadie, pg-518]
1***** The use of the word Gentile for his descendents is one of the strong proofs that ISHMAEL was not a baseborne and son of a concubine of a slave mother, but must be of a noble birth.
Issac's mother's parentage is not given in the scriptures while Ismael's mother belonged to a royal family.
Mother of Ishmael, 'Hagar' the Arabic form of which is " Hajirah" was the daughter of Pharaoh[ Hasting's dictionary of the Bible, Vol.II,pg-278]
2***** This one of the reasons, why Ishmaelites are called Gentiles.
On the other hand Sarai's parentage is not given in scriptures becoz she belonged to the common people, being daughter of 'TEHIVITA' [The Holy Bible by Adam Clarke, Vol-I,pg-403] and 'TERAH' [ Gen. 20:12]
It is true that the descendents of Issac through Jacob, could not rise above common people social status for several generations and entered as " Shepherds" [Gen.47:3] into Egypt.
Genesis represents Hagar or Hajirah as one of the concubines of Abraham.[Gen. 25:6] and ....
"Concubinage is ranked with fornication and adultery ."--[Eadie,pg-165], which as per Jewish scripture clearly suggets that Abraham was a fornicator and an adulterer.
On the contrary Quran declares Abraham ...
" A model of religion unto mankind "--II,pg19]
" One of great veracity, [and] a prophet."--XIX,pg-330]
" ...righteous ." --XXIX, pg-390]
3******Therefore since Abraham is admitted as the one who is righteous, it is evident that Hagar i.e. Hajirah can not be a cocubine BUT MUST BE A LEGITIMATE WIFE.
" Hajir " means a man who leavea his country and the name "HAJIRAH" means a woman who leaves her country. [ The migrants of Indian Muslims to Pakistan in 1947, are still known in Pakistan as the " MUHAJIRS " ]
Therefore when Abraham leaves his country for good, he becomes "Hajir" and his wife must be "Hajirah" or Hagar.
" Hagar signifies a starnger or sojourner and it is likely that she got this name in the family of Abraham, as the word is pure Hebrew."--[ Holy Bible by Adam Clarke, vol-I,pg-114]
5******* It is therefore clear that Hagar was a legitimate wife of Abraham and not a concubine.
The Talmud clearly says....." Abraham married 3 wives , Sarah a daughter of Shem, Keturah, a daughter of Japhet and Hagar, a daughter of Ham."-- [A Talmudic Miscellany by Faul Issac Hershon, pg-290]
Another Christian scholar says, " Hagar .......is there the legitimate wife of Abraham. "-- The Traditions and Beliefs Of Ancient Israel by J.K.Cheyene,pg-268]
Since Sarah could not bear a child for ten years, she herself ........
"..........gave her husband to be his wife."--[Gen, 16:1-3]
Sarah , " Gave LOT, the son of Haran, to Abram as an adopted son. "-- [ Chronicles of Jerahmeel by M.Gaster, pg-77]
" Melo qouted by Eusebius from Alexander Polyhistor, a heathen historian, relates that Abraham......... of his Egyptian wife begat 12 sons"--[ Historical Geography Of Arabia by Foster, vol-I,pg-208]
The Talmud clearly gives out that Hagar is a pious proselyte;
" These are the pious female proselytes ;- Hagar"--[ A Talmudic Miscellany by Hershon pg-313,Bereshith Midrash Rabbah qouted..]
6***** So Hagar was a " Bond-servant" but how......
" .......better for his daughter to be BOND-SERVANT in the house of Abraham than a mistress in the palace of another "-- [Hastin's Dictionary of Bible vol-II,pg-278]
ABOUT ISHMAEL,,,,,,!!!!!!!!!!!
As described above the Jewish scriptures described Abraham as fornicator and adulterer, Genesis & Deaut. further say.....about SARAH.....& Abraham........
" Indeed she is my sister ; she is daughter of my father , but not of my mother ; and she became my wife."--[Gen. 20:12]
" Cursed be is he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother."--[ Deut, 27:22]
Therefore Issac , the father of Israel ir represented as a bastard or a child of " incestuous or adulterous caunection."--[ The Holy Bible by Wordsworth, vol-I,pg-253]
On the contrary, Quran clears him of this charge too since he is ......
" ...a righteous prophet "--[ XXXVI,pg-440], being of a noble birth.
My dear friend it is you and your altered scriptures which do not stand the trial of truth. You can not conceal the truth for long.
I have got plenty of evidences to contradict your claim. I dont have to disregard you since..........I have been instructed to.....
" Invite (people) to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful Preaching, and argue with them in the best ways."Quran [16:125]
!!!!!!!!!!! BELIEVE NOT IN THE FICTION, BUT SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!
