Is Ishmael the First Born of Abraham ?

Question

If not.... then who is his father ??? and if the answer is yes then the bible says the Arabs will get the LIONS SHARE of INHERITANCE from the Lord. This would explain why God gave them the Holy Land 1400 years ago. -----------------The Bible Says why Arabs (Descendants of Ishmael, the fist born – and Mohammed the Final Abrahamic Prophet ) will always get the LIONS SHARE OF INHERITANCE from the Lord of Abraham………………..21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

Answer 1

This is true, Hagar was the wife of Abraham:

So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife (Genesis 16:3)

Answer 2

Yes according to the holy Qur'an Abraham prophet had 2 sons.He had 2 wives and he loved them all fairly..But until he became old he had no son.So Abraham prayed to Allah the only one God asking for children.His second wife called Siti Hajar from Etiopia was pregnant and then she born a son called Ishmael.Muhammad pbuh the last prophet was the descendant from Ishmael..Abraham brought his family (siti Hajar and Ishmael) Pelestine to the valey of Mecca and let them there.Ishmael wanted water for drinking.His mother went to and pro from the Safaa hill to Marwa hill seven times, but she did not find water.After that Hajar came back to Ishmael who was waiting near Kabaa and she saw a water spring that was called jam jam.Until now jam jam water always flowing.When Abraham came back to Palestine he prayed again and then his first wife Siti Sarah was pregnant.A son was born called Ishaq as Abraham's second son.Among the descendant of Ishaq prophet was Isa Al masih or Jesus as a grandson of Imran prophet born by his daughter Mary or Siti Maryam.The father of Abraham was an infidel .He made statues and then he prayed it.Abraham at a night destroyed all little statues and kept the biggest one.His father asked Abraham who destroyed his statues.Abraham answered that the biggest one destroyed the other statues..Abraham was burnt by the King of Namrud but he was saved by Allah who asked the fire to be cool.

Answer 3

so, your saying that the arabs should give up about a third of the middle east to israel?

I mean, that way it'd be like you said, that the descendants of the first born getting twice what the decendants of the other son gets, right?

the way it is now, they have like 200x (or more?) as much geographic territory...

second, God can make exceptions. and it wasn't up to abraham what the sons got. God blessed both Ishmael and Isacc DIFFERENTLY. Isacc got prefferential treatment because he was of abraham's wife. Ishmael wasn't completely ignored, but really the verse your looking at really doesn't apply.

edit: oh thought of another detail of why this doesn't apply, even if it was up to abraham, (which it wasn't)
>>" If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, "<<
Hagar was never his wife. she was a slave woman, Sarai's Handmaiden, her servant, and that never changed. she only had the opportunity to bear Abraham's child because sarai was thought to be barren.

edit to below...
>>"He had 2 wives and he loved them all fairly..But until he became old he had no son.So Abraham prayed to Allah the only one God asking for children.His second wife called Siti Hajar from Etiopia was pregnant and then she born a son called Ishmael."<<

link attached, ok, so I was wrong and he did marry her, "and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. " BUT its pretty clear that Abraham (at that point his name not yet changed) didn't really care about Hagar as he tells Sarah to do whatever she thinks is right about Hagar. (and sarah clearly severely disliked hagar)
in genesis it makes it quite clear that Hagar and Sarai were *not* equals to Abraham.

Answer 4

Yes, Ishmael is the first born son of Abraham, born of Hagar the maid servant of Sarah. It was due to the lack of faith/sin of Abraham and Sarah that they did not believe God would allow Sarah to become pregnant at such an old age, that Ishmael was born. We see the results of man's sin/disobedience to God and the knock-on events that take place even thousands of years later through this example.

Answer 5

But..... God told Abraham to listen to his wife...and send his son and concubine out into the desert, Abraham being so loving of God and afraid, that he did as God told him to do...now it is written that he(Ishmael) will receive double portions....do you think God deliberately made Abraham do this...so that for many years....there would be bloodshed across the world?

Answer 6

Ishmael I love that name. Who knows he might have been whoring around with some street whores and knocked them up and they didn't think it was important enough to tell us. Did you know the first line in the novel Moby Dick is " Call me Ishmael." If I ever have a sun I will name him Ishmael.

Answer 7

God's promise was to Isaac. Sorry dude. Ishmael was the child that happened because Sara and Abraham doubted God. A child who was born of a bondwoman.

So Isaac was the child that God promised Abraham.

Answer 8

what I can understand that you have made all you statement from the bible about all (the 3 prophets that you mentioned Peace of Allah be upon all of them) I mean , why not go and read that in the Quran and see for yourself.
