Why do Muslims disagree that Hagar was a wife and not a concubine? Jews have the original text don't they?

Answer 1

I am a Christian and Hagar was a wife.

She was given to Abram by Sari as a wife.
Concubines were taken by men and were not approved of by the wife.

In this case, Hagar was approved by Sari for the purpose of providing a male heir, so she was made a wife. Concubines could produce children, but could not produce an heir.


The muslims have a lot of things wrong, but it seems not this one.

Answer 2

Hagar was a wife of Abraham

Answer 3

Sammy Hagar? I don't think he had anything to do with Muslims or Jews... accept David Lee Roth.

Answer 4

What Jews have is the adulterated text. It is not God's world at all. Hagar was definitely wife of Abraham.

When Abraham first enter in the city of this King, he was told by some people that king is very hard and he might kill you to take your beautiful wife. After Eve, Sarah was the second most beautiful woman God ever made. Soon King himself saw Abraham and his wife Sarah. King asked who she is to you. Abraham said my sister for fear of his murder by the king. King said I want to marry hour sister. What could Abraham say now. He said yes. Soon with the order of King Sarah was prepared as bride, king married her and in the evening when king tried to approach her, he couldn't go near her. Some books say every time he advanced his hand towards her, his hand was paralyzed. Some stories say, something that was invisible wouldn't let the king go close to Sara. He made three unsuccessful attempts. Finally he came out and told to Abraham what he was facing and asked him what is she. Then Abraham said I am a Prophet of God and she is my wife. I was afraid that you will kill me to get her, so I and Sarah prayed to God for her protection and God didn't let you go near her. King then became friend of Abraham and gave his daughter Hager to learn about Abraham's religion from him and to take serve Sarah and Abraham both.
When Sara became old and lost hope of ever becomg mother, she herself proposed Abraham to marry Hagar so Abraham has a child from her. Soon Hager gave birth to a son. Child was only few years old, then God commanded Abraham to take Hagar and her son to the Valley of Mecca and leave her there. Abraham did as God told him. Hagar did not oppose when Abraham told that this is the command of Allah. Hager said if it so then God will take care of us and she settled where Kaaba is today. God had plan to raise a nation from this son Ismael of Abraham.

Mean while Abraham and Sarah kep living in Palestine where after few years Angels of God came and informed Abraham and his wife that God will give you a son. Sarah did not believe it being over 80 years old and Abraham was by then close to 100. Sarah son Ishaq was born who was few years younger than Ismael.

Jews want to show that they are superior than the Arab wife Hagar so they made this stupid story that Hagar was concubine. Kings did have concubines those days. But not a Abraham the friend of God and the most obedient Prophet of God. A prophet of God could never sleep with a woman unless God gives him permission to marry and make her his wife. Jews has accused Prophet David, Soleman and has written in Torah even stories that are pornographic so shameless that people can not read it to their children. How any one can believe Torah being a Divine Revelation?

This is what I recently read which is supposed to be in Old Testament:

Read the good book :“There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were hung like donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. You longed for….. youth, when in Egypt your buttocks were caressed and your young firm breasts fondled. “ (Holy Bible - Ezekiel 23:20-21)“……for in her youth men had lain with her, handled her youthful teats and ejaculated upon her breasts. “ (Holy Bible - Ezekiel 23:8)

Would any one read this page of OT to his children?
I wouldn't. Is it written by God. Absolutely not. Is OT a Divine Revelation? I seriously doubt it reading above story.
