What do you mean hijacked? Mohammed was a violent warlord and he is the seen as the perfect example for all muslims. Perfect causality. Has nothing to do with "being corrupted", moslems are just following their example.

[@steadfastway1897]

So who named the 3 capital cities of Darussalam (meaning Home of Peace) if it wasn't muslims? and who named Manella (=Amanu Allah the place Allah made tranquil& safe) if it wasn't muslims worshipping Allah)? who can forgive at the exact time of deserved revenge like the Mercy to humanity Prophet Muhammed all those thousands left behind in the city of Makkah when he returned to it after what they did to him earlier? only his students could, when they forgave 200,000 crusaders their self admitted rape& pillage, at the very time anyone else would have raked the worse revenge, but not those who have the mercy of Allah. If you don't believe it, then check out the crusader progeny still living among muslim majority communities with their tall churches still standing! Is it a surprise that muslims build the worlds first universities to which everyone was welcome and you may find the statue of Ibn Rushd in main town square of Seville as an evidence of that today, and is it a surprise when find the pictures of wealthy Jewish families who were at the top of the islamic caliphate trade in Topkapi museum? You see, not everyone who talks the talk of love& peace can walk the walk to show us even one village names like muslims can. travel& marvel, read, open your mind& broaden your horizons a little. May you get the chance to go to paradise, amen

[@Humanaut.]

@@steadfastway1897 your post is either disingenuous or uneducated. Many nice words yes. What I often find when I talk to Muslims is that their POV suffers from a severe case of whitewashing and cherry picking and basically relies on their counterpart not knowing history / being uneducated. Muslims like to tell themselves how great they were and how nice everything was under Muslim rule. Reality has both examples of tolerance as well as persecution, intolerance, pogroms, and maltreatment of other people's, forced sexual slavery and many other gruesome things. The first university in the world also wasn't in the Muslim world but in India(Takshila in Gandhar) even before the time of Jesus' birth. Islam is a religion that was spread offensively by Mohammed via brutal unprovoked conquest by the sword. It sanctified the killing of innocents (in one Instant Mohammed beheaded every boy above 12 in a village of 900 that he had already captured). It sanctifies taking the women of whole families that had just been killed moments before as sex slaves. (19 Million dead from Islamic slave trade, that's more than died from western slave trade. Islam also practiced slavery for longer, meaning starting before the west and ending it 100 years after the west) Islam sanctifies killing of people just because they don't believe in an idea. Mohammed didn't mind torturing a Jewish treasure master to find out where the money of the town that he was safeguarding was hidden - a fire was lit on his chest. Usually - despite all of the flowery words - as soon as you take a closer look the Islamic narrative falls apart.

When Torah scribes wanted to edit the sacrifice story, they needed to have Ishmael cast out with his mother, by the prophet friend of God to die alone in desert. (Does anyone of us do that to our enemies even?) Abraham puts the child on Hagars shoulder with the supplies (impossible). Later Hagar needs to hide him in the bushes whilest awaiting his death (impossible) Throughout all this, the child has no opinion to say (almost impossible).

That's because the unlikely reason for this cruel racist expulsion is mocking his little brother Isaac after Isaac was weaned off. Is this what responsible fathers do in response to siblings rivalry? If you realy believed in your Torah part of bible, why didn't you open and read it instead of blind belief in what others told you the book says? why didn't see these obvious editing mistakes leaving many holes in the impossible& unlikey jewish heritage story? Do you understand there's no test nor a sacrifice for Isaac to be taken to the slaughter, why it was some one else instead of Isaac if Gen 17:17& 17:19 promise from God before birth of Isaac to make multitudes& kings from his off-spring? The son Abraham had for 14 yrs -Ishmael - the one whom the promise of God is always with as your first born even if you hated his mother according to Deut 21:15, was the real test of sacrifice for Abraham to take to the slaughter when he never expected to be granted another son at his grand old age of 100. if you never opened your scripture to find all of that, is it our fault they didn't teach you at Sunday school anthing apart from what is a forgery?

You claim that Ismail, peace be upon him, was arrogant and selfish, how dare you? This is not new to you. You distinguished between the sons of Abraham, peace be upon him, and preferred Isaac over Ishmael. Both are messengers of God. How can you call a messenger arrogant and selfish? This is your style and approach from the beginning. The method of racial discrimination. You separated the sons of Abraham. You separated between the angels of God, Gabriel, and Michael, and you separated between His messengers and killed them. You did not recognize Jesus, so how can you recognize Muhammad, peace be upon them both? As for us, we believe in God, His angels, and His messengers, and we do not differentiate between them. We believed in Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the tribes, David, Solomon, Moses, his brother Aaron, Zechariah, his son Yahya, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them all. They are all God's messengers and prophets. God sent them to show people the path of truth.

You are being biased due to cultural influences. Ishmael has traditionally symbolized a lack of faith and worldly desires, while entry into Abraham's covenant is solely through Jesus. No matter how loudly one argues that something is black when it's actually red, the truth remains unchanged. The Gentile world may perceive unfairness, but it's essential to humble ourselves. Only the humble, pure in heart, and seekers of truth can truly perceive God.

Some key points I feel need to be mentioned: 1. Ishmael was shielding by an angel of the Lord 2. Ishmael settled on a mountain and built a city there as well as a few others nearby later. 3. Ishmael had several children whom of the sons would continue to build cities in the area until Joshua would come with the Children of Israel during the Exodus at the end of the 40 years when Moses had died and they had entered into Canaan's land. 4. Ishmael's daughter Mahalath married and became the third wife of Esau son of Isaac, Ishmael's brother. 5. Esau was told by his mother and father to not marry of the women of the land but to go back to Rebecca's family to find a wife. He rebelled and like Ishmael took wives of whomever he pleased. 6. When Noah's genealogies are revealed in Genesis 10 his son's children migrate with Ham's children going into Africa and part of Canaan and what is now the Middle East. Shem's descendants were also in the Middle East more centrally located and Japheth's traveled north. All the different tribes that existed and were mentioned in the Bible during the time of Abraham down to the Kingdom of David were descendants of Ham and some were intermingled with the children of Shem. 7. The Bible says the Tower of Babel (the city built by Nimrod) story happened around the time of Peleg who lived just prior to the birth of Abram but during the lifetime of Terah. who was his Great Great grandson. Terah had two other sons one of which was named Haran and when they had gone up out of the land of Ur of the Chaldees toward Canaan they came to a land called Haran whether it was after his son or his son's name was after the land the Bible doesn't say but most likely just as we do today children are named after relatives we have affection for and back then the land was named based on who had been the patriarch who settled there originally so it could be that Haran was named after another Haran that the land was also named for. The point is during the Tower of Babel story God changed men and confounded their speech and this is the part most miss, scattered them across all the earth. Not over a little portion of the Middle East and Africa but over all the Earth., Terah had taken his son Abram, his daughter whom Abram had married Sarai and Lot who was the son of his deceased son Haran, leaving his other son and his family in Ur and trekked toward Canaan because God had told Terah not Abram at first to do so. 8. Esau's blessing: After Esau sold his birthright, he returned late from preparing his father savory meat only to find that his mother and brother had stolen his blessing. Isaac who was blind blessed his son Esau after Esau begged him and this is that blessing: Genesis 27:39-40 39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. This is Isaac's blessing intended for Esau given to Jacob: Genesis 27:28-29 28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. The reason I said all that is because there were people there very early on after the flood and from those people are some of the lineage of Canaan/Middle East. After the flood the Tower of Babel happened and God changed people not only their speech but their ethnicities and scattered them across the entire earth. After that Abraham had two sons one of which took wives from the tribes of Canaan's land and the other who had two sons of his own which one took wives of the tribes of Canaan's land including that of his uncle's house of whom had done the same and the other who married into his mother's house. If Abraham was the first recognized Jew or perhaps his father Terah who died in Haran then Jacob is the other end of that Patriarchy this being why God is called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. These people will continue to war with one another till the end of time and sadly they are related and both recognize Abraham as their beginnings. Also the Bible says Ishmael was mocking Isaac who had just weaned during a feast Abraham had made to celebrate Isaac's eating food and not suckling his mother.

No - he does not, in fact he made a movie saying it was just ' cleansing.' I reported you Rabbi, I cannot believe that you could say such words and still be online. He is giving false teaching. God gave the promised land to Abraham's descendants, All of them. Both Muslim and Jewish. Both. That land went from the sea to the river, it includes Iraq, Syria, Lebanon ,Libya and parts of Egypt. Abraham sent Ishmale and his mother away giving them only a skin of water. Ishmale was dying in the desert, his mother called out to God and God felt compassion for her and Ishmale, he sent an angle to bring her water and to let her know that God had not forgotten about her or her son - and that he, Ishmale would be a great Nation. And this Rabbi knows this. And yet ? He talks about the great kindness of Abraham - and considers that only Jewish people have that and yet we all know, that if Abraham were to be here today looking upon the unending suffering of the men women and children of Gaza, also his own descendants, I think we all know that he would call for an immediate ceasefire and strongly encourage peace talks to avoid this so called cleansing. All that we can do is to pray to God that he sends Jesus soon.

When Torah scribes wanted to edit the sacrifice story, they needed to have Ishmael cast out with his mother, by the prophet friend of God to die alone in desert. (Does anyone of us do that to our enemies even?) Abraham puts the child on Hagars shoulder with the supplies (impossible). Later Hagar needs to hide him in the bushes whilest awaiting his death (impossible) Throughout all this, the child has no opinion to say (almost impossible). Do the readers of Genesis realise that the child in discussion here is 17yrs old, or 16 at the earliest? That's because the unlikely reason for this cruel racist expulsion is mocking his little brother Isaac after Isaac was weaned off. Is this what responsible fathers do in response to siblings rivalry? If you realy believed in your Torah part of bible, why didn't you open and read it instead of blind belief in what others told you the book says? why didn't see these obvious editing mistakes leaving many holes in the impossible& unlikey jewish heritage story? Do you understand there's no test nor a sacrifice for Isaac to be taken to the slaughter, why it was some one else instead of Isaac if Gen 17:17& 17:19 promise from God before birth of Isaac to make multitudes& kings from his off-spring? The son Abraham had for 14 yrs -Ishmael - the one whom the promise of God is always with as your first born even if you hated his mother according to Deut 21:15, was the real test of sacrifice for Abraham to take to the slaughter when he never expected to be granted another son at his grand old age of 100. if you never opened your scripture to find all of that, is it our fault they didn't teach you at Sunday school anthing apart from what is a forgery?

You see it from a Koran perspective. You used Bible verse, explaining those WITHOUT mentioning Hagar, the mother of Ismael, who was who? 1) It's positioning, man. Even Islam applies this, right? Second wife / concubine /whatever the term... So why you get upset? 2) You didn't mention Gen 17:20. You partially mention the other party. Why? God gave his blessings to Ishmael too. 3) But it is God's prerogative to choose. Gen 17:19 & 21. Because of what? Because God initially did make a deal with Abraham with his wife . He didn't intent to make a deal with handmaid. Are you jealous? 😂

First I think it is important to clarify that Prophet Ibrahim was a person who worship only God despite his people been polytheistic. He was neither a Jew nor a Christian as these were not in existence at the time given that paganism and other practices were in existence. Judaism came with Prophet Musa and Christianism with Prophet Isa ( Jesus son of Maryam) . Prophet Ismail was the first son (the sacrificed one) of Prophet Ibrahim with his second wife Hagar a servant. Ismail was also a Prophet and a Messenger. Prophet Ibrahim as mentioned in The Torah as well as in The Bible is mentioned was to sacrifice his first son who was Prophet Ismail who was born when Prophet Ibrahim was 86 years old. Prophet Ibrahim migrated with his wife Hagar and infant son Ismail to the mountains of Faran, around Makkah and left them there because his first wife Sarah was becoming jealous (an understandable feeling given her inability of having children until that moment). God praised Prophet Ismail and described him as a patient, forbearing, and truthful in fulfilling his promises. He was constant in his prayers, enjoyed these to his family and called people to worship one God. When Prophet Ibrahim told Prophet Ismail, who at the time was old enough to help his father in his work, that he seen in a dream that he was offering him in sacrifice, Prophet Ismail said: “o my father! Do as you are commanded, you will find me, God willing, one of the patient.” He submitted to God’s will in this way both Prophet Ibrahim, and Prophet Ismail show to God their submission, and obedience to Him. Prophet Isaac was born when Prophet Ibrahim passed the age of hundred. Both Prophets, Ismail and Isaac love each other very much. Both sons of a Prophet and among both half brothers, Prophet Ismail, and Prophet Isaac, descended generations of Prophets. Arabs are descend from Prophet Ismail and Jews and Christians from Prophet Isaac. Therefore all of them come from the same root and are decedents of these two half brothers. I think all Prophets have been special humans chosen by God to guide humanity, therefore they deserve our respect as they brought us with God permission true guidance as a mercy from God to humanity and His all his creatures. Now we have to understand we humans are weak and will use religion for their own personal or groups convenience without reflecting on the serious impact it will have in humanity. All Prophets were good, obedient, submissive to God and they also guide and taught the People they were sent to, what God had ordered them to . It does not make sense that God Who care and is merciful to humans and all His creature will send Prophets to misguide and corrupt on earth. Finally, like in every subject it is important to acquire reliable information from all different perspective to find trustful knowledge.

[@1104rakhmat]

This looks like all have been programed, several Rabbis mentioned this story. This is like framing the situation and blaming to Ishmael descendants, the root is that Ismael is portrayed as a'wild' person which should leads the audience to think that he had bad behavior, lack of manners and perhaps immoral. In Islam, Ishmael is praised for being patient, good, and righteous. A particular example which describes Ishmael individually is "And call to mind, through this divine writ, Ishmael. Behold, he was always true to his promise, and was an apostle [of God], a prophet, who used to enjoin upon his people prayer and charity, and found favour in his Sustainer's sight". There's something is wrong here, it's difficult to imagine people have a patient and yet wild in the same time. As Muslim, I believe in what our teaching have. Therefore, if you're trying to frame Muslims as being wild because of their ancestors is wild also, you're wrong, because that's what you believe but not what we believe. Again, this is not the first time i mentioned in your channel, stop playing with god's words. You cannot find a good justifications for what your government doing now from your torah, even they are not obeying the 'thou shalt not kill', making false statements about Hamas beheaded babies, they are all lies and you know it. But yet you act like you're the chosen one preaching about peace. Remember, God never absent watching, your life is in His hands, you know that, of course you know. If you want peace, preach peace, peace truth, not cherry picking of what suitable for your need only.

[@LegitDreamer96]

How did Hagar sense a newborn baby is going to influence her teenage son negatively? Many Bible scholars also mentioned that Ismael was not a wild man against his brothers, rather that verse has been changed to mean that. The truth is, God in order to fulfill his promise to Abraham sent Ismael and his mother to paran to build the kaaba in the valley of baka,which is also mentioned in the bible(Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs;) the spring God gave hagar and Ismail is in modern makkah where we also do hagg like Moses did when he went midian to commomerate that day when God gave Abraham the lamb to slaughter instead of his son. 1 Samuel 15:3-Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass, Hosea 13:16 - Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. this is what your Torah mentions directly from 'God' apparently, not the Quran and there is many more,let us see what the Quran says not sayid qutb nor Hamas,or any Tom dick and harry. there is no such verses in the entire Quran we actually have the opposite God mentions this verse when Cain killed abel On account of [his deed], We decreed to the Children of Israel that if anyone kills a person- unless in retribution for murder or spreading corruption in the land- it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. Our messengers came to them with clear signs, but many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

The very same thing happen here in Algerian and Arab families where we see that after marriage, a husband must go away with his wife and rent a new house, otherwise problems would arise between his wife/children and his mother/sisters. What you have mentioned showcase the situation of a new couple getting married and if they stay at the house the husband's family, there would be a lot of problems. We see this happening in our community. And I think that the story of Ishmael and his mother Hagar was mentioned in the bible to teach us how to solve family problems...

[@rutbrea8796]

Hagar later on changed her name and returned to Abraham after Sarah passed away! She converted to the religion of Abraham which is the religion the Jewish people follow today.

[@NikeNik]

I think it’s a story about how we should trust God when He promises something, to have faith in God and the impossible and have patience and wait in Gods time. See what happens when we get impatient and try to do things ourselves instead, thing get messed up.

Out of our love to God, muslims love all of His prophets equally Ishmael& Isaac PBU them both. But if others insist on denigrating one of Abrahams sons, then Islam challanges all bible believers by correcting the bible edited sacrifice story. If you believe in bible, this is a challenge for you from bible itself: Since his parents were promised by God before the birth of Isaac that he shall be multiplied& kings from his off spring according to Genesis 17:17& 17:19, then were is the sacrifice or any test at all in Abraham taking Isaac to the slaughter, when he already knew Isaac shall live to make him grandchildren? We know you cannot answer this obvious forgery by the scribes in what used to be holy scripture, changing the name of Abrahams only son for 14 yrs as the logical sacrifice son, as per the Torah principle in Gods promise being always with your eldest son even if you hated his mother for those who married 2 wives according to Deut 21:15. The Noble Quran not only corrects that bible corruption, the Noble Quran brings back what was deleted from bible: The belief in the concept of an afterlife- totally eliminated from the Jewish bible (1st five books). May be these people don't want to return to see God! To know God is to love Him and want to go back to God& meet Him in the afterlife- enter His house- paradise What's worse for christianity in particular, is that the writer of NT Hebrews 11:17 links the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to that of his father Isaac, which is a forgery. Hence Jesus was never crucified. Therefore, read the Book of God, the Noble Quran instead of corrupted books men who don't want to meet God messed with& took out the belief in the afterlife from it, that bible leads not to God but to loss for eternity, sadly

Sir, you left one important fact out and that is Sarah did not have to whip Abraham to get him in that tent with Hagar 😮

[@ammasophia4663]

Sarah was a strong dominating woman, Hagar was softer and soothing to Abraham. I suspect Sarah hoped she would have control of the baby but instead Abraham protected the child from separation from his mother. Sarah preferred to have no child rather than to give up her place as mother of nations. Sending the mother and child into the desert is much like the story of Josephs brothers selling him to traders in the desert instead of killing him. We don't think well of the brothers.

[@esbonbon6653]

Hagar the servant mostly is greedy for the wealthy of abraham,she wants to be like sara the mistress just because carring the child of her master,yes sara did was wrong because she gave the servant to her husband but the servant disrespect her as a legal wife of abraham

[@ammasophia4663]

The book of Genesis was written at the time of Moses, collapsing history to fit the purposes of a people who had left Egypt. We simply don't have the nuanced perspective. Many people left Ur in Sumarian city state of Mesopotamia because the priesthood was corrupt. It was more like when the Jews left Egypt with caravans of people all setting out to leave civilisation in order to create a new kingdom. A corrupt priesthood was also dominant at the time of Jesus. Perhaps a thousand years passed between the stories of Genesis before the time of Moses. Sarah wanted to be the mother of the nation, and manipulated Abraham, and it is her perspective that is obviously endorsed. If Sarah hadn't sent Hagar and the baby to die, who knows what the ancient story might have been. Hagar and Ishmael lived, despite the plan for them to perish. Genesis begins with tragedy as God is disobeyed by Adam and Eve, and then the competition of the two brothers results in murder. Who is "good"? No one. Once again with Abraham choosing to have 2 sons, and the competition of two brother divides history. Two Brothers who vie for the inheritance of everything, is the story of the entire book of Genesis as they will betray and kill each other to rule the world. Who wants to rule the world now? There are a handful of powerful families who want everything and will destroy the world to gain power. Oddly we focus on the fight for land when those who want to control the entire earth are families whose names we don't know. Most likely the name of one of those families is Rothschild, Jewish and the other is Muslim. That is the real war, and the rest of us are dispensable. @@esbonbon6653

Hajar was a princess of Egypt, but racism even against prophet Abraham & his household got into what Torah scribes did on rewritting after complete scripture loss during exile When Torah scribes wanted to edit the sacrifice story, they needed to have Ishmael cast out with his mother, by the prophet friend of God to die alone in desert. (Does anyone of us do that to our enemies even?) Abraham puts the child on Hagars shoulder with the supplies (impossible). Later Hagar needs to hide him in the bushes whilest awaiting his death (impossible) Throughout all this, the child has no opinion to say (almost impossible). Do the readers of Genesis realise that the child in discussion here is 17yrs old, or 16 at the earliest? That's because the unlikely reason for this cruel racist expulsion is mocking his little brother Isaac after Isaac was weaned off. Is this what responsible fathers do in response to siblings rivalry? If you realy believed in your Torah part of bible, why didn't you open and read it instead of blind belief in what others told you the book says? why didn't see these obvious editing mistakes leaving many holes in the impossible& unlikey jewish heritage story? Do you understand there's no test nor a sacrifice for Isaac to be taken to the slaughter, why it was some one else instead of Isaac if Gen 17:17& 17:19 promise from God before birth of Isaac to make multitudes& kings from his off-spring? The son Abraham had for 14 yrs -Ishmael - the one whom the promise of God is always with as your first born even if you hated his mother according to Deut 21:15, was the real test of sacrifice for Abraham to take to the slaughter when he never expected to be granted another son at his grand old age of 100. if you never opened your scripture to find all of that, is it our fault they didn't teach you at Sunday school anthing apart from what is a forgery?

[@ahmadelsayed8672]

Simply GOD could just promised the land straight to isaac or Jacob and excluded Ismael to make it clear to all mankind but that's not what happened! You respectfully said that GOD promised the land to the children of Ebrahim and Ismail was the first son, but based on your assumption the God listened to Sarah's jealousness and kicked out Hager and her son? Wow that a unfair GOD!

[@erajon7332]

Sounds like Sara mistreated her servant and used her to keep her husband and than tried to throw her away.

[@esbonbon6653]

Whaat???hagar the servant disrespect her mistress because she can not bear a child,she overproud about her ability carring a child of her master because sara gave her to her husband first yes this is her mistake of course but she didn't think her servant behavior would hurt her dignity as a legal wife

Ishmael grew up in the deserts and his mom probably told him how "that Sarah" kicked them out. Then he became wild. But Sarah was chosen of God to be the mother of His chosen people. From that day, Ishmael would forever become radical until the savior comes. Thank God Jesus came so that all of us..even we that had nothing to do with Abraham can become His children.

Jesus taught islamic creed, if you looked carefully at what remains of his words from your bible. John 20:17: “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." There fore, only one God who is not Jesus, and this God has no literal son, both are basic essential islamic creed. Matthew 4:10: "You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve." The Only one worthy of Worship is God, this is Half the Islamic article of faith. Matt. 24:35-37: Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." If Jesus is God, then why did He not know the time of His return? This is in keeping with Islamic monothiestic Creed of affirming to God all His beautiful attributes: The All Knowing (AlAaleem), The All Loving (Alwadood), The All..... Salvation via repentence (Mark 4:17) also repeated again in the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11). And keeping the law - I think you've already elluded to that. Note: Repentence directly negates the christian belief of God dying on the cross for salvation. 5- Advised peope to follow the Prophet Muhammed PBUH to be guided to all trurhs (John 16:12-14). If the above isn't quentessential Islamic faith teaching, then what is islamic?

There is one book that catalogued very much the story of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob Esau and others that people don't make much reference to. And that book seem to predate the Tora and the Bible. In fact A closer look seem to suggest Moses had that book when he was writing the Tora. The book is called the book of Jasher or the book of the Uprights. That book gives full details how Hagar, Ishmael's mother came to become the maid of Sarah and how she fell out eventually with Sarah. And why Ishmael who was about 16 years of age then was sent out of the house of Abraham with his mother. The book also explains why the children of Esau don't lay claim to the land of present day Israel, even as that land is the burial place of their great, great great grandparents and why only the children of Jacob does so today. It also explains to some extent who Melchizedek, the king of Salem was. Shem the first son of Noah.

Out of our love to God, muslims love all of His prophets equally Ishmael& Isaac PBU them both. But if others insist on denigrating one of Abrahams sons, then Islam challanges all bible believers by correcting the bible edited sacrifice story. If you believe in bible, this is a challenge for you from bible itself: Since his parents were promised by God before the birth of Isaac that he shall be multiplied& kings from his off spring according to Genesis 17:17& 17:19, then were is the sacrifice or any test at all in Abraham taking Isaac to the slaughter, when he already knew Isaac shall live to make him grandchildren? We know you cannot answer this obvious forgery by the scribes in what used to be holy scripture, changing the name of Abrahams only son for 14 yrs as the logical sacrifice son, as per the Torah principle in Gods promise being always with your eldest son even if you hated his mother for those who married 2 wives according to Deut 21:15. The Noble Quran not only corrects that bible corruption, the Noble Quran brings back what was deleted from bible: The belief in the concept of an afterlife- totally eliminated from the Jewish bible (1st five books). May be these people don't want to return to see God! To know God is to love Him and want to go back to God& meet Him in the afterlife- enter His house- paradise What's worse for christianity in particular, is that the writer of NT Hebrews 11:17 links the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to that of his father Isaac, which is a forgery. Hence Jesus was never crucified. Therefore, read the Book of God, the Noble Quran instead of corrupted books men who don't want to meet God messed with& took out the belief in the afterlife from it, that bible leads not to God but to loss for eternity, sadly

@@steadfastway1897 I love Muslims and all humans, I've read the Quran and I find its words abhorrent to rational thought and does not represent any sort of deity I would or could relate to in anyway. The Infinite light of the Infinite divine and the hope and love it contains goes infinitely beyond the darkness of the ideology that that book proclaims. Women are not less than men, no humans should be slaves or spoils of war, no one should be oppressed or beaten for not following that book. The other religions already grew out of their dark age, maybe Islam can too with out destroying everything it touches because some human thinks it goes against whatever. The world needs to stop pandering, this has nothing to do with RACE this has to do with ideas nothing more.

[@QabilAGhor]

In Genesis 17, with the Covenant of Circumcision, God tells Abraham that Sarah will have a son. Abraham was very surprised and ‘”laughed to himself.” He must have told Sarah what the Lord told him. After all, you need a woman to have a child with. But then in Genesis 18, we find the story of the Three Visitors: ‘Then the LORD said, ‘I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.’ Sarah reacts as if she is hearing this prediction for the first time. Both these stories cannot be true at the same time. If God had already told Abraham at the Covenant of Circumcision that he would have Isaac, what was the point in sending three angels to make the same prediction again? Most likely, Isaac was not the son in Covenant of Circumcision, but after the Babylonian Captivity when Torah was rewritten from memory, Jewish scribes must have added few verses (Genesis 17:15-22) to shift the focus on Isaac and made him the protagonist. If you skip these verses and jump from Genesis 17:14 to Genesis 17:23, there is perfect continuity in the text, otherwise there isn’t.

Instead of condonig the callous coward occupation thugs, you ought to thank muslims but we don't expect gratitude from you, the Just Maker is watching. what muslims do is protect jews& gave them shelter when no one else did. What the mosad did is tell you lies& attack jewish families living in peace to force mass migration to the occupied Palestine. Jews throughout history got the safety& protection to reach the pinnacle of muslim universities in muslim spain& other muslim lands. Travel& marvel to discover and see, the statue of bin rushd at town square in Seville as an evidence. Travel to Top Kapi museum and see the photos of jewish families at top of many trades in the heart of Islamic khalifate mid 19th century, next to photos of the Sultan as no one but jews could afford such luxury. If you were raised properly, you'll thank the muslims for the unique help, assistence, respect& protection from European onslaught.

When Torah scribes wanted to edit the sacrifice story, they needed to have Ishmael cast out with his mother, by the prophet friend of God to die alone in desert. (Does anyone of us do that to our enemies even?) Abraham puts the child on Hagars shoulder with the supplies (impossible). Later Hagar needs to hide him in the bushes whilest awaiting his death (impossible) Throughout all this, the child has no opinion to say (almost impossible). Do the readers of Genesis realise that the child in discussion here is 17yrs old, or 16 at the earliest? That's because the unlikely reason for this cruel racist expulsion is mocking his little brother Isaac after Isaac was weaned off. Is this what responsible fathers do in response to siblings rivalry? If you realy believed in your Torah part of bible, why didn't you open and read it instead of blind belief in what others told you the book says? why didn't see these obvious editing mistakes leaving many holes in the impossible& unlikey jewish heritage story? Do you understand there's no test nor a sacrifice for Isaac to be taken to the slaughter, why it was some one else instead of Isaac if Gen 17:17& 17:19 promise from God before birth of Isaac to make multitudes& kings from his off-spring? The son Abraham had for 14 yrs -Ishmael - the one whom the promise of God is always with as your first born even if you hated his mother according to Deut 21:15, was the real test of sacrifice for Abraham to take to the slaughter when he never expected to be granted another son at his grand old age of 100. if you never opened your scripture to find all of that, is it our fault they didn't teach you at Sunday school anthing apart from what is a forgery?

[@edwardpopescu4182]

Why don't you go with the story before Abraham time? Why don't you go with the story back to Noah and his children? Why not follow their genealogical line, because from Ham who was one of Noah's children, Canaan was born, which ended up living in what is called the Land of Canaan, and why don't we also say about Shem, Noah's son, from which later is Abraham born? If God decides a new beginning after Noah's flood, why did he allow the evil to continue through Ham, and the fact that Noah cursed his grandson Canaan. Why do we not know how Abraham came to live in Ur? And how is it that God is revealed to Avraham when in fact it is known that the idea of one God was transmitted from Adam through Seth, Enoch, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob up to Moses and then to David and Solomon through the book of Angel Raziel? Why is the genealogical line of Abraham's mother hidden? We only know that Terah was the father of Abraham and Sarah, but that they were half-brothers, having different mothers, but we don't know who Terah's two wives were, because it would be interesting to see their genealogical line. And if Abraham creates a new ideology of one God, why is it said that through Abraham was the beginning of this ideology when in fact the knowledge about these things was taught and transmited to him? How is it that Abraham is the first to be called a Jew, but not Noah, but not Shem, but not Seth, but not Enoch who shared the idea of a single and unique God that later Abraham taught to those around him ? And why does God have to promise him a land, a geographical place, when according to Kabbalistic teaching, these things represent spiritual actions and should not be taken in a literary sense? And yet God promises Abraham a land that was already inhabited by Canaan, who was the grandson of Noah, and from which ultimately Abraham himself is born through the genealogical line of Shem son of Noah? And why is it not said that these two forces, negative and positive, which are shown in all spiritual events, must be united? These things needs to be clarified so all the people could understand clearly . Because it all goes back to the begining not just back to Abraham . Could you explain us all these things ? Thank you

[@sarasalem3280]

Good Day Rabbi, Sari did what she could handle, that does not give the right for anyone to occupy the other. Issac was raised different- obviously with love, respect, and discipline. Although, Ismael’s blood line has the same right as Issac’s to live in the Holy Land. Nor Abram or Sari - will look upon what is happening now in the Holy Land as acceptable. Until we all learn that the forces that control this theater have nothing to do with the people. Then we will crack the code. May HaShem prevail to bring in love, peace, and fairness to all his children.

The Muslim says that Abraham offered to God his first born son Ishmael, The Jew says it Abraham offered to God his only son Issac, The Christian says God offered his only begotten son to humanity. and that gives you the right to become children of God, (which is not of blood but of the Spirit of God).

TEARS OF WAR 2023!! Tears are the raindrops of the soul And there's one for all who die. They are the silent words of grief As they fall free from the eye. The shortest verse in the Bible Is the one where Jesus wept So, if you hold back tears, shed them When your pain is too harsh to accept. Tears are lovelier than a smile When they come from those you love As they seek relief from sadness When you're summoned from above. Tears are a love-mates humble gift When it's time to say goodbye Though the eyes are wet and swollen With time and patience they dry. War tends to punish the punishers So the losers won't suffer alone. The essence of war is but genocide Till the survivors come crying home.

Interesting, vastly different from Islam point of view of the story of Abraham AS. Its amusing to see that Judaism/Bible puts Ishmael in a negative light as if he was banished for his bad behaviour. In islam, Ishmael and Isaac were both prophet so they were "maksum" or free from sins. Also, in Islam, Hajar and Ishmael was sent to a different land when Ishmael was still a baby. Thats where the story of Zamzam water came about. So there is no issue of Ishmael influencing Isaac in any way.
