I never said Abraham fathered the Islam. I said he fathered Ishmael.

The story/revelation needs to note that Christianity stays with Abraham, Isaach, David to Jesus. Islam today comes from Mohammed 500-600 years after Jesus and springs from a son born to Rachael who was put out of the tent of Abraham.

Oh dear!!! I am sure you accidently miswrote Rachel down, instead of Hagar, who was the maid of Sarah, who mothered the child Ishmael. Ishmael was not the child of promise from God, but rather a child of unbelief. Isaac was the son of promise, who was mothered by Sarah.

Rachel was the beloved wife of Jacob, who was the mother of Joseph and Benjamin.

OK, great! I guess it was the word “actually” that confused me. Glad you know that Abraham is not the father of Islam.

I see that you caught this mistake before my post. Sorry for the redundancy. Love my Rachel and wanted to set her wonderful record straight. God bless!

Islam grew out of this.

Genesis 16: 11-12

The angel of the Lord also said to her (Hagar):

“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the Lord has heard of your misery.
He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers.”

Hey...we were lucky they didn’t blame the Christians and the Jews for destroying Ur.
