ISHMAEL WAS NEITHER AN ARAB NOR A MUSLIM

 

2. HISTORICAL AND FAITH-BASED EVIDENCE PROVE THAT MUHAMMAD HAS NO CONNECTION TO ISHMAEL BEYOND A FALSE CLAIM.
   ALLAH NEVER SPOKE TO ISHMAEL, NOT EVEN ONCE.
   MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN DEFENDING ISHMAEL BY USING THE BIBLE!
   THERE IS NO VERSE IN WHICH ALLAH STATES THAT ISHMAEL WAS A MUSLIM.
   IT TURNS OUT ISLAM IS A MAN-MADE RELIGION.

   Dear reader,
   Muslims have developed a tendency to cling to Ishmael and claim that he was related to Muhammad of Islam. However, when we read the books of God and history, there is no place where it is written that Ishmael, whose mother was African, had any connection to Muhammad of Islam.

   Let us read this evidence here:

   Genesis 21:14
   Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.
   15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.
   16 Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.” And as she sat there, she began to sob.
   17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
   18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
   19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
   20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer.
   21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran, his mother got a wife for him from Egypt.

   In verse 21 of Genesis Chapter 21, we learn that Ishmael’s wife came from Africa, and he was not an Arab.

   Brethren, Islam is a fabricated religion.
   It has no solid foundation and heavily relies on appropriating Christianity and Judaism.
   Islam cannot be taught without Christianity. Allah cannot exist without Jehovah. Muhammad cannot claim to be a prophet without the existence of God and Jesus.

   The Ishmael of Islam cannot be understood without Muslims stealing from and using the complete and flawless Bible.

   Furthermore, there is no evidence proving that Ishmael married a Jurhumite woman. The Holy Bible confirms that Ishmael married a woman from Egypt, Africa.

   Let us examine another piece of evidence here:

   Genesis 25:12-18
   These are the family records of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham.
   13 These are the names of Ishmael’s sons, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth (Ishmael’s firstborn), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
   14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
   15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
   16 These are Ishmael’s sons, and these are their names by their settlements and encampments: twelve leaders of their clans.
   17 This is the length of Ishmael’s life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people.
   18 They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur. He stayed near all his relatives.

   We have read that Ishmael’s descendants lived on the border of Egypt and not in the Arab or Saudi regions.

   Why, then, do Muslims cling to Ishmael?

   Muslims hold onto Ishmael to establish a connection with Abraham, who was Isaac's father. Muhammad knew that if he admitted he had no connection to Abraham, no one would follow his fabricated religion of Islam.

   ALLAH NEVER SPOKE TO ISHMAEL, NOT EVEN ONCE.
   MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN DEFENDING ISHMAEL BY USING THE BIBLE!
   THERE IS NO VERSE WHERE ALLAH SAYS ISHMAEL WAS A MUSLIM.
   THIS ONLY PROVES THAT THE QURAN IS A BOOK OF DOUBTS!

   1. There is no place in the Quran where it shows that Allah spoke to Ishmael, nor does it say that Allah made him a great nation or that he would father twelve princes!

   2. There is no place in the Bible where it shows that the late Muhammad descended from Ishmael, let alone mentioning his name!

   Since they rely on the Bible, let them tell us, between Isaac and Ishmael, who was offered by Abraham as a burnt sacrifice?
   (Genesis 22:1-18)

   Without Satan distorting the Scriptures of the Bible, Islam cannot be preached!

   ISLAM IS A DEPENDENT RELIGION.

   Now Muslims, answer the following questions:

   1. Provide historical evidence before the birth of Muhammad that Ishmael was a Muslim.

3. Explain why there is no mention of Ishmael in the Quran as having received any direct communication from Allah.

4. If Ishmael was a Muslim, why did his descendants, as mentioned in the Bible, live near Egypt and not in the Arabian Peninsula?

The burden of proof lies with Muslims who claim Ishmael was a Muslim and an ancestor of Muhammad. Until they can produce irrefutable evidence, the claim remains baseless and unsupported.

ISHMAEL AND THE FABRICATIONS ABOUT ISLAM

When we examine the origins of Islam, it becomes clear that it has heavily borrowed from Judeo-Christian traditions, selectively incorporating figures like Ishmael to establish a lineage and legitimacy. However, history and Scripture expose these claims as unfounded.

Genesis confirms that Ishmael’s lineage and geographical settlements are not connected to Arabia or the Islamic narrative.

• Ishmael married an Egyptian woman, aligning him with African descent rather than Arab ancestry.

• His descendants settled in regions bordering Egypt, not in areas traditionally associated with Islam or Muhammad’s lineage.

ISLAM'S DEPENDENCE ON CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM
Islam cannot stand independently without referencing Judeo-Christian Scriptures. Muhammad claimed to continue the legacy of previous prophets, yet his assertions lack support from historical or biblical evidence.

The Bible provides no indication of Muhammad or his alleged connection to Ishmael.
Muslims rely on distorting biblical narratives to fit their agenda. The Quran itself remains silent on many of these claims, leaving a void filled by fabricated traditions and interpretations.

CONCLUSION

Islam’s reliance on Ishmael to establish legitimacy is an attempt to create a connection with Abraham. However, neither history nor Scripture supports the idea that Ishmael was a Muslim or that Muhammad was his descendant. The fabricated claims surrounding Ishmael only highlight the dependent and derivative nature of Islam.

It is clear that Ishmael’s story, as told in the Bible, stands in stark contrast to the narrative promoted by Islam. Without credible evidence, the Muslim claim of Ishmael as a precursor to Muhammad remains a constructed myth, not historical fact.

Questions for Muslims:

• Where is the evidence that Ishmael was a Muslim before Muhammad’s birth?

• Why does the Quran lack direct statements affirming Ishmael’s Muslim identity or connection to Muhammad?

• How do you reconcile the Bible’s account of Ishmael’s lineage and settlement with Islamic claims?

These unanswered questions reveal the inconsistencies and fabrications within the Islamic narrative regarding Ishmael.
