Question: What is the story of Isaac and Ishmael?
Both sons of Abram/Abraham.
Ishmael, claimed by Islam as the rightful heir to Abram’s descent and born of Sarah’s handmaid Hagar.
Isaac, son of Promise to Abram and Sarah, and God’s Covenant fixed through him. Abram’s name changed to Abraham, after the birth (means father of many nations).
Ishmael is much loved by God, and “twelve nations will proceed from him”.
Isaac’s blessing is also Israel’s future; which will eventually be “a Kingdom of Priests unto God”.
