Who was Abraham the prophet?
According to Judaism and Christianity, Abraham was the first of the Old Testament patriarchs and the father of Isaac; according to Genesis, God promised to give Abraham's family (the Hebrews/the Israelites) the land of Canaan (the Promised Land); Israelites were the ethnic group claiming descent from Abraham and Isaac (especially from Isaac's son Jacob).According to the Holy Qur’an and Islam, Abraham was just another prophet sent by Allah like prophet Adam and Noah. Abraham was a Muslim like his predecessors.“Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah ]. And he was not of the polytheists.” - (The Holy Qur’an 3:67)
Why moroccan king claimed to be a descendant from prophet muhammad ?
Kings have always claimed to be descended from legendary figures. In ancient Egypt the kings were all descended from Horus. In Greece they were descended from Jupiter. (And they specifically meant the planet, not a bearded man who lived in the sky.) Here is a scientific investigation of ancient myths and legends, considering stories in hundreds of languages from all over the world and going back to 10,500 BC. It is very long, and it is still in progress. http://saturniancosmology.org/
Since prophet Abraham was born in Mesopatamian Iraq does that mean that all Jews are Iraqi (in their genes)?
yes all come from abraham through his son issac or his son ishmael
Are muslims really the descendants of Hagar - ie , Sarah's (Abraham's wife's) maidservant?
i always heard people telling that muslims are descendants of Abraham thru Hagar. ie the descendants of Ishmael. is this true? any particular reasons? Muslims are not mentioned in the Bible. then how do they say that?
Why are almost all prophets of Abrahamic religions from the descendants of Isaac rather from the descendants of Ishmael (except Muhammed as Muslims claim)?
Prophet Ibrahim was known as the friend of Allah sbt. Prophet Ibrahim was the son of a idol worshipper and idol maker. Ibrahim father constructed statues for worship. Now you asked why Isaac was a prophet and not Ishmael well let's look at history shall we. First our very first prophet Adam the father of mankind had multiple children including Cain and Abil everyone knows what happened with those two. Cain was the first murderer in this world. Cain took the life of his brother. Both had the same parents, both had the same upbringing so what makes them different? Faith. Faith is something not taught but felt not purchased but given. God of course sees what manKind can not which is what everyone hides inside their heart. Now back to Ibrahim his son Isaac loved and cherished his father Ibrahim and was also a God fearing man. We the people did not choose these people to be messengers of God or prophets only God chose who would carry on and deliver his message. Now all descendants of Isaac were blessed with these gifts. So we're the children on Noah. Remember most prophets were Shepherds. Why would God choose them?? Who knows but in my opinion shepherds are the best of mankind because they care and tend to their flock of animals everyday of their lives. Realising every animal just like humans have their own personality and ego. I leave you with this don't ask questions of why would God instead give thanks and praise to God for everything you see everyday. Whether good or bad remember those who God loves most he will test the most.
Who was the 1st born of Prophet Abraham, Isaac or Ishmael?
Ishmael was born first, but he did not receive the birthright. The same thing is true about Joseph, the son of Jacob (Israel). He received the birthright, even though he was the next to the youngest. That said, I've always wondered why Judah got the choicest land while Joseph didn't, for Judah received the land until the coming of Shilo (or the Messiah). This has a dual fulfillment. The first time the Messiah came the Jews rejected him and were scattered to the nations of the earth. The second time he comes to the earth, he will descend onto the Mount of Olives, which will cleave in twain, creating a valley into which the Jews will flee. There they will see the wounds in his hands and feet and it will dawn on them who he is, leading the Jews to go into mourning. So we see the dual fulfillment.Unfortunately for “the one true religion” of Islam, Allah will side with the Jews in that war (see Ezekiel 38–39, Zechariah 12, 14 and Revelation 11) and will destroy its Muslim invaders, save a sixth part who will be spared. After the victory of the Jews, Zechariah writes that the Muslim nations will then be required to come to Jerusalem and celebrate the feast of the tabernacles with their former enemies. And if those nations refuse (Egypt is mentioned specifically), then the Lord will smite them with plague and famine until they comply.This will once and for all settle who got the birthright and when.
