7'l us lin C b risti an Dialogue52water; this became then an Islamic ritual for the annual pilgrimagein Mecca by millions of Muslims from all over the world. Thewell of water mentioned in Genesis 21:19 is stillpresent,nowcalled Zarnzarrr. Both Abraham and Ishmael; later built the holystone Ka'bah in Mecca. The spot where Abraham used to performprayers near the Ka'bah is still present, now called MaqamIbrahim, i.e. the Station of Abraham. During the days ofPilgrimage, Pilgrims in Mecca and Muslims all over the worldcommemorate the offering of Abraham and Ishmael byslaughtering cattle.m. But the Bible mentions Isaac to be sacrificed.M. No, the Islamic version states that covenant between God,Abraham and his only son Ishmael was made and sealed whenIshmael was supposed to be sacrificed. And on the same day wereAbraham, Ishmael and all men of the household circumcised whileIsaac was not even bomyet(Genesis 17:24-27): "AndAbrahamwas ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in theflesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old,when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In theselfsame day was Abraham circumcised. and Ishmael his son. Andall the men of his house, bom in the house, and bought withmoney of the stranger, were circumcised with him."A year later Isaac was bom and circumcised when he was eightdays old (Genesis 21:4-5): "And Abraham circumcised his sonIsaac being eight days old. as God had commanded him. AndAbraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was bornunto him."So when the covenant was made and sealed (circumcision andsacrifice) Abraham was ninet-v-nine and Ishmaei thirteen years old.Isaac *'as born a year later when Abraham was a hundred yearsold.
Tl uslin C brisli an Ai alogue53The descendants of Ishmael, Prophet Muhammad (PBUT),including all Muslims, remain faithfrl until today this covenant ofcircumcision. In their prayers at least five times a day the Muslimsinclude the praise of Abraham and his descendants with the praiseof Muhammad (PBUH) and his descendants.m. But in Genesis 22 it is mentioned that Isaac was to be sacrificed!M. I know it, but you will see the contradiction there. It ismentioned there "thine only son Isaac." Should it not have beenunitten "thine only son Ishmael" when Ishmael was thirteen yearsold and Isaac not born yet? When Isaac was born Abraham hadtwo sons. Because of chauvinism the name Ishmael was changedto Isaac in all of Genesis 22, but God had preserved the word"only" to show us what it should have been.The words "I will multiply thy seed" in Genesis 22:17 wasapplied earlier to Ishmael in Genesis 16:10. Was thewholeofGenesis 22 not applicable to Ishmael then? "I will make him agreat nation" had been repeated fwice for Ishmael in Genesis17:20 and Genesis 21:18, and never applied to Isaac at all.m. The Jews and Christians maintain that Isaac was suoerior toIshmael.M. That is what they say but not what the Bible states (Genesis15:4): "And, behold, the word of the Lord came rmto him(Abraham), saying, This (Eliezer of Damascus) shall not be thineheir, but that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall bethine heir." So Ishmael was also heir.Genesis 16:10: "And the angel of the Lord said unto her(Hagar), I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not benumbered for multitude."Genesis 17:20: "And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee:Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and willmake him a sreat nation."
