We read in the Qur'an: "Recall when Abraham's Lord tested him in certain matters and when he successfully stood the test He (God) said: 'Indeed I am going to appoint you a leader of humankind.' When Abraham asked: 'And is this covenant also for my descendants?' the Lord responded: 'My covenant does not embrace the evil doing transgressors.'" 2:124
God's covenant with Ishmael

We find God's covenant with Ishmael:

"As for Ish'mael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply exceedingly; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation" (Gen 17:20)

In Gen 12:2 God promised Abraham to make him a great nation and in Gen 17:20 God also made a similar promise to Ishmael to make him a great nation. This shows that Gods promise of making Abraham a great nation was to be realized through the descendants of Ishmael but only the righteous ones, which is the same promise appeared in the Qur'an 2:124
The fate of Bani Israel is sealed

Finally, God's decision was announced in the Bible about childern of israel

"Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you will be utterly despised.
Jesus said, "Therefore, I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it." (Matt 11:43). Evidently, Muslims fulfilled the prophecy of Jesus Christ.

I will prove the covenant of god to ishmael from the bible and the Quran.

  • @Will224000 No if you want to read about Abraham , read the Quran .

  • May Peace & Blessings of the Lord of the Universes be on you.Ameen!

  • The Law of the Muslims is the Noble Quran:(5:3) ......This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.

  • In the above verses, we first see a clear promise from Allah Almighty that He will make a "great nation" from Ishmael's descendents. We then see the definition of "great nation" as being a nation that directly receives a Law from GOD ,,,.This is all great and agreeing with Islam. Let us look at what Allah Almighty said about the Jewish Law in the Noble Quran:"It was We who revealed the LAW(to Moses): therein was GUIDANCE and LIGHT.

  • "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 17:20)"

  • allah hu akbar , indeed nice work , and br natrother ayamen , there is a verse in the bible which says ,---What other NATION IS SO GREAT as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him? And what other nation is so great as TO HAVE SUCH RIGHTEOUS DECREES AND LAWS as this body of laws I am setting before you today? (From the NIV Bible,Deuteronomy 4:7-8)" --

  • ahhh nice work:)

  • Good video brother. But one can also easily translate it as

    "but my covenant I will establish (it) with Isaac when Sarah begets (him) for you to an appointed time here next year."

    It is clear that the covenant is with Ishmael and also with Isaac, no matter how you translate the verse.

    Salam.
