Answer:
The Bible says that Abraham took Ishmael and his mother Hagar to "Paran". This is the first name for the valley of Mecca. In Arabic, "Faran", means "two runaways". When a caravan from Yemen came North and was near the valley of Mecca, they saw birds flying over the valley; so they decided to investigate to see if there was water there. In fact they did find water there - because of the well that sprang up at Ishmael's feet, which is another story mentioned in the Bible. But when they saw that there was a woman and her child, alone in that valley, they named it "Faran" - the two runaways.
The Land of Ishmael is the Arabian Peninsula. the promise of God to make Ishmael "a great nation" was fulfilled when, from Ishmael's descendants, came the Final Prophet, Muhammad.
