Hagar was Abrahams slave.And she was the mother of Ishmael.
The son of his slave was named Ishmael.
Ishmael.
The handmaid's name was Hagar. She was Sarah's servant, and Abraham had a child with her named Ishmael in order to fulfill God's promise of descendants.
"I" stance for Ellah or Illah the Arabic word for Allah (GOD) "sh" it means hear. I am not a linguist but I have studied Arabic, Persian and English. The meaning of the name Ishmael means God hear. Apparently this was for the crying of Ibrahim asking God to give him a son. This name was chosen by God.
We are told of two wives of Abraham. His first wife was Sarah of whom was born Isaac and is in the line of Jesus. Abraham's second wife was Keturah who bore him six sons. I Chronicles 1:32 tells us that Keturah was a concubine, a wife lower in status than Sarah. In Genesis 16 we are told also that Sarah who could not have children gave her husband, Abraham, her handmaiden, Hagar, to raise up seed in his name. The son from this union was Ishmael. Ishmael and the six sons of Keturah all have Arab descendants.
BethAnswer:Her name was Hagar and she bore Abraham's first son, Ishmael, the father of many of the Arab peoples. Ishmael's brother (born to Sarah wife of Abraham) was Isaac, the grandfather of the Israelite peoples via Jacob and the Edomites via Esau.
It is recorded in the old testament in the bible , that Hagar , was a slave . She was Abraham's and sarahs Egyptian slave. Now sarah was barren and at the sane time well passed child bearing age. Abraham was allowed to sleep with he , and a son was born called Ishmael.
Ishmael definitely is from the bible. It means, God hears. Ishmael was the son of Abraham that Hagar, his wife's servant, bore for him. When Abraham and his wife, Sarai, couldn't have children, Sarai gave Hagar to Abraham so that Abraham would at least have a child. Ishmael was the end result. I don't believe that Abah is a name from the bible, but Ahab (not Abah) was one of the most wicked kings of Israel from the Old Testament.

HAGARANSWER:After Sarah's death, Abraham married his 2nd wife/concubine, Keturah (Genesis 25:1; 1Chronicles 1:1-3) His 1st child, Ishmael, was born to Sarah's servant, Hagar in Genesis 16:1.
There are several people of that name, but you're probably thinking of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. In Jewish tradition, Ishmael was Abraham's first son but Isaac, his second, was his favorite. In Muslim tradition, Ishmael was the favorite son. This is understandable if you know that Isaac is considered the father of the Hebrews (Jews) and Ishmael the father of the Arabs. _______________________________________________ Both Abraham's sons; Ismael and Isaac; are favorite to prophet Abraham 9peace be upon them all). However, Ismael was the oldest son and helped prophet Abraham in rebuilding Kaaba. Ismael is grandfather of Muslims (not Arabs) as well as Isaac is the grandfather of Jews
Yes, Hagar was a surrogate mother to Abraham and Sarah in the Bible. She bore a son, Ishmael, on Sarah's behalf when Sarah was unable to conceive.
