God promised Ishmael to become a great nation
That you and your wife will have a baby
Abraham was exceedingly happy when Ishmael was born and wished that Ishmael would be the child of promise, showing little faith in God's abilities. But God corrected Abraham and told him that his son Isaac will fill that role. He had other plans for Ishmael:
yes. they believe in same god...
Which God are you talking about? If it happened to be the God of The Bible, well he did promise not to drown humanity with a flood again.
"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.
Abraham did not disobey God in Scripture. However, some do believe his faith was weak when he took his wife's sevant woman and bore Ishmael whom he loved deeply and wanted to be the child of Promise. God, however, chose Isaac whom his wife bore him afterwards.Genesis 26:5New King James Version (NKJV) 5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."
Ishmael was not the promised son from God. Ishmael came about because Sarah gave Abraham Hagar to produce a son thinking that they would help God out with His promise of a son. A big mistake. Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born.
The Ka'bah is the House of God built by Abraham and his son, Ishmael, for the worship of the One God. It is "The Ancient House". It was built as part of God's promise to bring a Prophet from the descendants of Ishmael.

AnswerThe Israelites believed that God had made a promise to Abraham that his successors would inherit the land of the Canaanites. This would have included other, non-Hebrew people such as the Arabs, said in The Bible to be descendants of Ishmael, so the promise or covenant was later refined to include only the descendants of Israel.
yes. they believe in same god...
Yes it was gods plan.
I think you're really asking "what does the name Ishmael mean in English" In English, it means "God will hear"

Gen 18:14-God's promise to Sarah Luke 1:37-God's promise to Mary
in a nutshell. Abraham had two sons, Isaac and ishmael. ishmael was the older of the two whom Abraham had with his bondservent, this is not what God intended. thus Abraham had another son with his wife fufilling Gods promise. as they became older ishmael and his mother left abrahams camp and pursued there own way of doing things. Muslims followed the ways of ishmael and christians followed the wats of isaac. this is why there are so many things that appear to be the same between Muslims and christians, but believe me there are many similarities the few differences are drastic.
There is no hate in God. I promise you that.
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.
