AnswerThe Israelites believed that God had made a promise to Abraham that his successors would inherit the land of the Canaanites.

What is the difference between US and middle east religions?

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.

What is the land of ishmael?

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.
