He is the son of prophet Ibrahim, Ishmael or Ismail is a prophet of God aswell, God commanded Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice prophet Ismail for the sake of testing Prophet Ibrahim's faith in God, Both the prophets were willing to do what God has commanded but just before prophet Ibrahim did what he was told, God sent down a sheep to be sacrificed instead of Prophet Ismail.

No. The Muslim perspective is that Islam started with Adam, the first man, because Islam is the natural state of a person until he is corrupted by other religions/beliefs/atheism. The Historical perspective is that the first Muslim was Mohammed since it is the Qur'an which forms the basis for Muslim religious practice. Since Adam comes before Ishmael and Mohammed comes after Ishmael, nobody claims Ishmael started Islam. However, Ishmael is commonly cited as being the progenitor of the Arab peoples and the link that Muslims have to Abraham.
Ka'bah
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came through the off spring of Prophet Ishmael (or Esmael) while Islam came by start of universe creation. Refer to question below.
The Hebrew civilization most directly contributed to the development of both Christianity and Islam. Abraham was a Hebrew and had two sons Ishmael and Jacob. Islam is from Ishmael's lineage and Christianity is from Jacob's lineage.
Both Islam and Christianity originated out of Judaism.
Islam originated from Abraham's son Ishmael.
Ishmael is a character in the Bible who is considered to be the ancestor of the Arab people. He is traditionally seen as a figure of Islam, as Muslims believe that he, along with his father Abraham, built the Kaaba in Mecca.
Islam believes in all the prophets of the other two major religions and believe that ishmael and his father Abraham built the holy khaba and that ishmael was the next prophet after Abraham.
Sarah (Isaac's Mother) and Hajar (Ishmael's Mother)
Abraham was the father of Ishmael, to whom Arabs trace their ancestry.
Ishmael was the son of Abraham and Hagar (an Egyptian princess). Since G0d made Isaac the heir of Abraham and the next link in the chain that led to Judaism, He commanded Abraham to listen to his wife (Sarah) and send Ishmael away. This was a formal act that dealt with the inheritance and they did maintain contact throughout the years. For example, Ishmael attended and helped with Abraham's funeral, while acknowledging that Isaac was his heir. G0d promised Abraham that Ishmael would be the progenitor of a people that would have the traits that described him. These were the Arabs. When Mohammad invented Islam, he changed some of the Bible stories to involve Ishmael and pretended that he was a full prophet.
