He was visibly aged; and his wife Sarah was beyond menopause (Genesis ch.18).
ihmael is the son of the woman that abraham really loved
Abraham did not actually sacrifice his son so your question is meaningless.
Abraham had only one son Isaac from saran and one son Ishmael from Hager.
Abraham loved Sarah because she was his wife. Abraham loved Hagar because of Ishmael. So Abraham loved both. That is why it was very difficult to choose between them if there had been no Divine intervention.
Saul was a descendant of Abraham. He lived some 900 years after Abraham.
Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was a descendant of Abraham through Abraham's son (with his wife's servant), Shem.
Ishmael was his son from Hagar, and Isaac was his son from his wife, Sarah.
Actually Abraham didn't when sacrifice his son because in the bible it says that when he was about to sacrafice his son, God answered and told him not to do it. Abraham had shown his faith to god and god was pleased. So Abraham didn't sacrifice his son.
A:Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in a strange way the passage about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son speaks more about God's faith in Abraham than Abraham's faith in God. Kass also cites an insightful comment from a student he taught at his university. If you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all - if you say that Abraham has resigned himself wholly to the loss of his son Isaac - then you must also say . . . that Abraham is here offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (Genesis 21:12)?
Abraham's original sacrifice was his son Isaac(Ishmael to the Islam religion) but God stopped him and so Abraham sacrificed a nearby ram as an offering to God.
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. Abraham Lincoln was a psychic. He had many dreams about his death and after his son Willie died he wanted to communicate with his dead son. So he joined many seances in the White House.
