Topic: IS MOHAMMED A DESCENDENT OF ISHMAEL?Posted: 06 August 2009 at 7:45pm |

Muslims
believe that Mohammed is a descendant of Ishmael, that's a very serious claim. Where can I find that information?
What proof is there that the ancestors of Mohammed were really the descendants of Ishmael?
***Except for the lineage of Jesus, which was documented by written books of the Holy Bible through the centuries, no other family in history has ever accounted for their ancestors over a period of 2,000 years.***
The genealogy fabricated by Ibn-Ishak contradicts the sayings of
Mohammed, who expressed his ignorance about his ancestors prior to his 17th
ancestor. **Mohammed, himself, rejected all of these false genealogies, and he put limits regarding the genealogy of his ancestors. Regarding Mohammed’s own rejection of the false genealogies, Amru bin al-As wrote: Mohammed genealogized himself regarding his ancestors until he reached al-Nather bin Kinaneh, then he said, “anyone who claimed otherwise or added further ancestors, has lied.” By this, Mohammed confessed that neither he, nor anyone else, knew about his ancestors beyond al-Nather bin Kinaneh. Nather bin Kinaneh is the 17th ancestor in the genealogy which Mohammed recognized as true. Other narrations of the customs, or sayings, of Mohammed, called Hadiths, show Mohammed refused to be genealogized prior to Maad, معدwho some suggested, was the 4th ancestor prior to al-Nather bin Kinaneh.
Remember, Islamic genealogies only began
to appear in the 8th century A.D which endeavor to connect Mohammed with
Ishmael. That’s waaaaaaaay after the ‘Messengers’ death. His closest
contemporaries and followers considered the genealogies appearing at his time
to be false. Among the people who
reported Mohammed’s opposition to such genealogies were his wife, Aisheh, and
his cousin, Ibn Abbas, one of the most important reporters of Mohammed’s
Hadith. Ibn Ishak altered the genealogies listed by Moses in Genesis; he
inserted Arabic names from his time and contradicted the history regarding
Amalek and many others. Is their at least ONE record between Mohammed and Ishmael which would
support the Islamic claim that Mohammed is descended from Ishmael? If
not, then Ishmael received no spiritual call from God. ‘If’ he thus received no
call from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would that then make him a false
prophet? Isn’t
it interesting that not even ONE, not one of the historical twelve tribes of
Ishmael make mention of a Mohammad let alone a prophet, a VERY important "Prophet" unlike ant other. What
documents can any Muslim provide to support that the Bible was tampered with,
which means then there would be an original document that says otherwise. Were
there any witnesses around to support his ‘Revelation’ from the angel Gabriel? My heart goes out to my Muslim friends who
continue to trust their eternal destiny to a claim which is against logic,
proof and history solely based on what was written years and years and years
after the ‘Messengers death to make YOU dear reader a believer. Edited by Shibboleth - 23 August 2009 at 2:32pm |

Twelve sons were born to Isma'il from his marriage with the Jurhum girl.These were the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Arabized or Northern Arabs.On their mother's side there were related through Jurhum to the Arabizing Arabs,the sons of Ya'rub ibn Qahtan.They were also related to Egypt through their grandmother on their fatherside,Hagar,which was a close relation indeed.Through their grandfather Ibrahim,they were related to 'Iraq and Palestine, his old and new abodes.Jews regarded themselves as descendants of Issac.

Topics discussed in this Verse:
[Abraham:religion of] [Allah's attributes:Protector] [Allah's friendship (to the believers)] [Muhammad:nearest of kin to Abraham] [People of the Book:relationship to Muslims] 3:68 (Y. Ali) Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Messenger and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith. |

First, let me say that I agree with your statements. But let me be more specific, what proof is there in the “Torah” the ”Psalms” and (or) the “Gospel” that the ancestors of Mohammed were really the descendants of Ishmael? They confirmed “Jesus” ancestry, not Muhammad. When Moses, the first Bible writer and first prophet to be
sent to the descendants of Jacob, went to Anyone
could claim to be sent of God. Moses and Christ proved it by the performance of
many miracles, but where were Muhammad’s miracles? He confessed in the
Quran to having none.—See Suras 2:118; 10:38; 11:13; 6:109, Ali. *I will get into the Alhadith or Hadis in another topic I will post. Historians say that the family
of Mohammed was a family which lived in Saba-Yemen. In the 5th century
A.D., Qusayy Bin Kilab, the 8th ancestor of Mohammed, gathered an
alliance of many Yemeni families forming Quraish, the tribe from which Mohammed
later came. These families only came to occupy Mohammed’s
family is not connected to any Ishmaelite tribe because Mohammed’s family
didn’t leave The genealogy fabricated by Ibn-Ishak contradicts the sayings of Mohammed, who expressed his ignorance about his ancestors prior to his 17th ancestor. Ibn Ishak was considered by the Muslim scholars of his time as being guilty of forgery and fabricating false genealogies. Long before Ibn Ishak, Muslims who lived in Mohammed’s own time also fabricated genealogies in an attempt to connect Mohammed to the descendants of Ishmael. Mohammed, himself, rejected all of these false genealogies, and he put limits regarding the genealogy of his ancestors. Regarding Mohammed’s own rejection of the false genealogies, Amru bin al-As wrote: Mohammed genealogized himself regarding his ancestors until he reached al-Nather bin Kinaneh, then he said, “anyone who claimed otherwise or added further ancestors, has lied.” By this, Mohammed confessed that neither he, nor anyone else, knew about his ancestors beyond al-Nather bin Kinaneh. Nather bin Kinaneh is the 17th ancestor in the genealogy which Mohammed recognized as true. Other narrations of the customs, or sayings, of Mohammed, called Hadiths, show Mohammed refused to be genealogized prior to Maad, معدwho some suggested, was the 4th ancestor prior to al-Nather bin Kinaneh. Many versions of Hadith of Mohammed coming from the followers of Mohammed all report that Mohammed opposed to be genelogized until Ishmael. All his closest contemporaries and followers considered the genealogies appearing at his time to be false. Among the people who reported Mohammed’s opposition to such genealogies were his wife, Aisheh, and his cousin, Ibn Abbas, one of the most important reporters of Mohammed’s Hadith.[iv] Ibn Ishak went against what all these people had said by creating genealogies which connect the ancestors of Mohammed with Ishmael. We urge Muslims to study history, and to compare the facts to what they
have been told in the Qur’an and in Islamic tradition. The claims of Mohammed,
the Qur’an and Islam are clearly unfounded. Even if such historical errors were
accepted by the followers in Mohammed’s time, we now have so much more evidence
which proves them in error. How can one embrace these enormous mistakes, when a
simple study of history demonstrates how misinformed they are. There is no evidence apart from the later Muslim traditions that Ishmael ever married a Jurhumite woman, the Torah indicates that he married an Egyptian. Muslims do accept the Torah. On the other hand the Hadith claims that after settling in Mecca Ishmael married twice, and both of his wives were of Arab descent. (Now you see why I must discuss the Hadith at another posting!) If TRUTH is to be imparted please open your heart to these sincere sayings, because….. I am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words
of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an addition to these things,
God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; and if anyone
takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will
take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things
which are written about in this scroll. “He that bears witness of these things says,
‘Yes; I am coming quickly.’” “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.”-Revelation 22: 18-20 |

As Salamu Alaikum, Nur.JazakAllah Kheiran for the link.He's been very buisy and you know how important it is for us to clear up these misconseptions they put out about our deen,I feel it's all of our duty because, it's very little that they can tell us about Christianity,no offense but,personally to me it's all about the dunya and western society and their politics more than religion some say to me I cant be Muslim because my family is Christian everybody I know are Christians. I cant wear hijab or kufi or throbes,or I like pork to much,Muslims cant drink or get high.every reason not to embrace Islam has to do with the dunya and its Western society,(The reason for me stating that personal opinion of mine) it comes from personal experience.Again no offense to any Christians.
