The mention of the Islamic nation in the Old Testament
It is historically established that Arabs came from the lineage of Ishmael, Ishmael is the grandfather of all the Arabs including the Prophet Muhammad. In Genesis (21-17:18) God says
Also in Genesis (21:13), God addressed Abraham saying
Prophet Muhammad, started his call among Pagan Arabs who adherently worshipped idols, when the Prophet migrated from Baca to Madina, the number of the Muslims were so few and they were weak and helpless, within just twenty three years the prophet, by the grace of God, has made this handful companions a great nation; by his death the whole of the Arab Peninsula converted to Islam, the number of Muslims has been increasing ever since and Islam, according to Non-Muslim analysts, is the fastest growing religion as the prophecy states. The greatness of this nation is not only crystal clear in its swelling number but also in adhering to the ethics and morals that Islam imposes, no other nation is adhering to morals and the laws of its religion as the Muslim nation does.
A reference to Zamzam water in Baca in the Holy Book Zamzam is a famous well from which water has been flowing since the days of Ishmael. Islamic history states that Zamzam well was revealed to Hagar (Hājar), the second wife of Abraham[2] and mother of Ishmael around the year 2000 BC.[3] According to Islamic tradition, she was desperately seeking water for her infant son, but she could not find any , as Mecca is located in a hot dry valley with few sources of water. Muslim traditions say that Hagar ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwah, looking for water. Getting thirstier by the second, her son, Ismael scraped the land with his feet, where suddenly water sprang out. There are other versions of the story involving God sending his angel, Gabriel , who kicked the ground with his heel and the water rose. The name of the well comes from the phrase Zomë Zomë, meaning 'stop', a command repeated by Hagar during her attempt to contain the spring water According to Islamic tradition, Abraham rebuilt the Bait-ul-Allah ("House of God", cognate of the Hebrew-derived place name Bethel) near the site of the well, a building which had been originally constructed by Adam and today is called the Kaaba, a building toward which all Muslims around the world face in prayer, five times each day. The Zamzam well is located approximately 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba
In Genesis ( 21: 19,20,21 ) , The Holy Book says
The word " Paran " is a Hebraic word that was arabicized into "Faran" . It is one of Meca's names. The above-mentioned text –as you see - is talking about Zamzem well( a famous and never –dried well) , from which Hager gave her son a drink and it is still there where pilgrims drink from, in addition , it talks about the wilderness of Paran , where Ishmael dwelled . Paran, as implied in many places in the Holy Book, is Mecca( also Baca). The Holy Quran gives a special mention to the story of Ishmael, The Holy Quran says:
Also the text stated that Ishmael was an archer, and that is in conformity with the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad which says:
