This Is Islam Uncovered

🧬 Hijacking the Lineage: The Myth of Ishmael as the Chosen Son

Islam’s False Claim to Abrahamic Inheritance

🧭 Introduction: The Genealogy That Gives Islam Legitimacy

Islam teaches:

Abraham had two sons: Ishmael and Isaac.
Isaac was for the Jews, but Ishmael was for the Arabs.
Therefore, Muhammad is from Ishmael, and Islam inherits the covenant.
The Qur’an never names the son in the near-sacrifice story — but Islamic tradition says it was Ishmael, not Isaac.

Here’s the fatal problem:

📌 That entire lineage claim is built on revision, not revelation.
The Bible doesn’t support it. History doesn’t support it. Even logic doesn’t support it.

📜 The Biblical Account: Isaac Was Always the Son of Promise

Let’s go to the primary source — Genesis:

Genesis 17:19 – “Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant.”
Genesis 21:12 – “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
Genesis 22:2 – “Take your son, your only son Isaac… and offer him there.”

No ambiguity. No mystery. Isaac is the son of covenant, the one God chose, and the one nearly sacrificed.

📌 Ishmael was blessed, yes — but never chosen.

📖 What Does the Qur’an Say?

Surprisingly — very little.

Qur’an 37:100–112 tells the near-sacrifice story but never names the son.
Yet in the next verse (37:112), it says: “We gave him glad tidings of Isaac.”
That would imply the son nearly sacrificed was before Isaac’s birth — contradicting the Bible and logic.

So where does the Ishmael theory come from?

📌 Later Islamic tradition, not the Qur’an itself.
Fabricated centuries after Muhammad — to create a genealogical backdoor to legitimacy.

🕋 Why Did Islam Push the Ishmael Narrative?

Because without it:

Islam has no prophetic link to Abraham.
Mecca has no religious significance.
Muhammad becomes an outsider to the biblical tradition.
Islam becomes an imposter faith, not a continuation.

So it did what it always does:

Rewrite the story. Claim the prophet. Change the son.

🧬 Genealogical Claims Fall Apart Under Scrutiny

The Bible never links Ishmael to Arabia or Mecca.
Ishmael’s descendants (Genesis 25:13–18) settled near Egypt and Assyria — not Hijaz.
Muhammad’s exact genealogy to Ishmael cannot be traced reliably beyond a few generations — even Islamic sources admit this.

📌 There’s no forensic chain. No historical map. Just desperate theology.

⚔️ Even Muslim Scholars Had Doubts

Al-Tabari (d. 923) admitted there was no consensus on whether Ishmael or Isaac was the son nearly sacrificed.
Ibn Kathir (d. 1373) repeats both views but leans toward Ishmael, despite the Qur’an’s silence.
Early Muslims borrowed from Jewish midrash and later switched it up when they realized Isaac would undermine the Mecca narrative.

📌 The shift from Isaac to Ishmael was strategic, not spiritual.

📉 Breakdown of the Myth

Claim	Reality
Ishmael was the son of promise	Isaac was the chosen son (Gen 17:19, 21:12)
Ishmael built the Kaaba with Abraham	No evidence Abraham ever went to Mecca
Muhammad descended from Ishmael	No verifiable genealogy exists
Qur’an confirms Ishmael’s sacrifice	Qur’an never names the son
Ishmael connects Islam to Abraham	Only through fabricated tradition

💬 Mic-Drop Closer

“The claim that Ishmael was the son of promise isn’t faith — it’s fraud.
It’s not in the Bible.
It’s not in early Islam.
It’s not in history.

It’s theology rewritten to support a religion that didn’t inherit anything — it invaded everything.

Islam didn’t come from Abraham.
It just hijacked his name.”
