She was Sarah’s servant. She gave Abraham a son, Ishmael. Sarah gave Abraham a son as well, Isaac. Isaac was the son that led to the nation of Israel and Ishmael was the son that led to Islam.

Isaac was the son that led to the nation of Israel and Ishmael was the son that led to Islam.

I don't get that part of the story. Israel was around thousands of years BC. Islam only started in the 7th century thanks to some madman a-hole named Mohammed. How is the Ishmael-Mohammed connection made?

Hagar was Sarah’s servant and Ishmael’s mother Ishtar was a pagan Babylonian goddess.
