Ishmael knew the God of Abraham and had the faith of Abraham. When Hagar was sent out with him, he prayed unto God, and the Lord heard the child and showed Hagar a well of water.
Jethro, the father in law of Moses, performed a burnt offering when Israel was delivered from Egypt. He also gave wise counsel to Moses to divide up the responsibility over the people.
The early Arabs knew the God of Israel, but their hatred of their cousins has blinded them from the fact that Jesus said,"Salvation is of the Jews." It is faith in the promised Seed, the Redeemer, the child of promise, the Seed of David, which saves the soul. They have left off faith in the promises of God, to please God with their own works of righteousness, which works fall terribly short of the glory of God, unable to satisfy the righteous requirements of the Holy One of Israel.

Ishmael knew the God of Abraham and had the faith of Abraham.

Did he? God doesn't seem to acknowledge Ishamel in that manner.

The following verses have something in common:
God doesn't mention Ishamel, of whom the Arabs are descended. Ishmael is the 'other' branch. The abominable branch perhaps???
