Let us now stop at the below verses:
GENESIS 22, VERSES 1 – 18
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did
tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said,
Behold, here I am. 2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine
only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the
land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering
upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 3 And
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass,
and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac
his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and
rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told
him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes,
and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said unto his
young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad
will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. 6 And
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it
upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and
a knife; and they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac
spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and
he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire
and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of;
and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in
order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar
upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand,
and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the
LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham,
Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not
thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto
him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13 And
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind
him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham
went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt
offering in the stead of his son. 14 And Abraham called
the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this
day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. 15 And the
angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the
second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith
the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast
not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I
will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed
as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon
the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
God tested Abraham and commanded him to sacrifices his
son, his only son, and when God saw that Abraham was
ready to do so and sacrifices his only son that he loved,
God redeemed the son and promised to bless Abraham and
make him blessed by all nations.
The above verses referred to Isaac as Abraham's only son,
but as we learned Ishmael (Pput) was the first son, and the older
brother of Isaac – another example of how the Bible was
perverted.
Ishmael was the first son of Abraham (Pput), and Ishmael was the
son with whom God tested Abraham and redeemed. The
children of Ishmael (Ppuh) are the saved, redeemed and chosen
as the holy people of God. They are the ones referred to in
the Old Testament, in Isaiah and other parts (God willing, in
another study at a later time, I will go into details about the
redeemed people in the Old Testament, and the perversion
that was done to replace the name of "children of Ishmael" (Ppuh)
with "children of Israel (Ppuh)", which began as we saw in the
above verses, with perverting the name of Abraham's
first and redeemed son Ishmael, to Abrahams second son
Isaac (Pput), who was not yet known about when God redeemed
Ishmael (Ppuh)).
Now let's read the Qur'an version of the redeeming event.
THE QUR'AN 37, VERSES 101 – 113
101 So We gave him the good news of a boy (Ishmael)
ready to suffer and forbear. Then, 102 when (Ishmael)
reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O
my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now
see what is thy view!" (Ishmael) said: "O my father! Do
as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills
one practicing Patience and Constancy!" 103 So when they
had both submitted their wills (to Allah.. and he had laid
him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), 104 We called
out to him "O Abraham! 105 Thou hast already fulfilled the
vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
106 For this was obviously a trial- 107 And We redeemed
him with a momentous sacrifice: 108 And We left (this blessing)
for him among generations (to come) in later
times: 109 "Peace and salutation to Abraham!" 110 Thus
indeed do We reward those who do right. 111 For he was
one of our believing Servants. 112 And We gave him the
good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous. 113
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some)
that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their
own souls.
Ishmael is the younger redeemed son of Abraham; the
good news of Isaac was given to Abraham after the event
of redemption! The redeemed nation is the children of
Ishmael (Pput).
The following verses, is a description of God's chosen one;
of the great powerful message he will be carrying, and the
place from where he was issued.
ISAIAH 42, VERSES 1 – 13
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom
my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall
bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2 He shall not cry,
nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax
shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto
truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 5
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and
that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the
people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I the
LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine
hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of
the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind
eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them
that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am the
LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to
another, neither my praise to graven images. 9 Behold,
the former things are come to pass, and new things do
I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 10
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of
the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that
is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 11 Let
the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the
villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the
rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12
Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise
in the islands. 13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man,
he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry,
yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
The above powerful verses teach us about God's chosen
one, he will be the last one to be sent to us:
I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will
I not give to another, neither my praise to graven
images.
The verses teach us; God's chosen one will be sent from
the wilderness where Kedar resided.
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their
voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the
inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the
top of the mountains.
So, who is Kedar, and where did he reside?

Author's Notes:
God's test to Abraham (Ppuh), the redemption of Abraham's (Ppuh) only son (at that time), and God's promise to Abraham (Ppuh) and his redeemed son.
