If Ishmael assisted Isaac in burying
their father Abraham and died 1795 B.C.E, how is it that Ishmael helped Abraham
build the Kaaba? (Ge 25:9, 10, 17) 9 So
Isaac and Ish�ma�el his sons buried him in the cave of Mach�pe�lah in the field
of E�phron the son of Zo�har the Hit�tite that is in front of Mam�re, 10 the
field that Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was
buried, and also Sarah his wife. 17 And these are the years of
Ish�ma�el�s life, a hundred and thirty-seven years. Then he expired and died
and was gathered to his people. |

Why
is there is no reference in the Holy Writings of Ishmael rebuilding the Kaaba
and that he received the black stone from the angel Gabriel as Islam�s
tradition has it, nor to Abraham�s being in ancient Mecca? �Genesis 12:8�13:18. In
fact where in God�s Word will you find the word For
such an important event surly the Word of God would have mentioned it or showed
that it had his backing and approval, at least prophesy about it. It was showed
at
As mentioned, If Ishmael assisted Isaac in burying
their father Abraham and died 1795 B.C.E according to Moses, how is it that Ishmael helped Abraham
build the Kaaba? (Ge 25:9, 10, 17)
