I determined this by doing research. You know, reading scholarly books, and doing some actual investigation, instead of blindly copying material from the internet written by biased pseudo-scholars like your idol Sam Shamoun. 

Anyone who reads the Bible with objectivity would realize that it is a book which is full of historical and scientific errors, exaggerations, myths and contradictions.  This can be plainly observed.  Of course, people like you have been brain-washed from the get-go.  You don't see the clear evidence of the Bible's less than reputable material.
 That doesn't answer my question, why would God start a false religion and the he discovered that he made a mistake? Do you think God will do that answer this for me please.

By the way, you can check out my blog to see several articles I have published on the Bible and the Quran:

LOL Well, what else do you expect him to do?  Some people prefer to sit back and be spoon-fed a bunch of lies instead of doing honest research.  They need to feel that everyone else is wrong, and they are right.  They need to satisfy their egos!

As�alaamu Alaikkum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

 

Prophet Ishmael (Alayhi Salaam) was the first born son of the beloved Prophet of God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam). Being the first born, Ishmael (Alyhi Salaam) was especially loved by his father as Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam) was getting on years.  Prophet Ibrahim made a supplication to God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala to bless his son and his progeny.

Genesis 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala heard his pleas and replied :-

Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

In the Holy Qur�an we are told by God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala that He ordered Prophets Ibrahim and Ishmael (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them both) to buid the Kaba�a in Mecca. This is where Hagar and Ishmael were ordered to be settled. We can deduce from this blessing that God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala would send Prophets and Messengers to the descendants of Ishmael (Alayhi Salaam). We can deduce from the Holy Qur�an that Prophets Hud, Salih, Shua�ib etc (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon them) were the direct descendants of Prophet Ishmael (Alayhi Salaam). The final Messenger and Prophet of this line being Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam).

God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala does not lie. Christians would like to demonise Ishmael and his mother Hagar. They say that because Hagar was the handmaid of Sarah, Prophet Ishmael was born into bondage and has lost his claim to be the son of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam). They fail to realize or even accept the fact that both sons of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam) Prophet Ishmael and Prophet Isaac (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them both) were blessed by God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala.

This deep rooted hatred for the first born son of Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhi Salaam) is unfounded. Nowhere in the Bible does it state that God Allah Subhana Wa Ta�ala would only bless Prophet Isaac (Alayhi Slaam) and his progeny.

The Jew and the Arab are indeed brothers.

 
The History of Tabari claims that the first Arabic speakers were Shem�s grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Abraham, however, was nine generations after Shem.�God made �Ad, �Ubayl, Thamud, Judays, �Imlaq, Tasm, Umaym, and the children of Joktan b. Eber b. Shelah b. Arpachsad b. Shem b. Noah able to understand Arabic.� (History of Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 18)

�It is said that �Imliq was the first to speak Arabic when they departed from Babylon.  They and Jurhum are called the �aribah Arabs.� (Hist. Tabari, Vol. 2, pp. 17-18)

 The Arab genealogies were written over 2000 years after the birth of Ishmael, and they did not have reliable genealogies past Muhammad�s forefather Adnan.

 
Genealogical information was so scarce and unreliable that Muhammad needed a �revelation� to find out he was from Mudar

    �Ma'n Ibn 'Isa al-Ashja'i al-Qazzaz (silk-merchant) informed us; he said: Mu'awiyah Ibn Salih informed us on the authority of Yahya Ibn Jabir who had seen some Companions of the Prophet and said: The people of Banu Fuhayrah came to the Prophet and said to him: You belong to us. He replied: Verily, (the archangel) Gabriel has informed me that I belong to Mudar.� (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume I, p. 4; this quote was taken from Sam Shamoun�s article ��Ishmael Is Not the Father Of Muhammad�)

    Muhammad�s alleged revelatory information was about as far as Muslim scholars could agree upon

    �The genealogists do not differ concerning the descent of our Prophet Muhammad as far as Ma�add b. �Adnan.� (Hist. of Tabari, Vol. 6, p. 37)

    Examples of conflicting traditions past Ma�add b. Adnan

      Al-Zubayr b. Bakkar � Yahya b. al-Miqdad al-Zam�i � his paternal uncle Musa b. Ya�qub b. �Abdullah b. Wahb b. Zam�ah � his maternal aunt Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet: �I heard the messenger of God say, �Ma�add b. �Adnan b. Udad b. Zand b. Yara b. A�raq al-Thara.� (History of Tabari, vol. 6, p. 38)

      Al-Harith-Muhammad b. Sa�d � Hisham b. Muhammad � Muhammad b. �Abd al-Rahman al- �Ajlani � Musa b. Ya�qub al-Zami � his paternal aunt � her grandmother Bint al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad al-Bahrani: The Messenger of God said, �Ma�add b. �Adnan b. Udad b. Yara b. A�raq al-Thara� (History of Tabari, vol. 6, p. 38)

In regard to the time before Adnan Muslims have a very difficult time tying Adnan to Abraham.  Notice they have only a few names (9 while some say only 6) in a list that should span over a thousand years!

Not all Arabs are descendants of Ishmael.  Some Arabs probably are descendants of Ishmael, but it is hard to say who they are since: There were no solid records;  Genealogical questions were answered by consulting an idol;  Islam�s own sources claim that Ishmael�s descendants were scattered.   Muhammad needed to claim a revelation to justify himself being a descendant of Mudar;  There exists no clear link between Mudar and Ishmael.

 

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near the Ka'ba under a tree on the spot of Zam-zam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water. So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates, and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother followed him saying, "O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?" She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her. Then she asked him, "Has Allah ordered you to do so?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not neglect us," and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Ka'ba, and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:
