THE 12 TRIBES OF ISHMAEL: WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THEM.

After leaving Abraham's household, Ishmael settled in the wilderness of Paran and married an Egyptian woman. His descendants gave rise to twelve Ishmaelite tribes who led a nomadic life in the Arabian Peninsula. The Ishmaelites also intermingled with other descendants of Abraham, such as the Midianites and Edomites. Due to the complex interactions and mingling among the peoples of the ancient Near East, precisely tracing the fate of the Ishmaelites throughout history is a challenging task. However, many Arabs still claim direct descent from Abraham through Ishmael, maintaining an ancestral connection that spans centuries. The region of the ancient Middle East is undoubtedly one of the most captivating areas in the world, especially for those with a deep interest in the sacred scriptures and the history of the peoples who inhabited it, including Arabs, Jews, and various other cultures that shared this region. Join us as we explore The 12 Tribes of Ishmael and uncover what has yet to be widely known about them.
