Ishmael, son of Abraham, is mentioned in both the Torah and the Qur'an. In Islam, he is considered one of the prophets.

Arabic إسماعيل. In the Qur'an, Ishmael is known as the first-born son of Abraham from his second wife Hagar, and an appointed Prophet of God (also mentioned in the Bible). Islamic tradition holds that Abraham married Hagar, the mother of Ishmael. As a result, Ishmael was the first legitimate son of Abraham. Islam asserts that he was the one nearly sacrificed, not Isaac, (or Ishaq in the Qur'an). Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son for God is celebrated by Muslims every year as Eid ul-Adha.
