'Ishmael Would Not Be Forgotten.'
a) Genesis 16:11. The Angel of the Lord said to Hagar that she was pregnant and that she would bear a son. His name should be called Ishmael because the Lord had listened to hagar's affliction.
b) Genesis 16:15-16. And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. Abram was 86 years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to him.
c) Genesis 17:20. God said to Abraham: "As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation."
(This QT reminds me that Ishmael Would Not Be Forgotten)

Chris.
We should not forget that Hagar bore Ishmael to Abraham (Ibrahim). The Children of Ishmael are those people of the Muslim Faith today. Surely we should be praying for our Muslim friends and neighbours to come to know the Lord personally and individually.
