و على ما قاله ادم كلارك قد علمنا ان العرب كانوا في عزة و منعة من اعدائهم و انهم استمروا بالختان منذ زمن ابراهيم عليه الصلاة و السلام الى اليوم الحاضر بل انهم الشعب الوحيد غير اليهودي الذي اشترك معهم في كثير من طقوسهم وعلى هذا فان البركة التي تخص اسماعيل و بنيه لا يمكن ان لا ترتبط بالعهد الذي تحدث عنه سفر التكوين .

بل ان بعض المفسرين فسروا نص البركة على انه قوة بني اسماعيل ودولتهم خلال العهد الاسلامي بل ان النص تم تاويله على اساس قيام الدول الاسلامية بما فيها ذلك تلك التي اقاموها الاتراك
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee, &c. Took notice of his prayer for him, and accepted of and would answer him, and did, as follows:


behold, I have blessed him; determined in his mind to bless him, promised to bless him, Genesis 16:10; had blessings laid up and in reserve for him:


and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; as he did, many of the Arabian nations, the Hagarenes, Saracens, and Turks, all springing from him:


twelve princes shall he beget; whose names are given, Genesis 25:13; and their number there exactly agrees with this prophecy. Melo (s), the Heathen writer above mentioned, says, that Abraham, of his other wife, the Egyptian servant (that is, Hagar), begat twelve sons, which he mistakes for twelve sons of Ishmael, his son by Hagar; and, adds he, these going into Arabia, divided the country among them, and were the first that reigned over the inhabitants of it; hence down to our times the kings of the Arabians have twelve names like to those. So the Saracens were divided into twelve tribes, of which there were so many "phylarchi", or governors; and the Turks also are divided into the same number of tribes (t). And


I will make him a great nation; as the nation of the Turks especially is; and the Turkish empire is frequently called in Jewish writings the kingdom of Ishmael, as the Arabic language is called the Ishmaelitish language.

وطبعا هذه الدول التي اقامها العرب و الترك لم تكن الا دول اسلامية فهذه العظمة و البركة لا تعني الا قوة و منعة و عزة الدول الاسلامية العربية و التركية و عبادتها لل عز وجل و الغريب ان المصدر ذكر كل شيء ما عدا كلمة الاسلام !!!! كاد ان يقولها !!!!


و الاغرب ان هناك من تحرج في تفسير هذا النص كثيرا حتى انه قال لعلهم تمتعوا بهذه البركة!!!

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
19, 20. The blessings of the covenant are reserved for Isaac, but common blessings were abundantly promised to Ishmael; and though the visible Church did not descend from his family, yet personally he might, and it is to be hoped did, enjoy its benefits

و الحقيقة انها نبوة عن ظهور الاسلام وقوته بين بني اسماعيل

قال تعالى : (وَإِذِ ابْتَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَبُّهُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَأَتَمَّهُنَّ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّي جَاعِلُكَ لِلنَّاسِ إِمَامًا ۖ قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ قَالَ لَا يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ (124))


هذا وصلى الله صلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه وسلم
