She is Mrs. “Sarah”, the first wife of the friend of God “Abraham” peace be upon him and a model of the faithful woman who is patient with God’s decree and judgment… as she was barren and could not give birth… so she married her husband to Mrs. “Hagar” and

God Almighty, the Strong and Powerful, granted her a reward for her patience and gave her the good news of a righteous son “our master Isaac” and cooled her eyes with him..

{And his wife was standing, and she laughed, so We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob. (71) She said, “Woe to me! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is a strange thing.” (72) They said, “Do you wonder at the affair of {Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you, O people of the House. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Glorious. (73)} Surah Hud

{Then his wife came in a shriek and struck her face and said, “A barren old woman.” (29) They said, “Thus says your Lord. Indeed, it is He who is the Wise, the Knowing.” (30)} Surah Adh-Dhariyat

, which our Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, informed us about, that she will take care of the children of the believers in Paradise with her husband, the friend of God, Abraham, as a reward for her patience:

The children of the believers are on a mountain in Paradise, taken care of by Abraham and Sarah , until they are returned to their fathers on the Day of Resurrection

Summary of the degree: True

**“Sarah” in the Holy Bible:

**

1 - An extremely jealous woman … She resented her maid who married her husband - even though Sarai “Sarah” was the one who married her husband, which is an apparent contradiction … How could she marry him of her own free will and then resent this matter?!!

Then Sarai said to Abram, “Behold, the Lord has kept me from bearing children. Go in to my maid; perhaps I may obtain children through her.” So Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. Genesis 16:2

]

So Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife. Genesis 16:3

[/type]

And Sarai said to Abram, “My oppression be upon you! ” I gave my maid into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. The Lord judge between me and you.” Genesis 16:5

2 - She oppresses her maid and the mother of her husband’s son and humiliates her until she flees from her face… “Abram” was fully aware of this matter, and he was the one who sent Hagar to Sarah to do with her as she pleased… and he is supposed to be a prophet sent by the Lord!! :

And Abram said to Sarai, “Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as you see fit.” So Sarai humbled her, and she fled from her face. Genesis 16:6

Although it is correct and mentioned in Islam that our master Abraham was commanded by God to take his wife Hagar and his son Ishmael to the land of Hijaz so that the nation of Islam would emerge from the lineage of Ishmael…

Here we wonder how Christians forget that the story of Hagar is in their book without any clear meaning, purpose or value…?!

It is clear that the distorters of these texts knew the great importance of the migration of Lady Hagar and her son, the Prophet of God Ismail, to the Hijaz, which is the establishment of the Islamic nation there in this blessed spot… Therefore, they replaced the texts indicating the divine command to take Lady Hagar and our master Ismail to the Hijaz with other texts that attribute the reason for the migration of Lady “Hagar” to reasons related to Lady “Sarah“‘s jealousy of her!!!

And it is clear after all that we have narrated… that the Holy Book did not leave us a single description that tells us: Why does the Christian love “Sarah”, the wife of “Abram” and the mother of “Isaac”… as long as she is in their view a jealous and unjust woman… and behaves in strange ways…!!

Is this the state of women among you?!!

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, spoke the truth

. He came to Ash-Sham and saw the Christians prostrating to their rabbis, scholars, and jurisprudents. He said, “Why are you doing this?” They said, “This is the greeting of the prophets.” We said, “We are more deserving of doing this to our Prophet.” When he came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he prostrated. The Prophet said, “What is this, Muadh?” He said, “I came to Ash-Sham and saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops, priests, monks, and patriarchs, and I saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis, jurisprudents, and scholars. I said, “Why are you doing this?” They said, “This is the greeting of the prophets.” I said, “We are more deserving of doing this to our Prophet.” **The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “They lied about their prophets, just as they distorted their book.”
