What is the significance of Prophet Ishmael in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?

Ishmael in Judaism
Ishmael is acknowledged as the first son of Abraham and the half-brother of Isaac. While Jewish scripture notes he was blessed by God to become a great nation, Isaac, rather than Ishmael, is recognized as the heir to the divine covenant.

Ishmael in Christianity
Ishmael is recognized in the biblical narrative as Abraham's firstborn son through Hagar. Christians view him as the progenitor of the Arab nations, fulfilling God's promise to make him a great nation despite Isaac inheriting the primary covenant.

Ishmael in Islam
Ishmael holds a highly prominent position as a noble prophet and messenger of Allah. Islamic tradition considers him the ancestor of the Arab people and the Prophet Muhammad, and teaches that he assisted his father, Abraham, in building the Kaaba in Mecca.
