Ishmael - Ishmael

Japanese: イシュマエル - いしゅまえる
Ishmael - Ishmael

…The Jews and Christians also distorted and concealed the Book of Revelation that had been given to them. The distant ancestor of the Arabs, Abraham, built the Kaaba in Mecca with his son Ishmael, dedicated it to Allah as a home, and prayed that he would send one of his descendants as an apostle. Abraham was a prophet, Hanif, a Muslim, much older than Moses, although he was not given the Book of Revelation. …

From Mecca

...The place where Ibrahim stood, inside the Kaaba, where his footprints are said to have been left, is considered to be evidence of the historical authenticity of this story. There are many places in and around the Kaaba that are associated with Ibrahim, such as Minā, where Ibrahim was said to have offered his son Isma'il (Ishmael) as a sacrifice to God, the hills of Safa and Marwa, where Ibrahim's wife Hajar (Hagar), born in Africa, wandered between them with their infant son Isma'il, and the spring of Zamzam, where God took pity on the infant and blessed him to quench his thirst in response to the mother's sincerity in loving her. These places remain deeply connected to pilgrimage rituals even after the advent of Islam. Mecca is located in the middle of the desert, far from the hustle and bustle of civilization, and is the best place for cultivating the unique purity and spirit of simplicity and strength. According to Islamic teachings, it is also the place where Muhammad, the last prophet sent by God, began his missionary work and left many exemplary precedents.

【メッカ】より

…カーバ内にあり,彼の足跡が残されているとされるイブラーヒームの立ち所は,この故事の歴史的信憑性を示す証拠とされている。イブラーヒームが息子イスマーイール(イシュマエル)を神の犠牲にささげようとした場所といわれるミナーMinā,アフリカ生れの妻ハージャル(ハガル)がみどり子のイスマーイールを連れてその間をさ迷ったといわれるサファーṢafāとマルワMarwaの丘,その際幼児を哀れみ,母親の子を思う誠意にこたえて渇きをいやすため神が恵み給うたとされるザムザムZamzamの泉など,カーバとその周囲には,イブラーヒームにゆかりのある土地が数多く,これらはイスラム登場後も巡礼の儀式に深く結びついた場所となっている。 メッカは,文明の喧騒から離れた位置にあり,砂漠のただ中にあって特有の清浄さ,質実剛健の気風を培うには最良の環境にあり,イスラムの教えによれば神から遣わされた最後の預言者であるムハンマドが布教を開始し,数々の模範的な先例を残した場所でもある。…
