It is a false narrative that Ishmael is a patriarch of the Arabs. Hagar, Ishmaels mother & Abraham's concubine, was an ancient Egyptian, not an Arab. Ancient Egyptians were ethnically different from Arabs, ancient Egyptians spoke Egyptian not Arabic. The Ancient Hebrews & Egyptians had no contact with Arabs who originate from the Arabian Peninsula. The Arab conquest wasn't till 634AD-638AD.
