Actually he was correct.

The story is in the Qu´ran but it is also in the Bible.  If Yilgun wanted the Turkish to be translated into English it would make sense to translate Ismail into Isaac - the name that would be recognised by the English - wouldn´t it?   In the same way as if he had written about Isa or Nuh - I would expect to see these names translated to Jesus and Noah in the English version.

So he was quite correct

 But mine is gramatically correct

 Translated,is to say same what he said or meant but in the other language.

Ýsaac is not Ýsmail,they are 2 different persons

And 2 different believes!

Ýn Ýslam we believe it was Ýsmail,and in Christianity,you believe it was Ýssac

So its not same to say that the story was about Ýssac when we are talking from Muslims point of view

Ýn your example,Ýsa is Jesus...that is same person,so it makes sense of course to say Jesus instead of Ýsa, no problem,and wont change anything.

But here,Ýsmail and Ýssac is 2 different believes...its different

So he was far away from being correct .

No he wasn´t ´far away from being correct´ he just used the name that English speakers would be familiar with.  Teaschip´s link shows there is some dispute between the Koran and the Bible about the name of the child but we were taught Isaac - the legitimate son of Abraham.

 Oh lovely!  Just what we need - a good debate about "our" religions  I am expecting some (more) choice quotes from both the bible and the quran - yummy!

Meet you back in the Lounge?

 Ummm...actually there are two sons and two wives (all legitimate). The first son was from Hagar and he was Ismael. The second son was Isaac and he was from Sarah aka Sarai.

Ishmael was the first born and legitimate son of Abraham through Hagar. Later Sarah gave birth to another legitimate son, Isaac.

There is no disbute as to the fact that Ishmael was the first born, the dispute is as to who was offered as sacrifice.
