Hagar. Hagar is a biblical person in the Book of Genesis.
She was an Egyptian slave / handmaid of Sarai, who gave her to Abraham to bear a child. The product of the union was Abraham's firstborn, Ishmael, the progenitor of the Ishmaelites.
Various commentators have connected her to the Hagrites, perhaps as their eponymous ancestor. The name Hagar originates from the Book of Genesis; she is acknowledged in all Abrahamic religions.
Hagar is alluded to in the Quran, and Islam considers her Abraham's second wife. This is a summary of the account of Hagar from Genesis 16 and 21. Hagar was the Egyptian slave of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
Sarah had been barren for a long time and sought a way to fulfill God's promise to Abraham that Abraham would be father of many nations, especially since they were getting older, so she offered Hagar to Abraham as a second wife. Hagar became pregnant, and tension arose between the two women. Sarah complained to Abraham, and treated Hagar harshly, and Hagar ran away. Hagar fled into the desert on her way to Shur. At a spring en route, an angel appeared to Hagar, who instructed her to return to Sarah, so that she may bear a child who shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren. Then she was told to call her son Ishmael. Afterward, Hagar referred to God as E
