Question

One man with this name names a denomination that spawned the interfaith Satpanth (“SAT-punuth”) movement and has built “centers” worldwide as modern versions of meeting places called jamatkhanas. Another man with this name fathered Kedar, the namesake of a tribe of archers, and Nebaioth, who may be linked to the Nabataeans, among his 12 sons. A son of Jafar ibn Sadiq with this name (10[1])names a denomination whose largest branch is the Nizaris, led by the Aga (10[1])Khan, and which (10[1])isare commonly contrasted with Twelver Shi’as. According to both the Hebrew Bible and Islam, another man with this name became the forefather of the Arabs after he and his mother, a handmaiden, fled into the desert. For 10 points, give this name of the child of Hagar and Abraham. ■END■
