Hagarenes

Hagarenes (Greek Ἀγαρηνοί), also mhaggre (with a pun on the word "muhajir", from Hagar's expulsion), is a term that describes "the followers or descendants of Hagar". The name was used in Judeo-Christian literature and Byzantine chronicles for Hanif Arabs, then for Islamic forces known collectively as Saracens, and during the height of the Ottoman Empire, for Turks. The name, used interchangeably with Ishmaelites, came also to mean any Muslim. An example of its current usage is "Ahryani" (Aхряни), a name used for Bulgarian Muslims in colloquial Bulgarian -although this term has also been explained as paralleling the spread of Balkan Islam with anti-trinitarian Arianism.

Hagarim (Hagarenes) are the Hunefah non-Isaacite children of Abram's promise. They are the children of Abram's second wife Keturah (a.k.a. Hagar meaning literally "The Stranger") according to their 7 nations, Ishmael, Zimran, Ishbak, Shuah, Medan, Midian and Jokshan. Though they travelled far and wide, their base was Petra which used to be called Hagar. Their guardian angel "Ra El" became known to the Egyptians simply as Ra. Wherever they were found, levites were found with them. In the Crimea they were called Sebomenoi, but later became known as Subbotniks, Molokans and Gerei in southern Russia, while their levites became the Karaites.

There are two kinds of Hagarim. Toshavim are those Hagarim who are not circumcised as well as all female Hagarim. Jagurim are those Hagarim who enter into the covenant of Isaac and are circumcised upon the 8th day. While the Toshavim are allowed to visit the land of Israel, only the Jagurim are allowed to settle there. Toshavim are called children of Abram, while Jagurim are called children of Abraham. Isaac is unique among all those in the Federation of Abraham in that only Isaac is circumcised upon the eighth day after his physical birth.

Toshav status is not inherited, and their children may be purchased as slaves by Jagurim. Thus the practice of initiating Babies into Toshavut through officially witnessed baptism spread amongst them. Jagurim who give up on their religion are called Edomites. Israel-hating Edomites are exactly equivalent to the accursed Amalekites and are excomunicated from the children of Abram's promise altogether.

Some tribes of Hagarim circumcise their males after the first year of puberty, though this is a convention and not a law since some of their males do die before circumcision.

Toshav Hagarim, as uncircumcised visitors (Toshavim), are equivalent to the Children of Noah. An uncircumcised resident (Ger) of the courts is an official "Ger Toshav" and one of the Tzadikei Umot Ha Olam. In the Quran these belong to the Sons among the Mursaleen (Mursals) of Yukhashin Bet welcomed into the sabbath rest. The Hassidei Umot Ha Olam are unofficial Gerei Toshavim excluded from Israel's sabbath. In the Quran these are called Mumineen (Mumins) of Yukhashin Gimmel.

Only Jagur Hagarim are permitted to eat of the Pascal Feast Offering.

This system has been called Hagarism, and there are special laws mentioned in the Torah that apply only to Hagarim. Jews classify these laws as the covenant of Noah, though their interpretation of this law is different from the rest of Israel's interpretation. There are seven categories just as there are seven nations of Hagarim.

Idolatry:A resident shall not follow after any Nochri gods & their abominations / a resident under pain of recompense shall not engage in bloodshed (but the victim who foregoes recompense shall be expiated from sins). :The resident Hagar shall not practice infanticide (worship Molech) . :Your resident who is in your courts shall not misappropriate the time of standing in devotion to Ton Theon on the Day of Assembly in the Sabbatical week of Sukkot for any other purpous . :A resident shall not deprive anyone of compensation for damages . :Hagar Yagur shall not misappropriate Aaron's rights in offering a sacrifice or burning an offering by not bringing it to the tent of meeting to offer & :A resident Yagur family whose males have not been circumcised shall not misappropriate a portion to eat of the Pascal Feast Offering and the Children of Noah may be donated Nevelah for eating ONLY IF IN NEED, BUT a resident MUST observe the proper purification ritual after eating any kind of Taref/Traif/Treif in order to be blameless because one set of rules apply to the resident and to the homeborn. :A resident Hagar has the right to be chosen to carry the red Heifer ashes for a water of sprinkling, but MUST observe the proper purification ritual has the right to be regarded as brethren in the Qehilat of Israel. :HaToshavim Hagarim have the right to baptise their children to prevent them from being, permanently contracted to a Jewish family and not be ruled over with rigour if regarded as brethren in the Qehilat of Israel , all have the right to loving unopressive treatment from Jews especially if a hired help if in need. :Your resident who is in your courts unlike Areilim and have the right to enjoy proper rest on the Sabbath. :A resident and a visitor have the right to exemption from being charged interest by Jews , , / a resident have (along with Israel's Levites, Asuphim & Widows) the right to feast in the courts (BetheiDin) of Israel's tithe in the end of every third year. :Hagar who are in your midst has the right to replace the unfaithful .

Just like the Muslim's Ahadith, the Jewish Mishnah has a lot in it that agrees with the rest of Israel's Torah. TY Yevamot 8:1 (44a) indicates that a Ger Toshav can take the whole of Torah upon his shoulders and even be baptized without joining the circumcision. Avodah Zarah 65a indicates that one need not stand before an Israelite House of Din in order to be recognised as a Ger Toshav. However, somesources indicate that an official Toshav (i.e. a Jagur) must be circumcised within 12 months or be labelled an idolater.

"Who is a ger toshav? Whoever has resolved to convert and has renounced idolatry but who still has not actually converted. We allow him twelve months to do so. This applies to a ger toshav, but as for a gentile it is forbidden for him to dwell among Jews and to work on the Sabbath lest the Jews learn from his deeds" (Tannaitic text published 40 years ago called MRE, sec.20, 374. See P. Yeb 8.1 / Also referenced by the Saadyah Gaon ca. 1000)

An amora explains that the passage in TB A"Z 65a quotes a tannaitic source who says that a Ger Toshav who is not circumcised within 12 months loses his status of Ger Toshav is referring to a Ger Toshav who accepted to circumcize himself. In other words, if such a Ger Toshav does not fulfill the conditions of his acceptance then his acceptance is nullified.

This then seems to be the basis for the Amoraic statement that a "Ger toshav" who has not been circumcised within twelve months is considered to be a confirmed idolater. Thus we see that even in the Talmudic period the absolute separation between the ger toshav and the ger tzedeq was not consistently held. A good case can be made that generally in the Biblical period, and even in the early rabbinical period, the ger toshav was in fact considered a potential Ger Tzediq. (B. AZ 65a., Only Meiri, 256, codifies this opinion)
