How did Islam come to be an abrahamic religion? It makes sense to me that Christianity is, because Jesus was Jewish, as were his earliest followers. But the prophet Mohammed was not Jewish, nor were his early followers. So where did the idea originate that Muslims are descendants of Ishmael?

I was just reading a novel set in WWI where the narrator observed, "We all knew that life would never be the same again,"... what would life be like if WWI had never happened, or WWII for that matter?
