If Muhammad is a descendent of Ishmael as Muslims say he is, did Ishmael worship Abrahams God?
It's been said that Abram was God's friend and then Jacob and Isaac; and that Abraham became the farher of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. How is that the case with Islam, can someone please make that connection for me?

There are really two 'Muhammads'.
There is the Koranic 'Muhammad'.....which is actually the Biblical Jesus.
Then there is also the ficticious islamic 'Muhammad'.

Genesis 17
18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee. 19 And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year. 22 And when he had left oil speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
According to these verses, IMO, God kept his promise to Abraham regarding Ismael. Verse 20 may indicate that Ismael worshiped God of Abraham till his very last breath as it is God's promise to Abraham that Ismael may live before God (verse 18). God didn't establish his covenant with the descendent of Ismael which explains why the Arabs became Pagans prior to Muhammad. He only established His covenant with Isaac's descendents which is why the Jews has always been monotheistic.
Quran says in SURAH 3
84: Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes,and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allahdo we bow our will (in Islam)."
The verse above indicates that Muhammad is trying to bring the Pagan Arabs to worship God Almighty, the one and only God who Abraham, Ismael, Isaac and his descendents worship.
It doesn't mean that since the Muslim worship Allah, and Abraham worship YHWH, therefore the Muslims are not worshiping the God of Abraham because Allah is not YHWH. It doesnt work that way. We suppose to compare them using their nature / definition. Allah in the Quran is God Almighty, the one and only supreme being, the creator. YHWH in the Bible has the same characteristic as Allah. Therefore the Quran and the Bible are probably talking about the same God .
Another example is, a tribe in Africa who worship Atnatu. Atnatu to them is God Almighty, the one and only supreme being and the creator etc etc... Now Doesn't that sound like YHWH or Allah?

I would assume that Ishmael did worship Abraham's God, since Genesis says he also received the covenant and circumcision when he was 13 years old. He had at least some share in the covenant, even if Issac was the true heir of it, other he would not have been circumcised.
Yes, Ishmael worshipped Abraham's God.
