Ishmael é um personagem no Moby-Dick (1851) de Herman Melville, que se inicia com a frase "Call me Ishmael." Ele é o narrador em primeira pessoa do livro. Como Ishmael tem um papel menor na trama, os primeiros críticos de Moby-Dick assumiram que o Capitão Ahab era o protagonista. Muitos ou confundiram Ishmael com Melville ou desprezaram o papel que ele desempenhou. Críticos posteriores distinguiram Ishmael de Melville, e alguns viram sua consciência mística e especulativa como a força central do romance em vez da força de vontade monomaníaca do Capitão Ahab.
“And when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, (Abraham prayed): Our Lord! Accept from us (this duty). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Hearer, the Knower.”
“Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.”
“The angel of the LORD said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. 12"He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers."”
“As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.”
