The Christian understanding (ask Rav if this is also the Jewish understanding) is that in this case God promised to Abraham that he would blessing him, not just with a son (Ishmael, his son through Hagar is no less Abraham's son than Isaac), but that he would bless him with a son through Sarah. Ishmael is not Sarah's son and so cannot inherit what was promised to Abraham's son that God was going to give him through Sarah.

This is correct, Allah made a special covenant with Ibrahim (Alaihi salaam) and his descendants:
And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." (2:124)
However, as you may well know, the covenants and laws which Allah made with the past nations have all been abrogated with the revelation of the Holy Quran and the coming of the final prophet Muhammad (Alaihi salaatu wa salaam). Now the final covenant is to believe in Allah and His Messenger. Regarding the holy land of Jerusalem, it has been promised to the Muslims, and we alone have the divine right to own it:
And He made you inherit their land and their houses and their wealth, and also a land on which you have not yet set foot. And Allah has power over all things. (33:27)
