Abraham

Abraham, also known as Avraham in Hebrew (אַבְרָהָם), is a prominent figure in the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is recognized as the founding patriarch of the Israelites, Arabs, and Ishmaelites, and is revered for his faith and obedience to God. In the Hebrew Bible, Abraham is described as the son of Terah and the father of Isaac, through whom the covenant between God and the Israelites is established. The Quran also holds Abraham in high regard, acknowledging him as a prophet and an exemplar of submission to God's will. In Arabic, Abraham is referred to as Ibrahim (إِبْرَاهِيم). Key events in Abraham's life, such as the binding of Isaac (or Ishmael in Islamic tradition) and the covenant of circumcision, are central to the religious narratives and have significant theological implications. Abraham's legacy continues to influence religious practices and beliefs across various cultures and traditions.
