The '''Abrahamic religions''' are those that can trace their history back to [[Abraham]]. Many believe that the three Abrahamic religions worship the same [[God]].<ref>[http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/029.qmt.html#029.046 Surah 29]</ref> Judaism, the first Abrahamic religion, is considered to be an [[ethnic religion]] because it was the indigenous religion of the [[Hebrew people]], but Christianity and Islam are considered to be [[universalizing religion]]s.
The significance of Abraham in [[Judaism]] and [[Christianity]] begins in [[Genesis]] 12:2, when [[God]] says to Abraham "I will make of you a great nation." According to Jews and Christians, this promise was fulfilled as Abraham's son [[Isaac]] was the father of [[Jacob]], who founded [[Israel]].
According to [[Islam]], the significance of Abraham's lineage was trough his eldest son, [[Ishmael]]. Muslims believe that [[Mohammed]] is a descendant of Abraham through this line. Muslims also believe that Abraham was the first Muslim.
