Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Islamic Studies, grade: 1,0, San Diego State University (Institute for Religious Studies), course: The Qur'an, language: English, abstract: Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in the same God and all of them refer to one founding father. Abraham or Ibrahim, it depends from which perspective we are talking, is considered to be the progenitor of the three so-called Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam. For these great faiths, Abraham was the first human being who worshiped only one God. Jews call this God Yahwe or Elohim, Muslims call him Allah and in Christianity it is God the Father. It is true that these religions differ in their rules and duties but they do have some fundamental commonalities. All three religions are of monotheistic nature and they refer to Abraham as common founding father. Hence, it is not surprising that his figure and story can be found in their Sacred Books. As Prophet Abraham is an identification figure for all three religions, it might be interesting to discuss his role and to explore differences and commonalities of his person and his life in the different books. However, it would be beyond the scope of the following paper to allow a comparison between Prophet Abraham’s role in the Tora, in the Qur’an and his role in the Bible. Therefore, this paper is only going to focus on Abraham in the Qur’an, which represents the Islamic point of view and the Bible, which stands for the Christian perspective.

"Tapestry of Faiths: The Torah, Bible, and Quran" presents an in-depth exploration of the interconnected narratives found in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This comprehensive work is divided into sections focusing on key biblical figures: Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Each section begins with the Jewish perspective from the Torah, followed by the Christian viewpoint in the Bible, and concludes with the Islamic narrative from the Quran. Adam: Examines the creation story, the Garden of Eden, and the concept of original sin or individual accountability across the scriptures. Abraham: Discusses the call of Abraham, his trials, and the covenant with God, showcasing variations in each faith's interpretation of these events. Moses: Focuses on the life of Moses, the exodus from Egypt, and the receiving of divine laws, highlighting the role of Moses as a prophet and leader. Jesus: Presents the Christian narrative of Jesus's life and teachings, contrasted with his portrayal as a prophet in Islam, while noting his absence in Jewish scripture. This book is more than just a collection of stories; it is a journey through the spiritual and historical landscapes of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It aims to provide readers with a greater appreciation of these religions' complexities, commonalities, and differences, thereby promoting a dialogue of understanding and respect. The book is an invaluable resource for scholars, interfaith groups, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of religious narratives that have shaped civilizations and beliefs.

The history of the Semitic Religion tells us people belonging to world's three great monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam have inherited their faith from Abraham. Their holy scriptures-both Bible and Quran also mentioned Abraham as the father of many nations. He was also called the friend of God because he overcame many difficult trials as it is believed by the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims equally, is to sacrifice his only son of his old age by the command of God. They also believe equally God commanded Abraham to stop when he was ready with a knife to kill his tied-up son inside a thick bush. They also believe equally he was provided with a ram and commanded to sacrifice it in place of his son. But one thing they have differed completely is about the intended son of his sacrifice. Both the Jews and the Christian claim the intended son of Abraham's sacrifice is Isaac- his younger son through his wife Sarah while the Muslims claim he is Ishmael-his firstborn through his second wife Hagar- Sarah's Egyptian handmaid. This book describes in detail how or why this difference or discrepancy in their claim occurred based on the statements of the Bible, the Quran and the narration of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic Tradition.

Abraham compares the Biblical patriarch of Judaeo-Christian writings with the more idealized image of him found in the Quran and the Quranic Commentary of Surabadi. This volume in The Bible: An Islamic Perspective series brings this difference into focus. The Islamic Abraham is a noble, unrelenting monotheist, a Muslim in the universal sense. Unlike the Biblical Abraham, he does not temporize nor does he compromise his honor. Abraham's relations with Sarah and Hagar are reviewed, as is the identity of the sacrifice: Isaac or Ishmael? We also look at infanticide in Canaan. Other topics include: Terah or Azar, the location of Ur, Abraham and the Idols, Abraham and the Fire, and the Station of Abraham. As it is part of the Abrahamic cycle, the story of Lot and the destruction of the Cities of the Plain is examined. Abraham's story is preceded by two patriarchal stories drawn from the Quran and Islamic tradition with possible Biblical connections: the Destruction of the People of Hud and S

It was a very long time argument as regards which of the two sons of Abraham Isaac or Ishmael was used for Sacrifice. The Holy Koran mentioned Ishmael while the Holy bible mentioned Isaac. However, this story being a historical event was written by Moses whose Mentor was Jetho his father-in-law being one of the descendants of the Ishmaelites; that Isaac would have been used for the sacrifice after the departure of Ishmael with his mother. This could be the real story based on the fact that it was a recorded event which proceed the Koran and Jethro was one of Ishmaelite sources that Moses used and was a student of Jethro who had educated him much about the God of Abraham and his promise to bring his people out of Egypt which he had not learned in Egypt. He got this education and information from Jethro first and Moses sought for the opportunity before God appeared to him in the form of a burning bush The Islamic Hadith written by Prophet Mohammed confirmed that Ishmael and his mother departed from Abraham when he was sucking her breast which is quite similar to that written by Moses in Genesis. Therefore, Ishmael was used as symbol of Isaac in the Holy Koran being a prophetic book. Other story in the bible include the "KAABA" in the Holy city of Mecca based on the prophecy of Isaiah and based on the Abrahamic covenant with the nation of Ishmael called "Saudi Arabia" and many more.

This volume examines one of the most controversial stories in the Bible--the akedah, or sacrifice of Isaac recounted in the 22nd chapter of Genesis. Today, more than three thousand years later, the story continues to evoke controversy. It has had an impact on Judaism, Christianity and Islam--each clinging to different interpretations. Even among adherents of a common faith, interpretations of the passage differ to such extremes that it can be used to justify unthinkable behavior ranging from infanticide, mass murder, and suicide bombings. Abraham's actions have generated a sacrificial rhetoric that continues to exert a powerful influence on modern society. The rhetoric of sacrifice was born when the first person used the story of akedah to inspire another to sacrifice willingly on their behalf. Since then, a multitude of religious leaders and religious imposters have used the rhetoric of sacrifice to do their bidding. The akedah has proven itself as a tool that placed in the wrong hands can be used to commit unthinkable acts.

In this timely, provocative, and uplifting journey, the bestselling author of Walking the Bible searches for the man at the heart of the world’s three monotheistic religions—and today’s deadliest conflicts. At a moment when the world is asking “can the religions get along?” one figure stands out as the shared ancestor of Jews, Muslims, and Christians. One man holds the key to our deepest fears—and our possible reconciliation. Abraham is that man. Bruce Feiler set out on a personal quest to better understand our common patriarch. Traveling in war zones, climbing through caves and ancient shrines, and sitting down with the world’s leading religious minds, Feiler uncovers fascinating, little known details of the man who defines faith for half the world. Both immediate and timeless, Abraham is a powerful, universal story, the first-ever interfaith portrait of the man God chose to be his partner. Thoughtful and inspiring, it offers a rare vision of hope that will redefine what we think about our neighbors, our future, and ourselves.

Abraham on Trial questions the foundations of faith that have made a virtue out of the willingness to sacrifice a child. Through his desire to obey God at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing his son, Abraham became the definitive model of faith for the major world religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In this bold look at the legacy of this biblical and qur'anic story, Carol Delaney explores how the sacrifice rather than the protection of children became the focus of faith, to the point where the abuse and betrayal of children has today become widespread and sometimes institutionalized. Her strikingly original analysis also offers a new perspective on what unites and divides the peoples of the sibling religions derived from Abraham and, implicitly, a way to overcome the increasing violence among them. Delaney critically examines evidence from Jewish, Christian, and Muslim interpretations, from archaeology and Freudian theory, as well as a recent trial in which a father sacrificed his child in obedience to God's voice, and shows how the meaning of Abraham's story is bound up with a specific notion of fatherhood. The preeminence of the father (which is part of the meaning of the name Abraham) comes from the still operative theory of procreation in which men transmit life by means of their "seed," an image that encapsulates the generative, creative power that symbolically allies men with God. The communities of faith argue interminably about who is the true seed of Abraham, who can claim the patrimony, but until now, no one has asked what is this seed. Kinship and origin myths, the cultural construction of fatherhood and motherhood, suspicions of actual child sacrifices in ancient times, and a revisiting of Freud's Oedipus complex all contribute to Delaney's remarkably rich discussion. She shows how the story of Abraham legitimates a hierarchical structure of authority, a specific form of family, definitions of gender, and the value of obedience that have become the bedrock of society. The question she leaves us with is whether we should perpetuate this story and the lessons it teaches.
