Abraham
Geburtstag: 1813 v.Chr
Todesdatum: 1638 v.Chr
Abraham ist als Stammvater Israels eine zentrale Figur des Tanach bzw. des Alten Testaments. Er gilt auch als Stammvater der Araber; von seinem Sohn Ismael soll der Prophet des Islam, Mohammed, abstammen . Abrahams Geschichte wird im biblischen Buch Genesis bzw. Bereschit erzählt. Danach gehört er zusammen mit seinem Sohn Isaak und seinem Enkel Jakob zu den Erzvätern, aus denen laut biblischer Überlieferung die Zwölf Stämme des Volkes Israel hervorgingen.
Da sich sowohl Judentum, Christentum als auch Islam auf Abraham als ihren Stammvater beziehen, bezeichnet man sie auch als die drei abrahamitischen Religionen.
Zitate Abraham
„Durch den Glauben opferte Abraham den Isaak, da er versucht ward, und gab dahin den Eingeborenen, da er schon die Verheißungen empfangen hatte, von welchem gesagt war: "In Isaak wird dir dein Same genannt werden"; und dachte, Gott kann auch wohl von den Toten auferwecken; daher er auch ihn zum Vorbilde wiederbekam.“

„Wir glauben an Allah und was zu uns herabgesandt worden, und was herabgesandt ward Abraham und Ismael und Isaak und Jakob und (seinen) Kindern, und was gegeben ward Moses und Jesus, und was gegeben ward (allen anderen) Propheten von ihrem Herrn. Wir machen keinen Unterschied zwischen ihnen; und Ihm ergeben wir uns.“

Sure 2, 136 (Ahmadiyya) Onlinetext
„Durch den Glauben ward gehorsam Abraham, da er berufen ward, auszugehen in das Land, das er ererben sollte; und ging aus und wußte nicht wo er hinkäme. Durch den Glauben ist er ein Fremdling gewesen in dem verheißenen Lande als in einem fremden und wohnte in Hütten mit Isaak und Jakob, den Miterben derselben Verheißung; denn er wartete auf eine Stadt, die einen Grund hat, der Baumeister und Schöpfer Gott ist.“

To Abimelech in the wife-sister narrative of Genesis 20:11 - 23 (KJV)
Bible
Kontext: I thought: Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and so she became my wife. And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her: This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me: He is my brother.

Bible
Kontext: Wilt Thou indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from Thee; shall not the Judge of all the earth do justly? … Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, who am but dust and ashes. Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt Thou destroy all the city for lack of five? … Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Peradventure ten shall be found there?

Talmud
„Will you really sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are 50 righteous men within the city. Will you, then, sweep them away and not pardon the place for the sake of the 50 righteous who are inside it? It is unthinkable that you would act in this manner by putting the righteous man to death with the wicked one so that the outcome for the righteous man and the wicked is the same! It is unthinkable of you. Will the Judge of all the earth not do what is right?“
