Abraham is highly regarded as a patriarch in the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is seen as the founder of the special relationship between the Jews and God, the spiritual forefather of all believers, and a prophet in the lineage leading to Muhammad in Islam. The narrative in the Book of Genesis portrays Abraham being called by God to leave his father’s house and settle in Canaan, where God promises the land to him and his descendants. Abraham’s actions in securing land rights and his relationships with his sons are significant aspects of his life.
