For my knowledge, please tell me briefly about 'Abrahamic monotheistic religions'?

Answer 1

1. They believe Abraham was a prophet.
2. They believe in one God.

That's about it. The four usually listed are Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Baha'i.

There's gobs more in common betwen them, but that's the short version.

Answer 2

Special revelation. God as creator brings a revelation not through nature, but by revealing Himself to Abram of Ur. He told Abram to leave his father and go west with his wife. Much later, after getting rid of his nephew, Lot, God further makes a blood covenant with Abram and after much refinement changes his name to Abraham.
He is the patriarchal father of Jews, Muslims, and Christians. They all accept the special revelation to Abraham and his covenant, and worship One God : monotheistic...

Answer 3

Jews, Christians, Muslims, they all worship the God of Abraham.

Answer 4

judaism - following the law and doing good deeds to make the world a better place, afterlife is not very important

christianity - no law, believing in jesus matters more, MUST get into heaven and not hell

islam - much of the law is followed, mohammed as spiritual leader, MUST get into heaven and not hell

Answer 5

I think you've heard enough about Christianity.. and I don't know much about the Jewish religion.

Answer 6

briefly... tell me you just crawled out from under a rock.

Answer 7

Answer 8

These are the Verses Of Quran....many of them are Probably out of contexts for full information about verse just see the before and after verses of the verse...i gave the word Abraham in my PC Quran and all the verses about Abraham appeared.....lets take a look at whos Abraham according to Islam.,...and whats was his religion...i haven't read Quran yet but the verse about Abraham i Like is this one..006:074] Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."[006:075] So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.[006:076] When the night covered him over, He saw a star: He said: "This is my Lord." But when it set, He said: "I love not those that set."[006:077] When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said: "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."[006:078] When he saw the sun rising in splendour, he said: "This is my Lord; this is the greatest (of all)." But when the sun set, he said: "O my people! I am indeed free from your (guilt) of giving partners to God.[006:079] "For me, I have set my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I give partners to God."[006:080] His people disputed with him. He said: "(Come) ye to dispute with me, about God, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with God: Unless my Lord willeth, (nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves) be admonished?[006:081] "How should I fear (the beings) ye associate with God, when ye fear not to give partners to God without any warrant having been given to you? Which of (us) two parties hath more right to security? (tell me) if ye know.







[002:124] And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-

[002:125] Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).

[002:126] And remember Abraham said: "My Lord, make this a City of Peace, and feed its people with fruits,-such of them as believe in God and the Last Day." He said: "(Yea), and such as reject Faith,-for a while will I grant them their pleasure, but will soon drive them to the torment of Fire,- an evil destination (indeed)!"

[002:127] And remember Abraham and Isma'il raised the foundations of the House (With this prayer): "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us: For Thou art the All-Hearing, the All-knowing.

[002:128] "Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

[002:129] "Our Lord! send amongst them an Apostle of their own, who shall rehearse Thy Signs to them and instruct them in scripture and wisdom, and sanctify them: For Thou art the Exalted in Might, the Wise."


[002:130] And who turns away from the religion of Abraham but such as debase their souls with folly? Him We chose and rendered pure in this world: And he will be in the Hereafter in the ranks of the Righteous.

[002:132] And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! God hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."

[002:133] Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: "What will ye worship after me?" They said: "We shall worship Thy God and the God of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma'il and Isaac,- the one (True) God: To Him we bow (in Islam)."

[002:135] They say: "Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation)." Say thou: "Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God."

[002:136] Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them:

[002:140] Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma'il Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know better than God? Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from God? but God is not unmindful of what ye do!

[002:258] Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because God had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is God that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth God Give guidance to a people unjust.


[002:260] Behold! Abraham said: "My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead." He said: "Dost thou not then believe?" He said: "Yea! but to satisfy My own undertaking." He said: "Take four birds; Tame them to turn to thee; put a portion of them on every hill and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with speed. Then know that God is Exalted in Power, Wise."


[003:033] God did choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of 'Imran above all people,-

[003:065] Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding?

[003:067] Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to God's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with God.

[003:068] Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Apostle and those who believe: And God is the Protector of those who have faith.

[003:084] Say: "We believe in God, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)."


[003:095] Say: "God speaketh the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith; he was not of the Pagans."

[003:097] In it are Signs Manifest; (for example), the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; Pilgrimage thereto is a duty men owe to God,- those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith, God stands not in need of any of His creatures.

[004:054] Or do they envy mankind for what God hath given them of his bounty? but We had already given the people of Abraham the Book and Wisdom, and conferred upon them a great kingdom.

[004:125] Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend.

[004:163] We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms.

[006:074] Lo! Abraham said to his father Azar: "Takest thou idols for gods? For I see thee and thy people in manifest error."

[006:075] So also did We show Abraham the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth, that he might (with understanding) have certitude.

[006:083] That was the reasoning about Us, which We gave to Abraham (to use) against his people: We raise whom We will, degree after degree: for thy Lord is full of wisdom and knowledge.

[006:161] Say: "Verily, my Lord hath guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path (trod) by Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with God."

[009:070] Hath not the story reached them of those before them?- the People of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud; the People of Abraham, the men of Midian, and the cities overthrown. To them came their apostles with clear signs. It is not God Who wrongs them, but they wrong their own souls.

[009:114] And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to God, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.

[011:069] There came Our messengers to Abraham with glad tidings. They said, "Peace!" He answered, "Peace!" and hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.

[011:074] When fear had passed from (the mind of) Abraham and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with us for Lut's people.

[011:075] For Abraham was, without doubt, forbearing (of faults), compassionate, and given to look to God.

[011:076] O Abraham! Seek not this. The decree of thy Lord hath gone forth: for them there cometh a penalty that cannot be turned back!

[012:006] "Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favour to thee and to the posterity of Jacob - even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime! for God is full of know ledge and wisdom."

[012:038] "And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to God: that (comes) of the grace of God to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful.

[014:035] Remember Abraham said: "O my Lord! make this city one of peace and security: and preserve me and my sons from worshipping idols.

[015:051] Tell them about the guests of Abraham.

[015:057] Abraham said: "What then is the business on which ye (have come), O ye messengers (of God)?"

[016:120] Abraham was indeed a model, devoutly obedient to God, (and) true in Faith, and he joined not gods with God:

[016:123] So We have taught thee the inspired (Message), "Follow the ways of Abraham the True in Faith, and he joined not gods with God."

[019:041] (Also mention in the Book (the story of) Abraham: He was a man of Truth, a prophet.

[019:046] (The father) replied: "Dost thou hate my gods, O Abraham? If thou forbear not, I will indeed stone thee: Now get away from me for a good long while!"

[019:047] Abraham said: "Peace be on thee: I will pray to my Lord for thy forgiveness: for He is to me Most Gracious.

[019:058] Those were some of the prophets on whom God did bestow His Grace,- of the posterity of Adam, and of those who We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose. Whenever the Signs of (God) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears.

[021:051] We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were We acquainted with him.

[021:060] They said, "We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham."

[021:062] They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?"

[021:066] (Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides God, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?

[021:069] We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"

[022:026] Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House, (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).

[022:043] Those of Abraham and Lut;

[022:078] And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Apostle may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to God! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!


[026:070] And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.

[029:016] And (We also saved) Abraham: behold, he said to his people, "Serve God and fear Him: that will be best for you- If ye understand!

[029:024] So naught was the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." But God did save him from the Fire. Verily in this are Signs for people who believe.

[029:027] And We gave (Abraham) Isaac and Jacob, and ordained among his progeny Prophethood and Revelation, and We granted him his reward in this life; and he was in the Hereafter (of the company) of the Righteous.

[029:031] When Our Messengers came to Abraham with the good news, they said: "We are indeed going to destroy the people of this township: for truly they are (addicted to) crime."

[033:007] And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant:

[037:083] Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.

[037:104] We called out to him "O Abraham!

[037:109] "Peace and salutation to Abraham!"

[038:045] And commemorate Our Servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, possessors of Power and Vision.

[042:013] The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than God, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. God chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).

[043:026] Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:

[051:024] Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?

[051:031] (Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"

[053:037] And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?-

[057:026] And We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and Revelation: and some of them were on right guidance. But many of them became rebellious transgressors.

[060:004] There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides God: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in God and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from God." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal.

[087:019] The Books of Abraham and Moses.

[002:124] And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands, which he fulfilled: He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the Nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But My Promise is not within the reach of evil-

[002:125] Remember We made the House a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma'il, that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or use it as a retreat, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).
