His name is Abraham......
Abraham (Hebrew: אַבְרָהָם, Standard Avraham Ashkenazi Avrohom or Avruhom Tiberian ʾAḇrāhām ; Arabic: ابراهيم, Ibrāhīm ; Ge'ez: አብርሃም, ʾAbrəham) is regarded as the founding patriarch of the Israelites in Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition. Abraham was chosen by God to be blessed and was made into a blessing for all peoples on Earth. His life as narrated in the book of Genesis (chapters 11–25) reflects the traditions of different ages, and Abraham is not regarded a historical figure by secular scholars.
His original name was Abram (Hebrew: אַבְרָם, Standard Avram Tiberian ʾAḇrām) meaning either "exalted father" or "[my] father is exalted" (compare Abiram). Later in life he went by the name Abraham, often glossed as av hamon (goyim) "father of many (nations)" per Genesis 17:5, although it does not have any literal meaning in Hebrew.[1]
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are sometimes referred to as the "Abrahamic religions", because of the role Abraham plays in their holy books and beliefs. In the Torah and the Qur'an, Abraham is described as a patriarch blessed by God (Genesis 17:4-5). In the Jewish tradition, he is called Avraham Avinu or "Abraham, our Father". God promised Abraham that through his offspring, all the nations of the world will come to be blessed (Genesis 12:3), interpreted in Christian tradition as a reference to Christ. Jews, Christians, and Muslims consider him father of the people of Israel through his son Isaac (cf. Exodus 6:3, Exodus 32:13). For Muslims, he is a prophet of Islam and the ancestor of Muhammad through his other son Ishmael.

Abraham is the Forfather of at least 4 major monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, & Bahai.
God Told Abraham that He Would Bless anyone who would bless him, & Curse anyone who dared curse him.
Abraham tried to intercede for the cities of Sodom & Gohmorrah, because his nephew Lot lived there.
His most famous act of faith was his near sacrifice of his son Isaac to God.
