Because they are Jewish Prophets. Moses led them out of egypt with Gods help. And gave them the commandments. Abraham spoke to God too. They both made covenents with God that is the basis of Jewish law.

Because Moses and Abraham are both significant to God. They were both given promises by God. Abraham was even granted a covenant by God, the land that is now Israel. The reason for all of the fighting is because of the other son of Abraham and his descendants, they want all that was promised to Issac. Abraham had a son with his maid Haggar and she had a son named Ishmael. They were both kicked out of Abraham's camp when Issac was weaned. There has been bad blood ever since.

abraham is the father of the jewish people. moses was the transcriber of the torah, and the greatest prophet who ever lived, which is why the torah ends with "never again did there arise in israel a prophet like moses..."

They only believe on the Old Testament.They are still waiting for the Messiah. Moses and Abraham give them their identity.

Then why not ask why Jesus is important to Christians today, Buddha to Buddhists, Mohammed to Muslims. Krishna etc etc. My answer is the world is full of people who need something to cling onto.

all of them are prophets in which they have appeared in their book! its not a matter of today tomorrow or yesterday! its going to always be there! and i believe they are important to Christians and Muslims too! because they were prophets ages ago and each prophet's story actually carries a lesson of morality!
I hope that helped ya?
