Abrahm (Abraham) was important for three reasons.
1. He was the father of the Jewish race.
2. He fathered a Son out of wedlock with a servant woman. The sons name was Ishmal. This man sired many generations eventually leading to Mohamed.
3. He fathered a Son with his wife. That sons name was Issac. Issac sired many generations that eventually led to King David and Jesus of Nazareth. (Christ)

Abraham is important to the Jews because he was the first to declare his belief in one G-d
he smashed the idols his father sold and then left his family to live a religious life
and too, G-d made him the promise that his children and his children's children would be a great nation
he's one of the great patriarchs of the Jews
but at the same time....he had TWO sons, didn't he?
and his other son was also promised a great nation, which eventually would become the people that would embrace the Muslim religion....
and the Christians took their basic beliefs from the Jews....

Abraham is indeed the father of Isaac and Jacob and through Sarah, and is the father of Ishmael through Sarah s maidservant Hagar. The promised Christ, who is Jesus comes through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but not through Ishmael. God Almighty did, however, promise to make the descendants of Ishmael into a great nation.

Quran 2: 136
Say ye: "We believe, in Allah 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 and we bow to Allah (in Islam)."

He was the father of the Prophets.
Quran: [al-An’aam 6:84-86]
“And We bestowed upon him Ishaaq (Isaac) and Ya‘qoob (Jacob), each of them We guided, and before him, We guided Nooh (Noah), and among his progeny Dawood (David), Sulaymaan (Solomon), Ayyoob (Job), Yoosuf (Joseph), Moosa (Moses), and Haaroon (Aaron). Thus do We reward Al-Muhsinoon (the good-doers).
And Zakariyya (Zachariya), and Yahya (John) and ‘Eesa (Jesus) and Ilyaas (Elias), each one of them was of the righteous.
And Isma‘eel (Ishmael) and Al-Yasaa‘ (Elisha), and Yoonus (Jonah) and Loot (Lot), and each one of them We preferred above the ‘Aalameen [mankind and jinn (of their times)]”
