Abraham, Sarah and Hagar, Bible illustration from 1897

Abraham was a Israelite prophet and was viewed as a father figure to the Hebrew people. He is revered by three separate religions, these being Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He demonstrated his unwavering faith and devotion to God by being willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. For his devotion God made a covenant with Abraham where he  promised Abraham a vast linage and the land of Canaan for his descendants to inherit.
