2 | Was Abraham a Muslim? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 9004 | ||
Abraham was the son of Terah, a descendent of Shem. Shem is the ancestor of Isreal, and was rewarded for a special relationship with God. Abraham was known as the first great patriarch of Isreal - an Isrealite, not a Muslim. He is, however, revered by the Muslims and the Christians as the epitome of human faith. He has been called the pioneer of trust in God. Terah, Abraham's father, was portrayed by ancient rabbinic interpreters as a manufacturer and worshiper of idols, which goes with God's command to Abraham to leave his father's house. prayon |

3 | Was Abraham a Muslim? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 9006 | ||
The Bible conflicts with the Quran by stating that Abraham was not a Muslim. The Bible was inspired by God (2 Tim. 3:16, Psalm 12:6), so the Quran must be in error. Righteousness was attributed to Abraham because Abraham believed God (Hebrews 11:8-12). Abraham was not a Muslim, he simply believed in God- the same God who sent His only Son to die for us! The beginning of the 'Muslim' connection to Abraham is generally attributed to that of Ishmael, Abraham's son by Hagar. Abraham was an Israelite- the father of all the Israelites! Abraham was not a Muslim, and the Muslim faith did not exist during the lifetime of Abraham. Prayon gave an excellent response to this question! Nolan |
