'''The Abrahamic religions''' are a group of monotheistic religions that strictly endorse worship of the [[Yahweh|God of Abraham]]. These most notably include [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], as well as the [[Baháʼí Faith]], [[Samaritanism]], the [[Druze Faith]], and others. The namesake for this group's identity is [[Abraham]], a Hebrew patriarch and [[prophet]] who is extensively mentioned in many prominent Abrahamic scriptures, such as the [[Bible]], the [[Quran]], and the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. | '''The Abrahamic religions''' are a group of monotheistic religions that strictly endorse worship of the [[Yahweh|God of Abraham]].

Jewish tradition claims that the Twelve Tribes of Israel are descended from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob, whose sons collectively formed the nation of the Israelites in Canaan; Islamic tradition claims that twelve Arab tribes known as the Ishmaelites are descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael in Arabia; Bahá'í tradition claims that Baháʼu'lláh was a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah. After a century of archaeological investigation, no evidence has been found for these historical patriarchs. Most scholars believe the story of Abraham originated in the 6th century BCE, and that the Book of Genesis does not represent historical events. | Jewish tradition claims that the Twelve Tribes of Israel are descended from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob, whose sons collectively formed the nation of the Israelites in Canaan; Islamic tradition claims that twelve Arab tribes known as the Ishmaelites are descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael in Arabia; Bahá'í tradition claims that Baháʼu'lláh was a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah.
