| == Significance ==
| |
| * '''Judaism''': first covenant (brit milah); binding of Isaac (Akedah) as supreme test of faith.
| |
| * '''Christianity''': exemplar of justification by faith (Romans 4).
| |
| * '''Islam''': builder of the Kaaba with Ishmael (Qur'an 2:127), whose pure monotheism (hanif) precedes both Judaism and Christianity; the Eid al-Adha sacrifice commemorates his submission.

| == Political-theological use ==
| |
| As common ancestor, Abraham grounds the "Abrahamic" framing of interfaith politics. Haz Al-Din's work on Islam and communism treats Ibrahimic monotheism as the original break with idolatry — including economic idolatry — making the Abrahamic lineage relevant to the critique of finance capital (see [[Tawhid]], [[Muhammad]], [[Communism is Islam]]).
