Detailed explanation-1: -Jews regard Abraham (as he was later called) as the first Patriarch of the Jewish people. Abraham was the first person to teach the idea that there was only one God; before then, people believed in many gods. Ironically, Abraham’s father, Terach, had made his living selling idols of various gods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Historically, Abraham became known as “The Father of Many Nations” through a promise given to him by God. Throughout history, he has been venerated by three different religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It was Abraham’s faith in the “one true living God” that has built kingdoms and divided nations.
Detailed explanation-3: -As recounted in the Torah, his name was originally Avram which means “High Father”-“av” () “father", “ram” () “high”-with the “ha” () added in mark of his covenant with God.
