Jews say that Abraham is the father of their faith and the genetic ancestor of their people.
Muslims say that Abraham was a prophet in their faith (though not the founder) and the genetic ancestor of the Arab people (who are now mostly Muslim), but not necessarily all Muslims.
Christians consider Abraham to be their spiritual ancestor but do not consider him to have founded Christianity or to be the actual ancestor to most Christians.
