God assigned Abraham (or Ibrahim) as a prophet to call for Islam in its sense of God worship as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no father, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence. God blessed Abraham with two sons Isaac (of him descended Christianity per Jesus message and Judaism per Torah) and Ismael (from him descended Islam per prophet Muhammad message).
ÙŽQuran says (Meaning English translation):
"Who will turn away from the creed of Abraham but one dull of soul? We made him the chosen one here in the world, and one of the best in the world to come, (130) (For) when his Lord said to him: "Obey," he replied: "I submit to the Lord of all the worlds." (131) And Abraham left this legacy to his sons, and to Jacob, and said: "O my sons, God has chosen this as the faith for you. Do not die but as those who have submitted (to God)." (132) Were you present at the hour of Jacob's death? "What will you worship after me?" he asked his sons, and they answered: "We shall worship your God and the God of your fathers, of Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, the one and only God; and to Him we submit." (Quran, chapter 2, verses 130-133)
He made a covenant with god.
Nothing. God just chose him, which is a testament to God's grace. He did not make Abraham important because of a special past or a unique talent.
I believe this is the convenant that God made with Abraham to make of Abraham's family a great nation.
Genesis 17.
God promised to make Abraham into a great and blessed nation (Genesis ch.12). See also:Abraham's biographyThe covenant
In the covenant with Abraham, God made seven key promises: He promised to make Abraham the father of a great nation, to bless him and make his name great, to make his descendants numerous like the stars, to give the land of Canaan to his offspring, to be their God, to bless those who bless Abraham and curse those who curse him, and that through Abraham, all the nations of the earth would be blessed. These promises underscore God's commitment to Abraham and his lineage, establishing a foundational relationship for the Israelites.
According to the Old Testament Abraham was the founder of monotheism (believing in one god), and the father of the Jews. God had spoken to him and they concluded the first alliance -between a man and God.
In The Bible, god promised Abraham that he would make he and his people into a great nation. He also said that he would bless those that blessed Abraham and curse those whom cursed him.
Monotheism-the belief in one god
In Genesis chapter 22 God promised the land to Abraham when he was 90 years old. This would make it 1906 BC [Ussher].
It is called the "Covenant"-- the promise Abraham made with God, and God made with Abraham.
Abraham is the father of the Nation of Israel. God promised that He would make a nation from him whose descendants could not be numbered.
