Best Answer

Abraham was the "father" of the three major religions because it was from his "seed" that the Founders of each religion descended:

Abraham & Sarah begat Isaac from whose line came Moses & Jesus (Judaism & Christianity)

Abraham & Hagar begat Ishmael from whose line came Muhammad (Islam)
