well, he didn't really. his father brought him to the king who had him thrown into the fire <what a doting parent>.
Abraham did destroy his father's idols though.
his father put him in charge of caring for the idols, and Abraham tried to discourage people from bringing them offerings.
then he destroyed all the idols and put the axe in the biggest idol's hand.
when his father returned home, he was very angry and asked what had happened.
Abraham then told his father the biggest idol had destroyed all the others.
his father was outraged.
"they are stone he screamed "they can not move!"
"if that is so" Abraham replied "how can you worship it?"
Abraham, isaac, jacob, mosesAnswer:You meant to ask "Who are the forefathers of Judaism." There are only three (Talmud, Berakhot 16b); and they are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Only in a private religious school.
Jewish tradition and scripture hold that Abraham was the Father of the Hebrew people. The only source for this belief is the Torah.
God did not offer Abraham any "religion" in the sense of a defined philosophy with a name. He only made the covenant. Abraham was made to understand that there was only one God, whom he had to trust. In return, God would bless him, and would eventually bless the whole world through Abraham's descendants. There were no rituals. There was not even a moral code. All that came later.
Most religions teach moral behaviour. Religion is not, of course, the only way to learn to distinguish right from wrong, but it can help.
sachin tendulkur is only the father of modern cricket.... "if cricket is a religion sachin is a god"
The question may refer to the names "Jacob" and "Israel" for the same biblical person.But "father of the Hebrew people" is a debatable title for him, since the syllable "AV" in thename of Jacob's grandfather Abraham translates as "father", and Abraham is indeed consideredto have been the father of Judaism.
The Arab people and tribes are descendents of Abraham, not all Muslims are decedents of Ishmael, only the Arab people are the descendants of Ishmael who was one of the sons of Abraham, the other being Isaac. Ishmael is also known as the father of Arabs.
Mother and father are equals. Only in heavy discussions the word of the mother is final.
Isaac was the only son of Abraham and Sarah. Genesis 21:2, 3: So Sarah became pregnant and then bore a son to Abraham in his old age at the appointed time God had promised him. 3 Abraham named his newborn son, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
A religion that does not teach forgiveness is hardly a religion, because every religion must teach forgiveness, and they do. Religions are kindergartens - all religions are good, they teach us the ABC of God, they teach us about being good, about loving our fellow men, about giving and forgiving but unfortunately religions are only kindergartens, they only teach us the basics. Just like we go beyond a kindergarten to school and to pre-university and university we have to graduate in the university called spirituality. Spirituality is not a religion, we don't have to change our religion but we have to go beyond the kindergarten of religion to realize the Truth about God. Forgiveness is just one simple step. Not only must we forgive, but we must also love and become compassionate, kind and we must realize that the one we are trying to forgive is none other than the Divine Spirit that is in us: we are all part of the same Divine.
Abraham diden't know about Judaism, how-ever, he's the first man that obey to work only one god in the Bible, that happen in Beer-Sheba land of Knaan. Abraham=Avraam= Avram=Abram=Ibrahim=father of people, become the first ancestor of Jewish and Muslims as the father of Izaak & Ishmael
