its because of the claim as the legal hier of Abraham. Abraham had 2 sons: Ismail and Isaac. Ismail was elder one from Abraham's maid servant and Isaac was from Sara, Abraham's wife Now, Arabs (Muslims) are descendants of Ismail whereas Jews and Christians are descendants of Isaac. And this simple thing causes all the brothers to fight against each other.
The Jews. Muslims also claim lineage from Abraham.
Abraham was the christians father in faith and a person honored by the Muslims
SAME FATHER: ABRAHAM MOTHER: SARAH - CHRISTIANS - ISAAC DECENDANTS MOTHER: HAGAR - MUSLIMS - ISMAEL DECENDANTS
Abraham.
All three religions argue that they are descendants of ABRAHAM.The Jews argue that they are descendants of Abraham through his grandson Jacob. The Christians argue that they are connected to Abraham through being spiritually grafted into Jewish community via Jesus Christ's sacrifice. The Muslims argue that they are descendants of Abraham (called Ibrahim in Arabic) by the fact that Muhammad was a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael.
Jews, Christians, and Muslims agree they are all descendant from Abraham. However, Christians and Jews specifically believe they are descendant from Isaac, Abraham's second son who is believed to be the son God promised Abraham and his wife. The Muslims believe they are specifically descendant from Ishmael, Abraham's first son. Thus the line of Isaac and the line of Ishmael continue to fight over the Holy Land. To understand this better, read from Genesis, ch. 16 and on. (This in the Old Testament/ Torah [The book of the Jews or the first half of the bible]. I am not sure if this is included in the Koran [The book of the Muslims]).
Arabs are mainly Muslims, Christians, and/or Jews. All of them worship the same God (Allah in Arabic) worshiped by prophet Abraham (Ibrahim in Arabic).
Because these religions believe in only one god unlike other religions. No I am not against any other religion I was brought up to treat everyone equally. Just stating the facts. ___________________________________________________________________ Christians and Jews are followers of Christianity and Judaism through the descendants of Isaac. Muslims are followers oif Islam through the descendants of Ismael. Both Isaac and Ismael are brothers and sons of prophet Abraham (PBUH).
No one worships Abraham, however, he is significant to Jews, Christians and Muslims. All three faiths can link themselves back to Abraham.
To Jews, Abraham was the founding Patriarch, while Jesus and Muhammad, although good men, were not important in their faith. To Christians, Jesus was the Son of God, while Muhammad was merely a man who sought to add his views to the religion. To some fundamentalist Christians, Muhammad was an imposter. To Muslims, Abraham and Jesus were great prophets, but Muhammad was the last and greatest of the prophets.
The Muslims believe in all the holy prophets (May peace be upon them all). The Christians also recognize Hazrat Abraham AS and many others born before Hazrat Jesus Christ AS.
