Abraham, or Abram as he was called before his encounter with God, was the father of Judaism, and God had promised him that his descendants would be "as numerous as the stars in the sky..., and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed". When Jesus died for sins, many Jews decided to follow His teachings and His ways. Then when we go to the Middle East and areas around that, we have Mohammad ascend into heaven, and any Jews or Christians around there surely became followers of Islam.
