What was the religion of abraham?

Abrahamic religions are judaism, chrisianity and islam as abraham is a common ancestor and prophet.
My question is what was the religion of abraham?

As I thought. Exactly but I don't want to argue here so consider yourself on ignore Mr Online Bully. I thought it'd be clean conversation but sadly it's not.

the Bible doesn't really state Abrahams or anybodies religion. it just talks about the people who did believe

Judaism,Christianity,Islam wasn't found yet when Abraham was still alive.

Abraham just believed in God.

LOL...he experienced life without religion...he just had faith in God.

The Origin in the right faith is to believe in one God without any partners. Ibraham did that without believing in Jesus as a son of God or as a God so he isn't Christian. He isn't Jewish either because he didn't disbelieve in Jesus as a prophet nor as the Messiah. He believed in God as one without any partners which is the Islamic way, therefore he was Muslim.

Dear fantastic,

Abraham didn't believe in Jesus for the simple fact that Jesus wasn't born yet.

He wasn't Jewish because Israel wasn't found yet.It was found by his grandson Jacob whose name was changed to Israel therefore giving birth to Israelite.
By the way in Judaism Jesus is not considered as the Messiah.That's one other common things Islam has with Judaism.

If Abraham was Muslim then he'd have to believe that there is only one God and and Mohamed is his prophet.Did he believe in the prophet Mohamed?

You see both Jesus nor Mohamed wasn't born yet.

Who said Islam doesn't believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Where you get that from?

Islam does believe Jesus is the Messiah and it's in the Quran. But Islam doesn't believe that Jesus is God or son of God.

In order to get the the full conception about Islam, you got to know what is the exact definition of the word Islam. Islam means acceptance of and submission to God, and believers must demonstrate this by worshipping him, following his commands, and avoiding polytheism and that's what Abraham did.

So Islam existed since then but the difference is, Prophet Mohammed came at the end and spread the message so it became a must to believe in him as the last prophet of Allah (God)and his servant as well.

**By the way in Judaism Jesus is not considered as the Messiah.That's one other common things Islam has with Judaism.**

marianna
That's wrong...
Islam identifies Jesus to be the Messiah, the Quran refers to him as the Messiah many times :
(The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger; messengers before him had indeed passed away) Quran(5:75)
(But the Messiah said, O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.) (Quran 5:72)
One of the explanation of the Messiah is because Jesus anointed the eyes of the blind to cure them (with God's will of course).

***My question is what was the religion of abraham?***

He was the original monotheist... his lineage was forked, because of the two women who bore his offspring (Sarah, his wife -- Hagar, Sarah's servant). His decendants (in theory) were the founders of Judaism, and Islam respectively.

***By the way in Judaism Jesus is not considered as the Messiah.That's one other common things Islam has with Judaism.***

...you... don't know much about Islam, hmmm?

***But Islam doesn't believe that Jesus is God or son of God.***

I find that odd, since according Qur'an, Allah DID cause Mary to immaculately conceive. [AL-E-IMRAN 003.047]

Oh snap I'm so sorry yeah your right I asked my mum...she said Jesus is considered as the Messiah just not the Son of God.Absolutely right.Very sorry for the mistake.I thought the messiah meant that Jesus was the Son of God or divine.It turns out it just means the saviour.

My bad guys thanks for the correction.

So sorry dear fantastic no mean to disrespect.

***But Islam doesn't believe that Jesus is God or son of God.***

***I find that odd, since according Qur'an, Allah DID cause Mary to immaculately conceive. [AL-E-IMRAN 003.047]***

Ok what the verse has to do with what you're refering to? It doesn't mean that he is the son Of God at all.

Islam believes in the Miraculous birth of Jesus and how he was born without a father. Not only that, Islam also believe that Mary is the chosen woman by Allah (God) to be pure and chaste.

I'd also like to say something about the miraculous birth of Jesus.

Allah (God) makes rules in this life and break it to show that he is capable of doing anything.

Our rule in this case is, having a mother and a father to have a child. The rule was broken 2 times before Jesus. How come? Let me explain. Have you ever wondered who was Adam's father? He has No father. Ok, have you ever wondered who was Adam's mother? He has no mother so this is even more miraculous.

How about Eve? Who was her father? She was created from the left Twisted rib of Adam as we all know so she had a father but she had no mother. So the rule was broken in 2 different ways. First one without a mother and a father. Second, one without a mother but witha father so there is another way left to break this rule which is having a child from a mother and without a father which was Jesus.

To marianna86, There is no problem at all. As long as we are breathing we're learning so don't worry about it at all.

Abraham was probably a follower of either Judaism or the precursor to it (I forget its name), since Christianity and Islam weren't around until much later in history.

***It doesn't mean that he is the son Of God at all.***

And it doesn't mean that he ISN'T either... Pregnancy requires some sort of stimuli from an outside source to occur, in this case, God provided it, so that means God is the father.

***Allah (God) makes rules in this life and break it to show that he is capable of doing anything.***

Oh, so God is a show-off... how arrogant...

***we all know so she had a father but she had no mother.***

...we all know? Exactly WHO are you claiming is her father? Adam? So you think the world was populated by one guy nailing his own daughter? Wow... you should at least TRY to think a little more figuratively.

By the way, you actually 'know' NOTHING about Adam and Eve, since none of the information can be verified. You have no way of 'knowing' if the story is true or false, literal or figurative. You can only choose to BELIEVE one or the other...

I see you taking this too far. Don't you think you're starting to offend?

It's stated in the Quran that he isn't son of God or God. Who said God need to show off? Stop putting words in my mouth. and if you want to claim something, claim it on your own not by belonging it to others.

Allah (God ) has no similarity and he can't have a father or a mother or a son. If you think your hermit shouldn't have a son or have a wife because he is so religious then you better think that about your creator because he is the creator of you, him, everyone else, and everything else.

And also take it easy, it seems that you are one of these dudes who plays video games and takes his anger out on online people. I recommend going to these video games forums. It's perfect for you!

Here the story of Mary and her miraculous birth to jusus :
((And mention) when the angels said, ‘O Mary, indeed God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and in the Hereafter, and of those who are near to God.’ ‘He will speak to the people in the cradle, and in old age, and he will be of the righteous.’ She said, ‘My Lord, how can I have a son when no man has touched me.’ He said, ‘So (it will be,) for God creates what He wants. When He decides something, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. And He will teach him the Book and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel. And (will make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel (saying), ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. I make for you out of clay the likeness of a bird, then breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by the permission of God. And I heal the blind and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by the permission of God. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Surely, there is a sign for you in that, if you are believers. And (I have come) confirming the Torah that was (revealed) before me, and to allow you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a proof from your Lord, so fear God and obey me. Indeed, God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is the straight path.” )(Quran 3:45-51)

***I see you taking this too far. Don't you think you're starting to offend?***

...you offended because I'm right? Typical...

***It's stated in the Quran that he isn't son of God or God.***

...where?

***Who said God need to show off? Stop putting words in my mouth.***

YOU said he did it just to show that he could... that IS showing off. And if you didn't want that impression to be given, you should've thought of a better response.

***and if you want to claim something, claim it on your own not by belonging it to others.***

You should provide better answers that don't bear negative connotation.

***Allah (God ) has no similarity and he can't have a father or a mother or a son.***

...he CAN'T huh? Who are YOU to place limits on God?

***If you think your hermit shouldn't have a son or have a wife because he is so religious then you better think that about your creator because he is the creator of you, him, everyone else, and everything else.***

Nice run-on sentence. You should re-phrase it so that it actually makes sense. And no god created me, my parents did... try thinking up some original nonsense to spout. You're covering no new territory here.

***And also take it easy, it seems that you are one of these dudes who plays video games and takes his anger out on online people. I recommend going to these video games forums. It's perfect for you!***

It seems you are just another religious idiot who doesn't think before you speak. You pontificate while contradicting your own faith... think harder...

To mouici, thanks a lot for providing the translation. I wonder where you get it from because it's really hard to translate on your own.

***As I thought. Exactly but I don't want to argue here so consider yourself on ignore Mr Online Bully. I thought it'd be clean conversation but sadly it's not.***

You use the term 'thought' far too casually, Mr. Cliche. You're just making excuses to avoid answering questions that YOU DON'T HAVE ANSWERS FOR... all too common...

Mr.Online Bully lol..aww...don't think his a bully just has very strong opinions...actually consider him a blessing...if you can beat him in an argument that's an A+ because he makes you think and think and think and thats a good thing right??anyone with me???hellow...guys...??ok maybe not...but awww...

Oh and thanx for explaining to me Mouici...about the Prophet Mohammed your right it is two different things to be considered divine and to be a prophet.

(:-)Peace y'all~

owww my God listen to this guys...Abraham's papa made a living out of selling idol carvings...I was reading this book ...not really bout Abraham just a few notable people in the bible and it mentioned something bout Abraham's dad selling idol carvings...lol...but yeah gotta find the verse somewhere...actually when God appeared to him to Abraham it was a foreign God...like this guy seriously didn't know who God was...I mean duhh there were no bibles or Al-quran at his time...he just trusted in a foreign God to take him to the promised land.

That's why he was called the Father of all those who believes.

okay y'all knock yourself out thrashing my post in case I made a mistake (:-)

Nah Marinna, that's now how I look at it. Opinions need to be shown in a good manner, don't you think?

And I didn't start an argument anyway so I can win it or lose it and even if I lost an argument online or even won it, what would this do?

You may ask about Islam and I'd do my best to answer it by searching, asking but once I feel the conversation is getting heated, I'll stop. Online arguments are very pointless in my opinion.

Clean conversation based on knowledge and respect would be awesome and I would go for it but I don't want to argue even if it will seem that I lost something I didn't even get in lol. But yea, thanks for your notice

That's one of the verses in Quran that proves God doesn't have a son.

018.001 Praise be to God, Who hath sent to His Servant the Book, and hath allowed therein no Crookedness:

018.002 (He hath made it) Straight (and Clear) in order that He may warn (the godless) of a terrible Punishment from Him, and that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,

018.003 Wherein they shall remain for ever:

018.004 Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, God hath begotten a son:

018.005 No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!

I may provide more.
