Abrahamites

Abrahamites are people who follow the religious beliefs that come from Abraham. You might know Abraham from stories in the Bible or the Quran. He was a really important person who lived a long, long time ago. He was alive thousands of years ago!

People who are Abrahamites believe that he had a special connection to God, and that he was chosen to teach people about the right way to live. Abrahamites include three main groups: Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Jews believe that Abraham was their ancestor, and that he made a promise to God to follow his laws and live a good life. They follow rules from the Torah, which is their holy book.

Christians also believe that Abraham was an important figure in their religion. They believe that Jesus, who was also a really important person, was a relative of Abraham. And they believe in the teachings of the Bible.

Muslims also see Abraham as one of their important prophets, and they follow his teachings as well. They believe in the Quran, which is their holy book, and they think that Abraham was a really good person who followed God's laws.

So, when we talk about Abrahamites, we're talking about people who follow the religions that come from Abraham. Even though Jews, Christians, and Muslims have some differences in their beliefs, they all share this important figure in their religion.
