The Story of Abraham, the First Muslim
Islam is strictly and spiritually a
Muhammadan faith, and as such, has no claim to Abraham as its spiritual
founder, therefore is not an Abrahamic Faith. In
addition, it is Islamic tradition that Muhammad descended from Abraham's
son Ishmael, however,
this also does not mean that the religion Muhammad founded is an Abrahamic Faith,
for religion and faith are of the soul, spiritual and transcendent, and not
transmittable by bloodline.
