Abraham / Ibrahim / Avraham
The patriarch of monotheism, revered as the founding father of faith in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. God called him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and established an everlasting covenant with him and his descendants. His willingness to sacrifice his beloved son stands as the supreme test of faith across all three Abrahamic traditions.
