Explanation

Abraham is regarded as the patriarch of the three major Abrahamic religions. He is the founding father of the Jewish nation through Isaac, the ancestor of Christians through the line of David, and the progenitor of Arabs and Muslims through Ishmael. This makes him the common patriarch revered by all three faiths. Moses and Isaac are important figures but not the common patriarch.
