Summary/Abstract: Abraham is for the three religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) the chance of dialogue and the recovery of a relationship that ends religious disputes and extremism. His presence as Father of so many peoples and faiths can be the starting point for the recovery of the revelational monotheism. Unfortunately, however, it seems that for the Islamic-Jewish world Abraham remains another cause of tension. It is the tomb of Abraham in Horeb. Our study tries to present the importance of Abraham beyond any political-religious tension.
