Abrahamic religions

Set of monotheistic religions

The Abrahamic religions are a set of monotheistic religions that respect or admire the religious figure Abraham as a patriarch and/or as a prophet, namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as well as smaller religions such as the Baháʼí Faith, the Druze faith, Rastafari, and Samaritanism. The term may also include religions such as Yazidism, Mandaeism, Yarsanism, Shabakism, although their status as Abrahamic religions is highly controversial and hotly debated because their doctrines set them significantly apart from other Abrahamic religions. The religions of this set share doctrinal, historical, and geographic overlap that contrast them with Indian religions, Iranian religions, and East Asian religions, although some smaller Abrahamic religions, such as the Baha'i Faith, are also Iranian religions.
