Abrahamic faiths
 Jesus meets him says Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi. |
The Abrahamic religions, also referred to collectively as Abrahamism, are a group of Semitic-originated religious sects which claim descent from the practices of the ancient Israelites and the worship of the "God of Abraham". The term derives from a figure from the Bible known as Abraham. Although Judaism began as a local tribal cult in the Levant, the Abrahamists were able to spread globally through Christianity being adopted by the Roman Empire in the 4th century and the military campaigns of the Arabs who spread Islam from the 7th century onward. As a consequence, today the Abrahamic religions are one of the major divisions in comparative religion (along with Indian, Iranian, and East Asian religions).Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the largest Abrahamic religions in terms of numbers of adherents.
The major Abrahamic religions in chronological order of founding are:
Abrahamic religions with fewer adherents include the faiths descended from Yazdânism (the Yezidi, Yarsani and Alevi faiths), Samaritanism (sometimes classified as a branch of Judaism), the Druze faith (often classified as a branch of Isma'ili Shi'i Islam),Bábism, the Bahá'í Faith and Rastafari.
