Family
Muslims maintain that Abraham's father was Azar, who is known in the Hebrew Bible as Terah. Commentators and scholars believed that Abraham himself had many children, but Ishmael and Isaac were the only two who became prophets. Abraham's two wives are believed to have been Sarah and Hagar, the latter of whom was originally Sarah's handmaiden. Abraham's nephew is said to have been the prophet Lot, who was one of the other people who migrated with Abraham out of their community. Abraham himself is said to have been of semitic lineage, being a descendant of Noah through his son Shem.
