ʻAbdu'l-Bahá states that Abraham was born in Mesopotamia,[1] and Bahá’u’lláh states that the language which Abraham spoke, when "he crossed the Jordan", is Hebrew (‘Ibrání), so "the language of the crossing."[2] To ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, the Abraham was born to a family that was ignorant of the oneness of God.[1] Abraham opposed his own people and government, and even his own kin, he rejected all their gods, and, alone and single-handed, he withstood a powerful nation.[1] These people believed not in one God but in many gods, to whom they ascribed miracles, and hence they all rose up against Abraham. No one supported him except his nephew Lot and "one or two other individuals of no consequence".[1] At last the intensity of his enemies' opposition obliged him, utterly wronged, to forsake his native land. Abraham then came to these regions, that is, to the Holy Land.[1]
ʻAbdu'l-Bahá also suggested the "holy manifestations who have been the sources or founders of the various religious systems" were united and agreed in purpose and teaching, and the Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh are one in "spirit and reality".[3]
