Abstract
This research examines the civilization-building and culture-creating role of Prophet Abraham (AS) as an "Imam" and a "Monotheistic Model". The aim is to explain his role in reconstructing religious identity and analyzing the civilizational dimensions of the Abrahamic character based on the verses of the Quran. The present research, using the method of qualitative content analysis of verses related to Abraham (AS) and using reliable interpretations and a comparative study of the capacity for modeling for the challenges of human society, attempts to answer the question of how Abrahamic civilization and culture can solve human cultural and social challenges? The key findings are his civilization-building characteristics, socio-cultural impacts, a model for solving contemporary challenges, social inequality, and cultural distortion. Abraham (AS) provided the foundations for the formation of a revealed civilization by combining "divine imamate" and "collective reasoning." This civilization has three basic pillars: spirituality, justice, and moral rationality. The result is that the Abrahamic character (AS) offers a strategic capacity for responding to the crises of human civilization within the framework of the Quran. This research shows that the Abrahamic character is a comprehensive model for confronting the crises facing human societies and rebuilding civilization based on revelation.
