What is the significance of Prophet Abel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?

Abel in Judaism
Abel is recognized in the Hebrew Bible as the righteous shepherd and the first victim of murder. His story serves as a profound early lesson in the sanctity of human life and the destructive nature of jealousy.

Abel in Christianity
Christians honor Abel as the first martyr of faith. The New Testament contrasts Abel's spilled blood with the redemptive blood of Jesus, which speaks of forgiveness rather than vengeance.

Abel in Islam
Although the Quran does not mention him by name, Islamic tradition recognizes him as the righteous son of Adam whose humble sacrifice was accepted by God. His innocent acceptance of his brother's hostility makes him a symbol of patience and submission in Muslim teachings.
