Dear Hasan,
As a historian I can't even be sure that Abraham ever existed. But if
He did then I expect everyone will be a descendent from Abraham by the
time the next Manifestation arrives. That is just the way demographics
work.

Yeah, because the wore special turbans. ;-}

Does that need to be understood literally? I think the common Baha'i
belief that Zoroaster, Buddha and Krishna are from the seed of Abraham
is probably a myth.
