The Religion of Abraham, the Upright (L-160)

وَقالوا كونوا هودًا أَو
نَصارىٰ تَهتَدوا ۗ قُل بَل مِلَّةَ إِبراهيمَ حَنيفًا ۖ وَما كانَ مِنَ
المُشرِكينَ135. |

135. Wa qaaluu kuunuu Huu-dan ‘aw Nasaaraa tahtaduu. Qul
bal Millata ‘Ibraa-hiima Haniifaa. Wa maa kaana minal-mushrikiin. |

135. And they say, “Be Jews or Christians, and you will be
guided.” Say, “Rather, the religion of Abraham, the Monotheist; he was not an
idolater.” |
Millata ‘Ibraa-hiima – (the religion of Abraham), it aims those particular rules and regulations, which were issued by Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) and a society was assembled upon these principles.
Haniifaa - (the upright), during the period of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him), the people used to worship different things and deemed that their all businesses run by means of them. Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) invited them unto the worship of one God; setting free from all others and adopted one God Himself too by leaving all others. So he (peace be upon him) was given the title of “the Upright”.
Holy Qur’an refuted all liar beliefs of the Idolaters and the people of the Scripture, proved their arguments as false and invited them to accept the Truth with bright and clear proofs. The children of Israel and the Christians must have accepted the true and simple teachings of Holy Qur’an but instead of it, they chose the path of opposing and violence, and on the contrary, they used to invite the Muslims towards the Jewish religion and the Christianity. They used to say to the Muslims: Embrace our religion; you will get success in this world and in the Hereafter. God commanded to His Messenger (ﷺ): You should reply them from the side of the entire Muslim nation against their invitation: O the People of the Scripture! You have made uncountable changes in your Scriptures and Divine Laws of your religions, whereas our religion has been established only on that ancient Unity of God’s religion, which was of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him). We are standing on that particular religion and we have not made any change in it.
Another thing, “By which face do you relate your religion towards Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) while he (Peace be upon him) did go never near the polytheism? He had pure belief in the Oneness of God, whereas your religion has been filled with the vileness of pluralities. How can you be the claimers of a true religion and freedom?
