The religion of Abraham (علیہ السلام) (L-401)

ما كانَ إِبراهيمُ
يَهودِيًّا وَلا نَصرانِيًّا وَلٰكِن كانَ حَنيفًا مُسلِمًا وَما كانَ مِنَ
المُشرِكينَ67. إِنَّ أَولَى النّاسِ
بِإِبراهيمَ لَلَّذينَ اتَّبَعوهُ وَهٰذَا النَّبِيُّ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا ۗ
وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ المُؤمِنينَ68. |

67. Maa kaana ‘Ibraa-hiimu Yahuu-diyyanw-wa laa Nasraa-niyyanw-wa laakin kaana Haniifam-Muslimaa. Wa maa kaana minal-mushrikiin. 68. ‘Inna
‘aw-lannaasi bi-‘ibraahiima lallaziinat-taba-‘uuhu wa
haazan-Nabiyyu wallaziina ‘aamanuu. WAllaahu
Waliyyul- Mu’-miniin. |

67. Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Monotheist, a Muslim. And he was not of the Polytheists. 68. The people most
deserving of Abraham are those who followed him, and this prophet, and those
who believe. God is the Guardian of the believers. |
Haniifan – (an upright man), the person, who goes on the right path and leaves all spurious ways, who disconnects his relationships from the entire sides and connects only with God, Who is the Most High (the Worshipped). Holy Qur’an has named him (Peace be upon him) as Haniifam-Muslimaa such blessed name.
Musliman – (that who has surrendered to God, origin of Islam, Muslim and tasliim (salutation, complement, admission and accepting) is Salama, which means obedience, subjection and subordination. This Will, salutation, complement, admission, subjection, subordination and acceptance is actually real religion. This very manner remained always of the entire Prophets (Peace be upon them). Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) enlightened particularly this peculiarity of obedience with his complete dutifulness.
God has described to the people of the Scripture about the Rule of Conduct of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) in this verse. He was a simple Muslim, that is to say; leaving the entire wrong paths, he (Peace be upon him) had chosen only one path which leads to God, he was only His obedient. His (Peace be upon him) life’s every moment tells that he was a statue of Will, salutation, complement, admission, subjection, subordination and accepting with his perfect obedience. Leaving his wife and newly born son in the barren valley of Arab for obeying the command of God, getting ready to sacrifice his beloved son Ishmael (Peace be upon him) for the cause of God and construction of the House of God in Makkah (Ka’bah -The Square Building). These entire things indicate that how much he (Peace be upon him) was obedient to God. Absolutely he was not of the idolaters as you are saying today someone son and someone daughter of God.
God pointed out that either they had more relationship with Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) who believed in Him or this consistency has been bestowed to the Last Messenger (ﷺ) and his nation. This nation has more suitableness with Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him) in its faith, deeds and name (Muslim). Prophet, Muhammad (ﷺ) of this nation was sent due to the supplications of Prophet Abraham (Peace be upon him), and the teachings of Holy Qur’an are based on the same principles.
