مَا كَانَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَلَا نَصْرَانِيًّا وَلَٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفًا مُّسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was ever inclined to God and obedient to Him, and he was not of those who associate gods with God.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

Commentary:

If Abraham can be said to belong to any of the present faiths, it is Islam; for, (1) Islam is a name with a meaning bearing on the inner spirit of the faith-submission or obedience to the will of God; (2) Abraham himself used the word مسلم for himself and also for his son Ishmael, from whom the Holy Prophet of Islam is descended (2:129); and (3) he prayed that from among his progeny a مسلم (Muslim) people may come forth (2:129). But he was obviously not a Muslim in the sense that he followed in detail the religion brought by the Holy Prophet.

The clause, he was not of those who associate gods with God is a sort of rebuke to Jews and Christians who, in spite of calling themselves monotheists, virtually practised polytheism and still did not hesitate to claim Abraham as one of themselves.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ابراہیمؑ نہ یہودی تھا نہ عیسائی، بلکہ وہ ایک مسلم یکسو تھا اور وہ ہرگز مشرکوں میں سے نہ تھا

English - Sahih

Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

ابراھیم نہ یہوودی تھے اور نہ نصرانی لیکن سیدھے راستے والے مسلمان تھے اور مشرکوں میں سے نہ تھے

English - Talal Itani

Not was Ibrahim a Jew and not a Christian [and] but he was a true Muslim, and not he was from the polytheists.
