مَا کَانَ اِبۡرٰہِیۡمُ یَہُوۡدِیًّا وَّلَا نَصۡرَانِیًّا وَّلٰکِنۡ کَانَ حَنِیۡفًا مُّسۡلِمًا وَّمَا کَانَ مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِکِیۡنَ
یعنی مُوَحّد جو حَنِیْف کا ترجمہ ہے۔
2:141.
3:96; 4:126; 6:162; 16:121, 124.
Important Words:
حنیفا (ever inclined to God). See 2:136.
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.
