Page 27 - A Call For Unity

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

His Religion, and being devout. In one verse, Allah commands
the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace) to abide by the haneef religion of the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh):
Then We revealed to you: "Follow the religion of
Abraham, a man of pure natural belief. He was not one
of the idolaters." (Surat An-Nahl: 123)

The Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) sons, grandchildren, and
other devout Muslim descendents all abided by his religion.
In the Qur'an this truth is revealed as follows:
Who would deliberately renounce the religion of
Abraham, except someone who reveals himself to be a
fool? We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter
he will be one of the righteous. When his Lord said to
him: "Become a Muslim!" he said: "I am a Muslim who
has submitted to the Lord of all the worlds." Abraham
directed his sons to this, as did Jacob: "My sons. Allah
has chosen this religion for you, so do not die except as
Muslims." Or were you present when death came to
Jacob and he said to his sons: "What will you worship
when I have gone?" They said: "We will worship your
God, the God of your forefathers, Abraham, Ishmael and
Isaac – One God. We are Muslims submitted to Him."
(Surat Al-Baqara: 130-133)

As we can see, the religion followed by the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) represents the common ground among
Muslims, Jews, and Christians who have faith in Allah, the
One and Only. Love, faith, and respect for the Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) are just as important to Muslims as they are
