Page 26 - The Prophet Abraham (pbuh)
P. 26

Who could have a better religion than some-
                            one who submits himself completely to Allah,
                            is a good-doer, and follows the religion of
                            Abraham, a man of pure natural belief?...
                            (Surat an-Nisa: 125)

                            People continue to argue over which religion
                        the Prophet Abraham (pbuh) followed. Jews re-
                        gard him as a Jewish prophet and claim to follow
                        his path. Christians also consider him a Jewish
                        prophet, but claim that he followed the Prophet
                        Jesus (pbuh), who came after him.
                            In the Qur'an however, Allah reveals the truth

                        of this matter by providing certain information:
                            Or do they say that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac,
                            Jacob, and the Descendents were Jews or
                            Christians? Say: "Do you know better, or does
                            Allah?" Who could do greater wrong than
