Ka 'b : 0 Commander <strong>of</strong> the Believers, first tell me, is there any mention <strong>of</strong> Ibrahim<br />

~\ in your revealed Book with regard to your religion?<br />

'Umar ~ : Yes.<br />

And Ibrahim left testament <strong>of</strong> it to his sons and Ya 'qub also<br />

(did this). He (Ibrahim) said, "0 my sons verily <strong>Al</strong>lah has<br />

chosen for you this religion so do not die except as those who<br />

submit. " Or were you witness when death approached Ya'qub<br />

and he said, to his sons, "What will you worship after me?"<br />

<strong>The</strong>y replied, "We will worship your God and the God <strong>of</strong> your<br />

fathers, Ibrahim, Ismd'il and Ishdq. He is one god and to Him<br />

do we submit." [2:133J<br />

Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but was one who<br />

separated himself from false gods and submitted to <strong>Al</strong>lah as a<br />

Muslim. [3:67J<br />
