The Qur’an reminds us that Abraham (Ibrahim, peace be upon him) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but a man of pure monotheism, sincerely devoted to God alone. His way was to submit fully to the One Creator without partners, which in Arabic is called Islam—meaning submission to God.

In Surah Āl ʿImrān (3:64–68), Allah invites the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) and all of humanity to come to a common word: to worship none but Allah, without associating anything with Him. The verses clarify that true followers of Abraham are those who embrace this pure monotheism, not those who later divided themselves into sects.

The connection between Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them both) is clear: Islam is the continuation and completion of Abraham’s message. Just as Abraham called his people to worship one God, Prophet Muhammad called humanity back to the same truth. Those who follow Muhammad, along with the believers, are described in the Qur’an as the closest to Abraham in faith.

Thus, Islam is not a new religion but the revival of the timeless faith of Abraham—the faith of all the prophets—centered on worshipping the One true God with sincerity and devotion.
