God bestows prophethood upon Prophet Ibrahim

Q: What does it mean for Prophet Ibrahim to be described as a Hanif?

Being a Hanif signifies that an individual is a devout, upright, and righteous person who submits entirely to the command of Allah. It denotes someone who remains steadfast in their faith and never deviates from the path of pure belief.

Q: Why does the Qur'an state that Prophet Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian?

The Torah and the Gospel were revealed long after the time of Prophet Ibrahim. Therefore, he preceded the historical formation of these specific traditions, embodying instead the original, pure natural belief in the one and only God.

Q: What is the common word shared between Muslims and the People of the Book?

The common word is the essential principle to worship no one but Allah, to associate no partners with Him, and to refrain from taking anyone as a lord besides Him. It serves as a call to return to the pure, monotheistic faith practiced by Prophet Ibrahim.

Q: How did Allah reward the obedience shown by Prophet Ibrahim during his tests?

Allah honored him by appointing him as a messenger at an early age and making him a model for all of humanity. Furthermore, Allah bestowed wisdom, the book, and an immense kingdom upon him and his descendants.
