Surah 3. Al-i'Imran, Ayah 95
| قُلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ ۗ فَاتَّبِعُوا مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | qul s.adaqa 'allaah fa- ittabico millah 'ibraahem h.anef(an) wa- maa kaana min al- mushriken |
| Pickthall | : | Say: Allah speaketh truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, the upright. He was not of the idolaters. |
| Asad | : | Say: "God has spoken the truth: follow, then, the creed of Abraham, who turned away from all that is false, and was not of those who ascribe divinity to aught beside God." |
| Malik | : | Say: "Allah has declared the truth. If you are sincere then follow the faith of Ibrahim (Abraham); he was upright and not a mushrik." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Say: "Allah speaketh the truth: follow the religion of Abraham the sane in faith; he was not of the pagans." 421 |
Note - 421The greater freedom of Islam in the matter of the
ceremonial law, compared with the Mosaic Law, is not a
reproach but a recommendation. We go back to an older
source than Judaism,-the institutions of Abraham. By
common consent his Faith was sound, and he was certainly
not a Pagan, a term contemptuously applied to the Arabs
by the Jews.
