135 : 2

وَقَالُواْ كُونُواْ هُودًا أَوۡ نَصَٰرَىٰ تَهۡتَدُواْۗ قُلۡ بَلۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِـۧمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

(135) They said: “Become Jews or Christian, and you will be guided”. Say: “Nay, but ˹we follow˺ the creed of Ibrāhīm, rightly oriented^[207], and he was not one of the Associators”.

[207] This is the translation of ḥanīf. Ḥanīfiyyah is the religion of Ibrāhīm. The basic semantic meaning of the root ḥ-n-f is inclination towards uprightness and eschewing crookedness (cf. Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’an; al-Sijistānī, Gharīb al-Qur’ān; Ibn al-Jawzī, Tadhkirat al-Arīb). Abraham, who is the example set for humanity for those who seek to find the right path of God (cf. 2: 124), was neither a Jew nor a Christian (cf. 3: 67).
