Millat Ibrahim

Millat Ibrahim

In Islam, Ibrahim (Abraham) is a central figure in the Qur'an. He is described as a leader of humankind (Qur'an 2:124), a prophet, a friend of God (Qur'an 4:125) and one who is among the righteous. He became the leader of the righteous in his time and it was through him that the Arabs and Hebrew people came. The Qur'an refers to the faith of Ibrahim as Millat Ibrahim (millatu Ibrāhīm), and it also says that he coined the term "Muslim". Allah named his followers Muslims. (Qur'an 22:78)[1]

Millat means a path or a way in Arabic. Millat Ibrahim denotes the ideology of Ibrahim in the Qur'an and how he reached them after his intellectual and spiritual journey. The Qur'an tells about his experiences in the quest for the truth. How he first considered a star, moon and sun as his gods but rejected them as mere creatures and how he finally believed in their Creator (Qur'an 6:76-79).[2]

The word Millat is used in 15 different verses of Qur'an. Ten of them (2:120, 2:130, 2:135, 3:95, 4:125, 6:161, 12:37, 12:38, 16:123, 22:78) refers, either directly or indirectly, to Ibrahim.
