২:১৩৫(Submission (Islam): Abraham's Religion-Millat)

🏞️২:১৩৫(Submission (Islam): Abraham's Religion).
وَقَالُوا كُونُوا هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَىٰ تَهْتَدُوا ۗ قُلْ بَلْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ 🍀N2حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
আৰু সিহঁতে কয়, ‘তোমালোকে ইয়াহূদী বা নাছাৰা(3/66). হৈ যোৱা, সঠিক পথ পাবা’। কোৱা, ‘বৰং আমি একনিষ্ঠ হৈ ইব্ৰাহীমৰ মিল্লাতৰ অনুসৰণ কৰিম; আৰু তেওঁ মুশ্বৰিকসকলৰ অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত নাছিল’।

[2:135] And (Wa) they say (Qaalu'), "Be (Kuunu') Jewish (Huudan) or (Aw') Christians (Nasoaraa) you will 
be guided (Tah'tadu')." Say (Qul'): "But rather (Bal'), the creed (Millata) of Abraham (Ib'raahiima), the 
orthodox (Haniifan); for (Wa) he was (Kaana) not (Maa) of (Mina) the polytheists (El'Mush'rikiin)."

📍Note-1
Islam or Peace/Submission is not a proper name. All messengers of God and believers since Adam have described their system as Peace/Submission and themselves a Peacemakers or Peaceful Submitters in their languages(2:131; 3:95; 6:161; 7:126; 10:72; 27:31, 32; 28:53). The only system acceptable by God is submission, submission to God alone. Abraham practiced daily contact prayers, purification through charity, fasting and annual gathering (22:78). Muhammed, as a follower of Abraham continued the same practice (16:123).

📍Note-2
The expression 🍀hanif is derived from the verb hanafa, which literally means "he inclined [towards a right state or tendency]" (cf. Lane II, 658). Already in pre-Islamic times, this term had a definitely monotheistic connotation, and was used to describe a man who turned away from sin and worldliness and from all dubious beliefs, especially idol-worship; and tahannuf denoted the ardent devotions, mainly consisting of long vigils and prayers, of the unitarian God-seekers of pre-Islamic times. Many instances of this use of the terms hanif and tahannuf occur in the verses of pre-Islamic poets, e.g., Umayyah ibn Abi 's-Salt and Jiran al-`Awd (cf. Lisan al-'Arab, art. hanafa).

📍Note-3
The Quran repeatedly informs us that Submission is the religion of Abraham (3:95, 4:125, 6:161, 22:78). Abraham received a practical "scripture,"namely, all the duties and practices of Submission[the Contact Prayers (Salat), the obligatory charity (Zakat), the fasting of Ramadan, and the Hajj pilgrimage]. Muhammad was a follower of Abraham's religion, as we see in 16:123; he delivered this Final Testament, the Quran. The third messenger of Submission delivered the religion's proof of authenticity (see 3:81).
