In the previous article, Submission to Allah was Abraham’s Religion and was the Religion Abraham’ descendants.
Back to the original Abraham and his descendants’ Religion, Ayah 6:162-163 say:
Say O Muhammad, to the Jews, to the Christians and to mankind:
Lo! my worship, my five daily prayers , my rituals, my sacrifice, my devotions, in the way of pilgrimage and otherwise, and my living (my life), and my dying (my death) were all for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
In short, my entire life, my entire activities, my entire deeds in this world were for the sake of the obedience and pleasure of Allah; the Master and the King of the entire worlds.
§ He has no partner.
§ He has no wife.
§ He has no son.
§ He has no daughter.
§ He has no equivalent.
§ Nothing is equal or similar to Him.
I am commanded to believe in Him,
I am the first (among my people) of those who submit unto Him
I am the first (among my people) of those who sincerely worship Him and confess His divine Oneness.
This was, and still is, Muhammad’s message to mankind.
This was also the message of all the messengers, sent by Allah, to their people.
This was the message of Noah, Hud, Saleh, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Shu’aib, Moses, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, Jesus,
Every one of those great Messengers and Prophet clearly conveyed this message unto his people.
