ما هي الصحف العشر التي نزلت على سيدنا إبراهيم، وهل كان حنيفًا مسلمًا مثل أمة سيدنا محمد، وما أصله ومن أين؟

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The scriptures of Abraham (peace be upon him) are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in two places, in Surat An-Najm and Surat Al-A'la. These scriptures of Abraham and Moses contained the same meanings mentioned in these two surahs.

Among the most prominent teachings in the scriptures of Abraham are: no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another, that a person is rewarded only for his own deeds, and that the doer will see his deeds, and that Allah is the Creator, the Giver of life, the Bringer of death, and the Provider, and that He recompenses the servant for his effort. He is the Lord of Sirius, and it is He who destroyed previous nations such as 'Ad, Thamud, the people of Noah, and the towns of Lot.

There is no authentic evidence that the number of Abraham’s scriptures was ten; rather, they were mentioned as "scriptures of Abraham" without specifying a number.

The religion of Abraham (peace be upon him) is monotheism and Islam. The prophets agreed on the fundamentals of faith and creed, differing only in the branches of religious law.

As for the birthplace of Abraham (peace be upon him), the correct view is that he was born in Kutha, in the land of Iraq, in the region of Babylon.
