Is it permissible to say: "I am of the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham)" because it does not conflict with Islam?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A Muslim's statement: "I am upon the religion of Abraham, peace be upon him," is one of the fundamentals of Islam. Allah Almighty commanded following the religion of Abraham, being a hanif (monotheist), and He condemned whoever turns away from it. The religion of Abraham is the Hanifiyyah, meaning worshipping Allah alone, dedicating the religion sincerely to Him. This is the religion of Islam which Muhammad, peace be upon him, brought, and it includes the monotheism of Allah, disbelieving in what is worshipped besides Him, and submitting to His judgment and law. Attributing oneself to the religion of Abraham is a consequence of Islam and alongside it, not a substitute for it.
