with him when they said to their unbelieving people: 'We are free
of you and whatever idols you worship besides Allah, and we deny
and reject what you are upon; and because of your disbelief in
Allah and your worship of others besides Him, enmity and hatred
has arisen between us for ever, unless you believe truly in Allah,
and single Him out, and worship Him alone." [60:4]

Translation:
120: Verily, Ibrâhim was an Ummah (a leader having all the
good righteous qualities), or a nation, obedient to Allah, Hanif
and he was not one of those who were Al-Mushrikûn
(polytheists, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh,
and those who joined partners with Allâh).
121: (He was) thankful for His (Allah’s) Favours. He (Allah)
chose him (as an intimate friend) and guided him to a Straight
Path (Islamic Monotheism)
122: And We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter
he shall be of the righteous.
123: Then, We have sent revelation to you (O Muhammad
saying): “Follow the religion of Ibrahim, Hanif (to worship none
but Allah) and he was not of the Mushrikun.
