اَلْاَ نْعَام

Al Anam

HR Background

اِنِّیْ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِیَ لِلَّذِیْ فَطَرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ حَنِیْفًا وَّ مَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(79)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

I have turned my face, refraining from all falsehood, to the One Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not of the polytheists.”[1]

Commentary

[1]

The verse mentions how Prophet Ibrāhīm عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم referred to himself as anīf, which means one who is disaffiliated from false religions and all falsehood. The religion of truth can only be established when there is true religious devotion and disaffiliation from all false religions. Uncertainty in matters of faith, perennialism in all its forms, and religious syncretism will not lead to uncovering the true religion of God.
