Chapter: The Words of Allāh, the Exalted: "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth"
باب قول الله تعالى: ﴿فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا﴾
The words of Allāh, the Exalted: "So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, the natural disposition of Allāh upon which He has created mankind. There is no altering the creation of Allāh. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know." (Sūrah al-Rūm, 30:30) And His words, the Exalted: "And Abraham enjoined upon his sons and [so did] Jacob, [saying], 'O my sons, indeed Allāh has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.'" (Sūrah al-Baqarah, 2:132) And His words: "Then We revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], to follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of those who associate others with Allāh." (Sūrah al-Naḥl, 16:123) And from Ibn Masʿūd (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "Indeed, every prophet has allies from among the prophets, and my ally among them is my father Abraham, the intimate friend of my Lord." Then he recited: "Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allāh] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allāh is the ally of the believers." (Sūrah Āl ʿImrān, 3:68) Narrated by al-Tirmidhī. And from Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "Indeed, Allāh does not look at your bodies nor at your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds."
قول الله تعالى: ﴿فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفاً فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾. وقوله تعالى: ﴿وَوَصَّى بِهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَا بَنِيَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى لَكُمُ الدِّينَ فَلا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلاَّ وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ﴾. وقوله: ﴿ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفاً وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ﴾. وعن ابن مسعود ﵁ أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: "إن لكل نبي ولاة من النبيين، وأنا وليي منهم أبي إبراهيم وخليل ربي. ثم قرأ: ﴿إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَذَا النَّبِيُّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ رواه الترمذي. وعن أبي هريرة ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "إن الله لا ينظر إلى أجسامكم، ولا إلى أموالكم، ولكن ينظر إلى قلوبكم وأعمالكم".
