﴿ وَوَصَّىٰ بِهَآ إِبْرَٰهِۦمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَٰبَنِىَّ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ لَكُمُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ ﴾
“And this very thing did Abraham bequeath unto his children, and [so did] Jacob: "O my children! Behold, God has granted you the purest faith; so do not allow death to overtake you ere you have surrendered yourselves unto Him."”
And Abraham enjoined upon his sons this and [so did] Jacob 'My sons God has chosen for you the [true] religion see that you die not save in submission.' He related that Abraham ���� ������ enjoined his sons as did Jacob ���� ������ who said �Do not let death come upon you except in the state of submission islām.� Their laws even if they differed in details were of one origin. The spring of unity tawḥīd is not divided into two. words of God most high �God has chosen for you the [true] religion� were good news. By [these words] their desire to meet the demands of submission islām became strong. For when they realized that God ������ had chosen them for that [islām] they knew with certainty that He would help them and make it easy for them to uphold the rightful due of submission islām.
