67. " abraham was neither (a) jew nor (a) christian but he was an upright
muslim, and he was not (one) of polytheists."

commentary:
the arabic term /hanafa/ means: 'tending to the truth' , while
its opposite arabic term is /janafa/ which means: 'deviation or swerving
to falsehood?

the term /hanif/ is applied for a person who is on the path of
truth but this very word was one of the perverted words which the
idolators used to employ about themselves therefore, the pagans were
also called /hunafa/ which is the plural form of this word
with the occurrence of the term /musliman/ 'a muslim' in this
verse and beside the term /hanifan/, the qur'an has purified both

abraham, from the dirt of polytheism, and this holy word from the
misusers.

" abraham was neither (a) jew nor (a) christian but he was an upright
muslim, and he was not (one) of polytheists."
