(26:69) And tell them the story of Abraham *50
And recite to them the news of meaning
*50) This part of the life-history of Prophet Abraham relates to the time when after his appointment to Prophethood, a conflict had started between him and his people on the questions of shirk and Tauhid.
In this connection, the reader should also see Al-Baqarah: 258-260, Al-An`am: 75-83, Maryam: 41-50, Al-Anbiya': 51-70, As- Saffat: 83-113, and Al-Mumtahanah: 4-5.
The Qur'an has specially repeated this part of Prophet Abraham's lifestory over and over again because the Arabs in general and the Quraish in particular regarded themselves as his followers and professed his way and creed.
Besides them, the Christians and the Jews also claimed that Abraham was their religious leader and guide.
That is why the Qur'an admonishes them over and over again that the creed brought by Abraham was Islam itself, which is now being presented by the Holy Prophet Muhammad ( Allah's peace be upon him ), and which they are opposing tooth and nail.
Prophet Abraham was not a mushrik, but an antagonist against shirk, and for the same reason he had to leave his home and country and live as a migrant in Syria, Palestine and Hejaz.
Thus he was neither a Jew nor a Christian, because Judaism and Christianity appeared centuries after him.
This historical argument could neither be refuted by the mushriks, nor by the Jews or the Christians, because the mushriks themselves admitted that idol-worship in Arabia had started several centuries after Prophet Abraham, and the Jews and the Christians also could not deny that Prophet Abraham had lived long before the beginning of Judaism and Christianity.
This obviously meant that the special beliefs and customs which those people thought formed the basis of their religion, were not part of the original religion taught by Prophet Abraham.
True religion was the one which had no tinge of those impurities, but was based on those worship and obedience of One Allah alone.
That is why the Qur`an says:
" Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a Muslim, sound in the Faith, and he was not of those who set up partners with Allah.
Surely only those people who follow Abraham are entitled to claim a relationship with him.
Now this Prophet and the believers are better entitled to this relationship. " ( AIAn'am: 67, 68 ).
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Recite unto them ) unto Quraysh, your people ( the story of Abraham ) the event of Abraham in the Qur’an:
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham).
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
