And who would be averse to the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) except one who makes a fool of himself? And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous. When his Lord said to him, "Submit", he said, "I have submitted [in Islam] to the Lord of the worlds."

And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya’qub (Jacob) (saying), O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then do not die except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims–Islamic Monotheism).”

Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya’qub (Jacob)? When he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your Ilah (Allah-God) and the Ilah (God) of your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham), and Isma’il (Ishmael), and Ishaq, One Ilah (God), and to Him, we submit (in Islam).”

That was a nation which has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

They say, "Be Jews or Christians [so] you will be guided." Say (to them O Muhammad SWS), “Rather, [we follow only the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), Hanifa (Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allah (Alone)], and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (those who worshipped others along with Allah.

Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

So if they believe in the same as you believe in, then they have been [rightly] guided; but if they turn away, they are only in dissension, and Allah will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing. [And say, "Ours is] the religion of Allah. And who is better than Allah in [ordaining] religion? And we are worshippers of Him." – The Holy Qur’an 2:130-138.

Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. – The Holy Qur’an 3:67.

Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him." – The Holy Qur’an 3:84.

And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allah while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth? And Allah took Abraham as an intimate friend. ­– The Holy Qur’an 4:125.

And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Ibrahim (Abraham). Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector; excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper. ­– The Holy Qur’an 22:78.                        Beautiful Bangladesh
