Allah says in the Quran and Allah certainly took Abraham (Ibrahim) as His intimate friend and we know that the only two that were given that status and the second of them was the prophet salallahu alayhe wassallam.
How great is Islam and on how Islam, subhanallah, connects us to these great figures to Ibraheem alehissalaam.
Allah says in the Quran in Surah Al-hajj verse number 78; Allah says that he is the one who named you as Muslims from before and Scholars say From before means before the prophet salallahu alihi wasalam, Ibrahim (a.s) named you meaning named the followers Oh Mohammed (saw) to be Muslims.
You know, so the followers of Moses (a.s) He didn’t say my followers are Jews. Jesus (a.s) never said my followers of Christians. The prophet (saw) himself never said, my followers are Muslims rather Ibrahim / Abraham (a.s) said Muhammad (saw) your followers will be known as Muslims.
