28. 1. That is, he bequeathed his word لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ to his children, as it is said, 'that Allah kept this word among the descendants of Ibrahim after him, and they continued to worship only one Allah.'
28. 2. That is, these monotheists were created among the descendants of Ibrahim so that, through their preaching of monotheism, people would continue to refrain from shirk; it was the religion of Ibrahim (AS) which was based purely on monotheism, not on shirk.
