The Qualities of the Religion of Ibrahim:
The meaning of "deen" is to accept the complete sovereignty of Allah Almighty and to acknowledge one's own complete servitude. Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) made his way of thinking and his way of acting entirely subject to the will of Allah Almighty, and he devoted his entire life to the propagation and dissemination of this way of thought and action. He endured with cheerfulness the great difficulties that arose in this path, and this way of life was so beloved to Allah that He made him the leader of the whole world. Now, only a fool could turn away from such a favored way, or someone who is acting with deliberate ignorance.
