ABRAHAM: THE FOUNDER OF ISLAM
Abraham was the first recipient of the concept of ISLAM, and the first user of the word "MUSLIM" (see 2:131).
"You shall strive in the cause of God as you should. He has blessed you, and imposed no hardship in your religion; the RELIGION OF YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM. Abraham is the one who named you 'Muslims' in the beginning. Thus, the messenger serves as witness among you, just as you serve as witnesses among the people. Therefore, you shall observe the Salat prayers, give the Zakat charity, and hold fast to God; He is your Lord; the best Lord, and the best supporter." (22:78)
Thus, if Abraham is the founder of Islam, did he contribute anything to our Islamic life?
The answer is: "YES; he contributed THE RELIGIOUS PRACTICES (Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj)."
