Quran, Hadith, and Islam
Abraham is the founder of Islam, the first recipient of the concept of Islam, and the first to use the word Muslim.“Abraham was the first recipient of the concept of ISLAM, and the first user of the word "MUSLIM" (see 2:131).”“Abraham is the one who named you 'Muslims' in the beginning.”

All religious practices of Islam, namely Salat, Zakat, fasting, and Hajj, came from Abraham generation after generation, while Muhammad contributed the Quran.“The Quran teaches that ALL RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN ISLAM (Salat, Zakat, Fasting & Hajj) CAME TO US FROM ABRAHAM, GENERATION AFTER GENERATION.”“Thus, Islam in its final form, as is practiced today, is based on two things: (1) QURAN: contributed through Muhammad, and (2) RELIGIOUS PRACTICES: through Abraham.”“Quran teaches that God taught Abraham how to do Salat, Zakat, Fasting, & Hajj, then Abraham taught these practices to his children, and so on generation after generation.”

Fasting was practiced before Muhammad through Abraham, when intercourse was forbidden all Ramadan day and night, and the Quran then permitted it during the nights.“This verse, therefore, clearly informs us that fasting was practiced before Muhammad according to the religion of Abraham (Islam).”“When fasting as initially ordained through Abraham, sexual intercourse was prohibited throughout the fasting month of Ramadan, day and night.”

Muhammad is our best example, and his example is set by upholding the Quran alone; the Quran describes Abraham as a good example in the same words.“Obviously, those who fell in Satan's trap are ignorant of the fact that ABRAHAM IS DESCRIBED IN QURAN IN THE SAME WORDS; word for word.”“There is no doubt that the prophet Muhammad is our best example. And his example is set by upholding Quran, and nothing but Quran.”

Muhammad was a follower of Abraham, so we, as followers of Muhammad, are followers of Abraham.“Logically, if Muhammad was a follower of Abraham, and we are followers of Muhammad, then we are followers of Abraham.”"Then we inspired you (O Muhammad) to follow the religion of Abraham, monotheism; never was he an idolworshiper." (16:123)
