Say: �God has spoken the truth therefore follow the creed of Abraham a ḥanīf and he was not an idolater.� The creed milla of Abraham was complete abandonment to God al-khurūju ilā Allāh bi-l-kulliya and surrender to His decree without hold- ing back in any way wa-l-taslīmu li-ḥukmihi min ghayri an tabqā baqiyya. In truth to affirm ithbāt anything [other than God] in accounting for what comes into being is idolatry shirk.
