And Abraham enjoined upon his sons this and [so did] Jacob 'My sons God has chosen for you the [true] religion see that you die not save in submission.' He related that Abraham عليه السلام enjoined his sons as did Jacob عليه السلام who said “Do not let death come upon you except in the state of submission islām.” Their laws even if they differed in details were of one origin. The spring of unity tawḥīd is not divided into two. words of God most high “God has chosen for you the [true] religion” were good news. By [these words] their desire to meet the demands of submission islām became strong. For when they realized that God سبحانه had chosen them for that [islām] they knew with certainty that He would help them and make it easy for them to uphold the rightful due of submission islām.
