2:127 And [remember] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and Ishmael, [saying], “Our Lord, accept this from us, for You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

2:128 Our Lord, make us both submitted to You and from our descendants a nation submitted to You; and show us our rituals[1] and accept our repentance. You are the Accepter of Repentance, Most Merciful.

2:129 Our Lord, send among them a messenger[1] from among themselves to recite to them Your revelations, teach them the Book and Wisdom, and purify them. You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.”

2:130 Who would forsake the religion of Abraham[1] except a fool! We have chosen him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.

2:131 When his Lord said to him, “Submit[1],” he said, “I have submitted to the Lord of the worlds.”

2:132 This was enjoined by Abraham and Jacob to their offspring, “O my children, Allah has chosen for you this religion; so do not die except as Muslims.”

2:133 Or were you present when death approached Jacob, when he said to his children, “What will you worship after me”? They said, “We will worship your God and the God of your fathers – Abraham, Ishmael[1], and Isaac – the One God. And to Him we submit.”

2:134 That was a nation that has passed on; they will have what they earned and you will have what you earned, and you will not be questioned concerning what they used to do.
