Hanif
حنيفDefinition
One who inclines away from falsehood toward pure monotheism — the Quranic description of Ibrahim's faith. He arrived at the worship of Allah alone through intellectual reflection, rejecting the stars, moon, and sun as gods before declaring his devotion to the Creator of all things.
As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
