The Holy Quran 2:132 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

وَوَصَّىٰ بِهَآ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَـٰبَنِىَّ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰ لَكُمُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

Translation

Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام and Ya'qoob عليه الصلاة والسلام advised their sons about it (about following Islaam, the religion of Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام) saying, "Oh my sons! Verily Allaah has chosen this Deen (Islaam) for you, so die only as Muslims." (In this manner, they instructed their sons to remain Muslims until their deaths.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The testament of Ibrahim ﵇ to his sons: the very religion (millah) whose honour has already been mentioned was what Ibrahim ﵇ and Ya'qub ﵇ enjoined upon their children; so whoever does not accept it is opposed to them as well. And the Jews used to say that Ya'qub ﵇ enjoined Judaism upon his children — they are lying, as comes in the next verse.
