The Holy Quran 3:68 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

إِنَّ أَوْلَى ٱلنَّاسِ بِإِبْرَٰهِيمَ لَلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ وَهَـٰذَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

Verily those closest to Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام, (those who can most rightfully claim a relationship with him) are the ones who followed him and this Nabi (Muhammad ﷺ), as well as those who have Imaan (the Ummah of Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام, and Muhammad ﷺ are most like him). Allaah is the Protecting Friend of the Mu'mineen (when they fulfil His commands).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The community of the Prophet ﷺ is closest to Ibrahim ﵇: Almighty Allah has made clear that the greatest affinity with Ibrahim ﵇ belonged to the community of that time, and, among the later communities, belongs to the community of this Prophet ﷺ. So this community has the greater affinity with Ibrahim ﵇ both in name and in path.
