Translation of the verse 132 from Surah Al-Baqarah : Number of verses 286 - - page 20 - Part 1.
And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Ya'qub (Jacob), (saying), "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except in the Faith of Islam (as Muslims - Islamic Monotheism)."
And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."
(2:132) He also enjoined on his children to follow the same way. Jacob also did the same *131 and his last will to his sons was, "O my children, Allah has chosen the same way of life *132 for you. Hence remain Muslims up to your last breath."
*131). Jacob is especially mentioned since the Children of Israel were his direct descendants.
*132). Din is a Qur'anic technical term, signifying the way of life, the system of conduct, and the code on which man bases his entire mode of thought and action. (For the author's views on din see his Four Basic Qur'anic Terms, tr. Abu Asad, Lahore, 1979, pp. 93-103 - Ed.)
