In the Quran

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ دِينًۭا مِّمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُۥ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌۭ وَٱتَّبَعَ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًۭا ۗ وَٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ خَلِيلًۭا

اور اس شخص سے کس کا دین اچھا ہوسکتا ہے جس نے حکم خدا کو قبول کیا اور وہ نیکوکار بھی ہے۔ اور ابراہیم کے دین کا پیرو ہے جو یکسوں (مسلمان) تھے اور خدا نے ابراہیم کو اپنا دوست بنایا تھا

Who is better in religion than he who surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good (to men) and followeth the tradition of Abraham, the upright? Allah (Himself) chose Abraham for friend.
