And enjoined [it] Ibrahim (upon) his sons and Yaqub, "O my sons! Indeed, Allah has chosen for you the religion, so not (should) you die except while you (are) submissive."
And this very thing did Abraham bequeath unto his children, and [so did] Jacob: "O my children! Behold, God has granted you the purest faith; so do not allow death to overtake you ere you have surrendered yourselves unto Him."
The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him)
And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."
This was the advice of Abraham—as well as Jacob—to his children, ˹saying˺, “Indeed, Allah has chosen for you this faith; so do not die except in ˹a state of full˺ submission.”
Abram commanded his sons to do the same as did Jacob, “Sons, your God is One, He has chosen this faith for you, so do not die unless you have submitted to Him.”
and Abraham enjoined his sons to do the same, as did Jacob, My sons, God has chosen this religion for you; so do not let death overtake you, except when you are in a state of submission
And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub. O my sons! surely Allah has chosen for you (this) faith, therefore die not unless you are Muslims
And Abraham charged his children to it, and Jacob: O my children! Truly, God favored the way of life for you. Then, be not overtaken by death but you be ones who submit to the One God.
Abraham commissioned his sons with it [as a legacy], and [so did] Jacob: "My sons, God has selected your religion for you. Do not die unless you are Muslims."
And this submission to Allah was enjoined by Abraham upon his sons and by Jacob, (saying): "O my sons! Surely Allah has chosen for you the true religion, then don’t die unless you are Muslims."
And Abraham enjoined the same upon his children, as did Jacob, “O my children, God has chosen for you the religion, so die not except in submission.
Abraham instructed his sons, as did Jacob, “O my sons, God chose this religion for you, so don’t die except as Submitters.”
And Abraham exhorted his sons, and Jacob, 'O my sons, God has chosen this religion for you, so do not die unless you have submitted.'
And Ibrahim (Abraham) bequeathed this to his sons, and (also) Yaqub (Jacob): “O my sons! Certainly Allah has specified for you The Religion, die not except while you are Muslims.”
This was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons and so did Jacob, when he said: "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you this Deen (way of life), therefore, die not unless you are Muslims."
And Ibrahim (Abraham) enjoined his seeds (Or. sons) with this, and (also) Yaaqub, (Jacob) (saying), "O my seeds! Surely Allah has elected for you the religion; so, definitely do not die except (while) you are Muslims."
Abraham left this legacy to his sons and, in turn, so did Jacob saying, "God has chosen this religion for you. You must not leave this world unless you are a Muslim (submitted to the will of the Lord of the Universe)."
And Ibrahim exhorted the same to his sons, and so did Ya‘qub (Jacob): .My sons, Allah has certainly chosen for you the Faith. So, let not death overtake you but as Muslims
Abraham held fast to his pledge and enjoined upon his sons to do the same, and so did Jacob, saying, "O' My children! Behold, Allah has chosen for you the True System of Life. Therefore, do not let death overtake you except that you are truly Muslims."
Ibraheem left instructions for his sons _ and so did Yaqub (for his sons) _ saying, "Oh my sons! Allah has certainly chosen the true religion for you. So, be sure that you do not die unless you were an obedient _ (lit: a muslim) _ servant (of your Lord)
And this was the story that Ibrahim (Abraham) left to his sons, and so did Yaqoub (Jacob); "Oh my sons! Allah has chosen the Faith for you: Then do not die except in the Faith of Islam."
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."
And Abraham enjoined his sons and Jacob: "O my sons, God has selected the system for you, so do not die except as ones who have surrendered."
and commanded his sons to do the same, as did Jacob: ‘My sons, God has chosen [your] religion for you, so make sure you devote yourselves to Him, to your dying moment.’
And Ibrahim enjoined his sons the same and did Ya'qub also, saying: O my sons! verily Allah hath chosen for you the religion, so die not except ye be Muslims
And Abraham left this legacy to his sons, and to Jacob, and said: "O my sons, God has chosen this as the faith for you. Do not die but as those who have submitted (to God)."
Ibrahim directed his sons to this, as did Ya´qub: ´My sons! Allah has chosen this deen for you, so do not die except as Muslims.´
Abraham bequeathed and enjoined this submission to his sons (Ishmael and Isaac) and (to his grandson) Jacob, saying: "My sons, God has chosen for you (from different ways of faith and life) the Religion (of Islam, based on submission to Him and absolutely free from any kind of associating partners with Him). Therefore, make sure that you do not die except as Muslims (those submitted to Him exclusively)."
Abraham enjoined this [creed] upon his children, and [so did] Jacob, [saying], ‘My children! Allah has indeed chosen this religion for you; so never die except as muslims.’
And Abraham instructed his sons therein, and so did Jacob (saying), "O my sons! Verily, Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, do not therefore die save as those who have surrendered (as Muslims)
Abraham and Jacob instructed their sons to it (saying:) “My sons, indeed God chose the way of life (religion) for you, so do not die except while you are submitted (to God).”
And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, as did Jacob. He said, “Oh my sons, God has chosen the way for you, so die not except as those at peace.
He advised his children to submit, and laterYaqub alsodid the same, saying: “My children, Allah has chosen your religion for you, so till you die remain as true Muslims”
He also enjoined on his children to follow the same way. Jacob also did the same and his last will to his sons was, "O my children, Allah has chosen the same way of life for you. Hence remain Muslims up to your last breath."
And Abraham enjoined his sons and Jacob: "O my sons, God has selected the system for you, so do not die except as ones who have submitted.
And Abraham did advise his sons in this regard, and so did Jacob , "O my sons! Indeed, Allah has chosen the Religion for you. Die you not then except in the state of complete surrender unto Him!"
And Ibrahim left the legacy of the same religion to his sons and Yaqoob too; that 'O my sons, surely Allah has chosen this religion for you, therefore die not, but as Muslim.
Moreover, Abraham exhorted his children to do the same, and so did Jacob: "O my children, GOD has pointed out the religion for you; do not die except as submitters."
Abraham charged his children with this, and so did Jacob, saying: 'My sons, Allah has chosen for you the religion. Do not die except being submissive (Muslims).
And the same did Abraham enjoin on his sons, and (so did) Jacob: O my sons, surely Allah has chosen for you (this) religion, so die not unless you are submitting ones
And Abraham directed/commanded with it his sons and daughters , and Jacob: "You my sons and daughters, that God chose/purified for you the religion, so do not die (E) except and you are submitters/surrenderers/Moslems ."
Abraham invited his children (Ishmael and Isaac) to the same way of life. So did Jacob (his grand son.) Jacob’s last will to his children was: “God has chosen this way of life for you; therefore, do not die unless in the state of Islam (submission to God.
And Ibrahim willed the same religion upon his sons, and also did Yaqub (Jacob); (saying), "O my sons - indeed Allah has chosen this religion for you; therefore do not die except as Muslims (those who submit to Him)."
The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, - and Jacob also - saying, `O my sons, truly ALLAH has chosen this religion for you; so let not death overtake you except when you are in a state of complete submission.
And Ibrahim (Abraham) enjoined, by way of will, the same thing upon his sons and (so did) Ya‘qub (Jacob): ‘O my sons, verily, Allah has chosen for you the (true) Din (Religion of Islam). So, (come what may) die not but as Muslims persevering with faith.
The same (faith) did Abraham enjoin upon his sons and (so did) Jacob (saying), `My sons! surely, Allah has chosen for you this faith. See that when you die you are in a state of complete submission (according to His will).
And this (submission to Allah, Islam) was enjoined by Ibrahim (Abraham) upon his sons and by Yaqoob (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 charged his sons with this and Jacob likewise: 'My sons, God has chosen for you the religion; see that you die not save in surrender.
And Abraham bequeathed this religion to his children, and Jacob did the same, saying, my children, verily God hath chosen this religion for you, therefore die not, unless ye also be resigned
And Abraham instructed his sons therein, and Jacob (saying), 'O my sons! verily, God has chosen for you a religion, do not therefore die unless ye be resigned.
And this to his children did Abraham bequeath, and Jacob also, saying, "O my children! truly God hath chosen a religion for you; so die not unless ye be also Muslims."
Abraham enjoined the Faith on his children, and so did Jacob, saying: ‘My children, God has chosen the Faith for you. Do not depart this life except as Muslims.‘
And Abraham enjoined it to his children and so did Jacob, “O my children! Truly Allah has chosen the religion [Islam] for you so die not except as those who have submitted wholly to Allah.”
The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): ‘O' my sons, Allâh has chosen for you this Monotheistic Faith. Now, therefore, do not die unless you are adhering to it’.
And Ibrahim instructed his sons like this, and so did Ya´qub (Jacob): Oh my sons, Allah has chosen a way of life for you, so do not die but in submission to Him.
Abraham left this legacy for his children. Jacob also said, “O my children, Allah has chosen to reveal the true faith to you. Do not die without having submitted to Allah.”
And with this Abraham frequently enjoined his children, and (so did) Jacob, “O my children, Allah has indeed chosen the religion for you, so do not die except as Muslims.”
Abraham commissioned his sons with it [as a legacy], and [so did] Jacob: "My sons, Allah (God) has selected your religion for you. Do not die unless you are Muslims."
And Abraham enjoined his sons, and Jacob, “O my sons, Allah has chosen the religion for you, so do not die except you were submitting (Muslims).”
And Abraham (in line with this truth) bequeathed his sons, just like Jacob (who said), “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion (comprehension of the system), so do not die without the awareness of your submission to Allah” (Muslim means one who has reached the awareness of his absolute and definite submission to Allah).
Nay, were you witnesses when death approached Jacob ? When he said to his sons: ' What will you worship after me ? ' They said: ' We will worship your God and the God of your forefathers Abraham, Ismail and Isaac, the One (true) God (alone) and to Him we do submit '
There and then Ibrahim bequeathed this rich legacy to his sons as later did his grandson Ya’qub (Jacob); they both enjoined their sons to the same belief. "O my Sons", they said, "Allah has chosen for you a particular system of faith and worship, you are enjoined to observe and practice it, therefore, adhere to it so that when death lays its hands upon you, and you pass through his door you will have conformed your will to Allah's blessed will"
And Ibrahim enjoined (the same) to his sons and Yaqub too, "O my sons ! certainly, Allah has selected for you the religion (Islam) so do not die unless you are Muslims."
And Abraham instructed his sons therein, and Jacob, 'O my sons! Indeed, God has chosen for you the religion, so definitely die not except while you are those who submit.'
And this very thing did Ibrahim bequeath unto his children, and [so did] Jacob, “O my children! Behold, Allah has given this din to you; so do not allow death to overtake you unless you have yielded to Him.
And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; "Oh my sons! God hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam."
And enjoined [it] Ibrahim (upon) his sons and Yaqub, "O my sons! Indeed, Allah has chosen for you the religion, so not (should) you die except while you (are) submissive.
