Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - An-Nahl : 120
اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ كَانَ اُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلّٰهِ حَنِیْفًا١ؕ وَ لَمْ یَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَۙ
Indeed Abraham was a whole community by himself, 119 obedient to Allah, exclusively devoted to Him. And he was never one of those who associated others with Allah in His Divinity.
119.“Abraham was a whole community by himself”for at that time he was the only Muslim in the whole world who was upholding the banner of Islam, while the rest of the world was upholding the banner of unbelief. As that servant of Allah performed the mission which is ordinarily carried out by a whole community, he was not one person but an institution in himself.
