Do you know who name us or first call us Muslims?

Asalaamu alikum bro,

Well it is in the Qur'an, so it is Allah (swt) who named us muslim and called our religion Islam. In fact there is several verses in the Qur'an that mention the word 'Muslim'



41.33 And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
41.33 Waman ahsanu qawlan mimman daAAa ila Allahi waAAamila salihan waqala innanee mina almuslimeena



72:14. Waanna minnaa almuslimoon waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faola-ika taharraw rashadan

72:14. Some of us are Muslims and some of us have deviated from the Truth. Whoever has embraced Islam has followed the right guidance.

Yea,Warsan Sista, look it very good, Although this verse talk about Muslims, it doesn't say who named us Muslims, there is a verse that mentions the first person that call us Muslims.

[Warsan_Star_Muslimah]

Okay,

I found out that it was first used by Ibrahim (as)?

But did he name us muslims or he was the first person to use it?

[IRONm@N]

You are right it's Prophet Ibrahm cs.
And this is the Ayah!

(Qur'an 3:67). An example is like the one below:

O ye who believe! Bow down and prostrate yourselves, and worship your Lord, and do good, that haply ye may prosper And strive for Allah with the endeavor which is His right. He hath chosen you and hath not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Ibrahim (is yours). He hath named you Muslims of old time and in this (Scripture), that the messenger may be a witness against you, and that ye may be witnesses against mankind. So establish worship, pay the poor due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting Friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper. (Qur'an 22:78)
